Piggyback on Local and National News...

Always be on the look-out for news which somehow relates to your business. The quickest way in the world to get free publicity is to piggyback on what is already hot. For example, if the subject of the news is record-setting crime rates, and you run a site focused on security services, or crime prevention, then get your press releases out immediately.

Jump on the bandwagon as soon as you can, and email or fax your press releases to local and national news services. You might just get lucky, and recieve a nice boost in traffic.

Use Press Releases to Generate Positive PR...

Many webmasters forget the power of the press. And those that do remember the press often get caught up in just sending out product announcements and web site announcements. They don't provide any benefits to the press.

If you have sent out press release after press release and have never received any media attention, then that should tell you something. Whatever you have been sending out is not newsworthy. Publishers publish the news, not an ad for your company.

Pick up a few of your targeted magazines when you are preparing a press release for magazines. Read through them and take notice of those articles or announcements which were probably sent in as press releases. They will be the ones that look like announcements: sites, individuals, industries, etc.

Then, when you are preparing your press release, endeavor to make it as much like the announcements you have seen published in the magazines. Don't try to re-invent the wheel. Copy success.

Follow the same strategy for getting published in newspapers. Look over any successful industry media attention that you find in the targeted newspapers. What are they about? What made them interesting to the publisher?

Remember that the readership is not as targeted when you are sending to newspapers as they are within magazines. Pay special attention that you don't use any industry jargon that may not be understood by the readers.

Radio is another great way to get your message out, as there are hundreds of thousands of radio stations waiting to hear your newsworthy stories. Be prepared. With these you will often be asked to do a radio interview as an expert to discuss your industry subjects.

Most marketers who are new to press releases try sending out their press releases to some of the smaller radio stations first. This way they will have a chance to practice their skills live on the radio without causing too much of a danger to their businesses. Then, they go after the bigger targets as they become more confident in their abilities.

Don't think that you can't get publicity through TV just because they are going after the big news. I know an Internet marketer who received over 12,000 subscribers to his Opt-in publication because his site was mentioned on TV.

Watch TV and find out what kind of Internet news they are publishing information about. Prepare a short press release using the guidelines in our free publicity e-book and send it out to all of the TV stations. One mention on TV could quickly produce more traffic to your site than a year of other types of free advertising.

If you put some of these valuable PR strategies to use, it will be possible to greatly increase traffic to your website!

Publicize Yourself...

One reason that your site may not be getting enough traffic is that no one knows about you yet. A good first step to becoming successful is to change that.

You need to get your name out there on the Internet, and one of the best way of doing that is posting on discussion forums. As you engage in discussion, you will get to know more and more people who will be curious about who you are and what you do.

Most forums will allow you to add a short signature to the end of each of your messages, and your signature is a great place to put your website URL.

Remember, the more forums you join, and the more messages you post, the more people will see your site URL, so join as many as possible and actively participate.

You can get started by searching for the subject of your site, and "forum" on Google. This should turn up a few good sites where you can sign-up for free and publicize yourself!
