Article Submission Tools and Tidbits

February 28, 2012 9:47 PM

It is a widely known fact that writing and submitting articles is a daunting task but the rewards are far more than the work involved. Writing articles and then submitting them to article directories is one of if not the best way to promote your web site bar none, including blogs, in my opinion.

If you are like me, I have my own directory connected to my website. All my new articles go into this directory and then I submit them to other directories. I also reword them to be a completely new article and submit them too.

My first method was to keep a linked list on my server and then visit the individual article directories. This didn’t suit me as I was having to click back and forth between the list, my notepad, and then the directory where I was submitting to. Lots of work, let me tell you.

My second method was to download one of those automated submission tools. I figured automation was the way to go until I found that these sometimes bunched my articles into one solid paragraph and submitted into whatever category it wanted to. I dumped that method like a hot potato.

The third and final method I tried was to build my own submission page using frames. Then with the list on the left frame, the article directory on the right frame, and the text boxes I put to the top, I came up with my own article submission tool.

Frames are a very old method in HTML and I wouldn’t recommend using them for a website, but it sure made one handy dandy utensil to submit my articles with. It splices, it dices, it makes Julienne fries. Really folks, don’t discount using the old methods in dealing with the new problems.

And the best part of this method is everyone is happy. The article directory owners get their visits and you get your articles submitted to each and every one with more ease.

Effective SEO Techniques

February 28, 2012 7:36 PM

Effective SEO techniques help to improve the rankings for your business website on leading search engines. A poorly optimized website cannot receive the expected visitors due to the simple reason that it is not visible on the Internet. Improved rankings mean enhanced visibility, more traffic and more sales.

SEO tools are used in optimizing your sites. These tools will allow you to scrutinize whether your keywords are the best phrases for your site, to see the total pages you have in the various search engine databases, to check the page rank as well as the backlinks of your competitors.

Selecting the correct keywords is the very first of the SEO techniques to implement and is the fundamental activity anyone seeking top-page search engine placement has to conduct. All the “typical” keywords and phrases may very well be taken at this point in Internet life.

It is a great SEO technique to submit the website or pages of the website in top or popular directories. Search engines serve as the source to travel to the customers. By submitting the website or web pages of the site or articles in open and article directories like the Ezine can help a lot in getting the targeted traffic to your site.

This is one of the most powerful tools of SEO. Many search engines do not even consider if there are some web links pointing to it. Taking another website pointing to yours is important to getting a good ranking. Your keywords must be in the links and should be kept as short as possible.

Another famous and very effective technique is to have your keyword in the main title of your web page. Within the H1 tags, make sure you place a keyword. Some seo experts mentioned that it is no longer important to make sure your keywords are in the meta keyword tags and meta description tags but in the meta title tags, it is extremely important.

Another deceptive technique is adding links in an invisible color. There have been cases that SEO consultants would randomly exchange links that were not relevant with your business. The result? You will get spammed with emails for Viagra, and what is worst is that you may get has banned as well for link s you did not put up.

To benefit from SEO you need to get some links back to your site. This can be a little tricky but is essential. You need to try to contact webmasters for link exchanges. It’s also possible to write articles and participate in forums for links to your site. These forum posts can have the website address in the signature.

SEO specialists can optimise a website that has already been designed, but it’s a lot easier to implement SEO techniques during the design process. At this point, URLs, title tags and meta tags (all components of a site which describe it to search engines) can be optimised rather than having to edit them at a later point. They should all contain important keywords and phrases which will be used in other SEO techniques.

Time Your News Release For Maximum Publicity

February 28, 2012 12:07 PM

“Cindy, where’s that story? I need it yesterday!”

“Coming right up, boss. I’ll have it to you soon,” Cindy shouted back.

“Yesterday isn’t soon enough!”

Cindy clicked on her screen. “You have mail.” She looked at the messages. “Three news releases,” she murmured. “I don’t have time for this now.” [delete] [delete] [delete]

Stop! Was that your news release Cindy just deleted? Too bad you sent it to her at the wrong time. You may have heard that “timing is everything” and that is even more true in a newsroom. But how do you know when is the best time to send a news release?

Media relations is an art more than a science, so there is no single rule. If there was, everyone would be a media star. Here are a few guidelines to help you zoom ahead of your competition for the media’s attention:

Each type of media and each type of journalist is different. Here are just a few of the variables:

National or local media
TV, newspaper, radio or magazine
News reporter, features reporter or columnist
Consumer magazine or trade journal
Daily, weekly or monthly publication
Print or electronic

Each company or organization is different, as is its news. Here are just a few of the variables:

Local, national or international operations
Pre-scheduled news release, or last-minute reaction to today’s news.
Product announcement, policy announcement, financial announcement

Bearing in mind the wide range of news you might announce and the wide range of media targets, 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. tends to be the best time of day to release news. You want to give the assignment editor time to send them out to cover your news. If you hope to get into the noon news, you don’t want to go too late, because you run into TV deadlines. Early afternoon is a second-best time, but if you get much past 2:30, you will catch Cindy’s [delete] button at most daily newspapers and television stations.

I have been asked about the best day of the week to send out a news release. There isn’t one. I have seen plenty of debates on this. From personal experience, the only difference I ever noticed is when I could pick a slow news day. For instance, if in your city the daily newspaper can be reached on Sunday and not too much tends to happen that day in your subject area, you may find it easier to get into Monday’s newspaper than if you try later in the week. But on average, there is not much difference.

