Promotion: A Little Light on the Subject

If you have searched online for promotion services and effective search engine optimization you will have seen search engine submission services offered for prices ranging from as low as $20 to more than $5,000.

And if you have been searching for someone to promote your articles, e-book, e-zine, web site or discussion list "by hand," you may not have found such service at any price.

Lower-priced submission services will use some sort of automatic submission software that will include link lists and reference lists of all sorts and not necessarily those with which you would like your writing, e-book or web site to be associated. Using submission software also may be considered "spamming" by some people and could get your web site permanently banned from some of the search engines and directories.

Some of the most expensive services are simply over-priced and over-promised. Competition for top listings is fierce and no one can guarantee top placement for your best keywords, at least for long, since directories and search engines change their algorithms and policies and are not about to make them known to the public. What you really need is consistent search engine and directory ranking under the keywords for which buyers are searching.

What we offer is a well thought-out and carefully personalized service using the most effective and professional methods possible, and at a very reasonable price given the hours of individualized work it takes to do this job well.

For your articles we will carefully proofread and make suggestions of changes if needed, then submit them to the appropriate categories in our up-to-date list of directory services, Web sites and newsletters that announce or list articles for publishers looking for content. We will do a one time promotion of your articles (up to 20 articles) for $100. (If you have only a few articles, we'll charge you only $10 each.) Ongoing follow-up monthly service, submitting up to 20 articles and researching other resources, is available for $50 per month. (Ask us about our ghostwriting services if you'd like to save time and effort by having us write for you. We can write keyword-targeted high quality articles and submit them for you for just $30 each or 10 per month for $150 per month.)

For your e-books we have a up-to-date list of directory services, Web sites and newsletters that announce or list e-publications. We will submit your e-publications to each one that is appropriate for your e-book's subject matter. Your e-book will also be submitted to announcement lists, awards, and review services. We can do custom promotion of your e-publication for $100. Ongoing follow-up monthly promoting is available for $25 per month. (We also can edit and create your e-book, design the front page and graphics and create a great sales page for it. If you are interested just let us know via the quote form, or by telephone.)

For your e-publication (e-zine newsletter or discussion list), we have a up-to-date list of directory services that list e-publications, to which we will also submit your e-zine or list. Your email publication or list will also be submitted to announcement lists, award sites, and review services. This typically creates several hundred new subscribers immediately, and a steady flow of new subscribers on an ongoing basis. We can do custom promotion of your e-publication alone for $100. Ongoing follow-up monthly service is available for $25 per month.

For your Web pages, we will do a careful "by hand" submission to the top search engines and directories, hand submission to our extensive list of smaller search engines and directories, and automated submission to a plethora of free listing sites, all for $200. (This price does not include the fees for the "pay for consideration" search engines and directories. We'll arrange those submissions on an individual basis if you are interested in them.) Ongoing follow-up monthly submissions and research of other advertising venues is available for $45 per month.

In addition, we can work with you to set up a plan to efficiently maximize your search engine placement by increasing your link popularity.

If your site needs to be reviewed, the keywords need to be updated, or you really need a complete site makeover, we can do this too, via our Design It! services.

For your articles or E-book, we can build and host a custom showcase Web site to attract the search engines and provide your product easily to potential customers.

For your ezine or discussion list, we can create a custom subscriber-attracting web site, complete with forms to automate subscription, and templates for archiving your publication online. This, plus the search engine optimization that is included in all our design services, will give your ezine a higher ranking in the search engines and attract even more subscribers.
