FAQ #12: Are there any Additional Sources I can use for Exposure?Question: Hi Bill,I'm Steve Robichaud's partner, Andrew Wroblewski. I just wanted to tell you how pleased and happy we are with your article distribution service. We are already seeing positive results from the articles we submitted two weeks ago. I was wondering if in ADDITION to your great automated service if there was anything else I could do manually (other article website archives etc..) that could compliment your efforts to get even more coverage and exposure. I do NOT want to even try to duplicate your efforts, just compliment them and continue with using your fine service. Thanks again, Andrew Steve Robichaud and Andrew Wroblewski's articles Answer: Andrew, I am very pleased to hear that you are happy with the results you are receiving. In May of 2006, I completely rewrote my distribution software. With that rewrite, many great things were achieved. Most of those new features will not be publicly discussed until which time I have converted all previously distributed articles into the new format. Prior to May of 2006, I had hard-coded all articles into my website. Now, I am databasing all new articles. Once I finish migrating the first 2700 hard-coded articles to the database, then I will begin to discuss the new features openly. My decision on this is a matter of consistency. I do not want to point to these new features until which time all articles in my directory can meet the new expectations. I have hired an assistant to help me migrate all of the previous 2700 articles from hard-coding to the database format. With help, I can complete the task much sooner. With the conversion to the new software, I have expanded my ability to reach websites significantly. I now reach: I do not try to force-feed any content to any website. Each webmaster still retains full editorial control over what may or may not appear on their website. I place content in their website, but that content will not be made public until which time the site's owner approves the post. I am adding new websites to my distribution rotation every week. Just this week, I was able to add three well-respected websites to my reach, and more are being added every week. Many people ask if I plan on reaching specific websites in the future. In some cases, the answer is Yes. And in other cases, the answer is No. All websites are not created equal. Some are worth the effort of submitting to them, and some are not worth the time at all. If the site is worth submitting articles, then chances are they are already in my schedule for future addition to my software. I receive almost daily requests from webmasters to add their article website to my systems. Some will be happy when I add them to my database, and others may be disappointed. One of the things to also consider is this: The following list of websites are places where you can submit your articles now, where I am not sending articles myself... Some of these sites are on the schedule to be added to my list in the future, but they are not yet in my systems. Bill Platt - Owner thePhantomWriters.com |