Best time of month, year, etc? Again, there is no single best time. There is one golden rule. Do not send out a release when the world is wrapped up in some all-consuming event like the death of Princess Diana or the attack on the World Trade Center. Remember how much TV airtime and newspaper print space were devoted to those events? The media and its audiences had other things on their minds than your news. You can’t control events, but you can control the timing of your release (most of the time).

How far in advance should you send out your release? Some book reviewers usually need several months. Others don’t want to see your release until the book is on the store shelves. Many consumer magazines have a six-month editorial preview. Features editors often run several weeks ahead of time, but sometimes squeeze things in on short notice. News departments want only breaking news. Yesterday’s news is… well, yesterday’s news. Your release is already forgotten.

Does all this sound confusing. It is. The bottom line in any marketing is to know your target market and give it what it wants. Same with the media. The guidelines above give a very abbreviated list of what you need to consider. If you are still unsure, a media coach might be a good investment. But be forewarned – find someone with enough experience and success to coach you in the right direction.

Why Custom Promotional Products are Best

February 23, 2012 12:44 AM

Promotional products are a good way to get customers to notice you – and can be as simple as a piece of candy or other small object – but here’s why custom promotional products are best.

Not all promo items are personalized. Some companies, particularly at trade shows or other expos, feel it is enough to give away “something”. So they may choose to give away generic pens, candies or even items like rulers and tape measures – but without the company’s name attached. Hoping that those who stop long enough at their booths to grab these items will remember where they got them, these companies do not realize that most people grab and run.

The reason why custom promotional products are best is because these items are always personalized or emblazoned with your company’s name, logo and contact information. That way, if a prospective customer just stopped by your booth (or store, or other place of promotion) to grab some “free stuff”, they will end up with your information. Many people just blindly take pens from other places, for example, and custom promotional products with your name on them will end up advertising for you for much longer.

There are other types of custom promotional products as well. Some companies, usually larger companies, choose to get items made just for them that include their information. These items can be representations of what they already sell (such as foods, bath products and office supplies) that are made up to include their company’s name, contact info, and logo. These items are sure to be remembered, as they differ so greatly from the usual promotional items that are given away at booths and in business-to-business transactions.

A final way that custom promotional products work is as a way to get you noticed. If a prospective client or customer sees your name on an item they might not expect (such as a tote bag or travel mug, for example) – it might make them more likely to remember your company’s name. Seeing these things printed on a pen can be overlooked, as most companies produce pens and other stationery items with their names on them. Choose an item that is customized just for you – that way, it will stand out from a crowd of other promos.

Choosing your promo item is an important part of your company’s entire advertising campaign, and that is why custom promotional products are best – they do the best advertising job for your money.

The visual demonstration of the message makes the advertisement or promotional video appear lucid and visually appealing.

Significance:

In an advertisement that comprises of text, a potential client has to go through the text to figure out the message conveyed. This consumes time and effort on the part of a targeted customer.

Free Resources, Articles and Web Links – Find/Submit

February 22, 2012 9:13 AM

The latest and much anticipated addition in the Internet services is Article Directory. Article Directories enables the authors to hand out their content so that the publishers can take hold of them for their web sites without creating much problem to both of them. This special privilege has eased out much fuss in distributing the written text document. Nevertheless, not all the article directories are up to the mark or standard. Rather some of them are so poorly created that instead of giving out good services to the clients, these are aggravating the problem largely. The web masters have to think of some way out to solve this problem.
Again the India directory have told over and over again, that the colors, dimension, images should be consistent to make the website more effective. Selecting as little variety of color as possible for the color scheme should be done. Through out the whole directory, the same scheme should prevail. It will make a viewer feel that he is going through some thing, and the content has harmony among them. Spontaneously, the viewing experience will be much more satisfying. Whoever has a article directory of their own, should always be vigilant so that their directory is always well organized, and going through it is always a pleasurable experience. It should appeal to the sensitive viewers, and invite them for re visiting the directory.
Many article directories can be seen to posses a variety of assorted aligning, diverse color combination, and disproportionately daring fonts. In some of the article directories, there is the provision of adding up of variety of stylish items to make the text look stunning. These may visually have a dazzling effect at first, but at the same time has negative aspects also. Straightforwardness and transparency are expected of an article directory or a website by a visitor. A cluttered, untidy, disorganized appearance will make the viewers leave the site at once. Even if they browse the directory for a while, at end they will get frustrated and eventually leave the site. Both the things are equally avoidable by the web site owner.
Whatever is incorporated in the website, the main aim is to invite the visitors or customers. The styling properties like colors, images, and wordings should portray the similar ideology. These styling elements should complement the substance and massage of the website. Of course the graphics and images are beneficial to the website. But these images should not overpower the article directory. There are many articles where too much of graphics and images have resulted in a difficult navigation. None of the visitors will tolerate endless scrolling to go to the other part of the site, rather they expect that they can easily navigate the required information. Enabling the visitors, an easy contact with the content is the most important task of the website.
Advertisements and affiliate programs cause income from the site. Therefore, it is profitable for the site to put up more ads etc. in the website. Again, here also the ads and affiliate programs must not interfere the reception of the content by the viewers. The potential clients would obviously prefer helpful information rather than going through the ads and affiliate programs. That is why they are browsing the directory. The content of the website is the central item, not the so-called ‘funky’ and ‘stylish’ ads, colors, and font. The ads or something similar to them should not take unnecessary intrusion in the content of the website.
