Getting Your Site Seen
Generating a Buzz
I am going to break it into two very easy categories - Press
Releases and Article Submissions
Press Releases - New websites seem to believe that people who
need their service or product will just find them because of
that need. Anyone who has started a site just to sit back and
let the orders or visitors roll in has been quickly reminded
that despite being the "web", people still need to know you are
there. There are plenty of great sites that allow you to
"announce" your arrival. Even if you are an established site you
are still able to write a press release to announce any new
products or tools you may have. Somehow in the move from
newspapers to internet many have lost the fine art of writing an
engaging (and self serving of course) press release. I will
write another article sometime about that lost art with step by
step instructions. In the meantime, just read some of the other
Press Releases and adapt your own. These press releases are
spidered by google so it is a great way to not only drive
traffic to your site but get a link also.
Here are some sites to start with:
http://www.prleap.com : Your free press release goes to google
news(news.google.com) and searchengines like yahoo, msn
altavaista and you can view the history and statistics. For this
release, your article must be professional.
http://www.prweb.com: One of the best press release websites i
come across. You can issue free press release which goes to
related websites and article posting websites. For a fee of 60+
only, your article goest to various news sites like yahoo news,
business.com(iam not sure of this) and related big news websites.
Article Submissions - The second great way to gain links is to
submit articles. Do you have a web design site? Write an article
about Google starting to index flash sites. All of the good
submission sites allow you to put an about the Author section
with links to your site in it. This gives you an instant link
from the site you submitted it to but MORE IMPORTANTLY, these
sites allow other website owners to boost their content by
including YOUR article in their websites. The only thing they
ask is for the article and your link to not be modified. Write a
good article and you may see 100's of one way links within
weeks. Write 10 great articles and.... well you get the idea.
