I have recently started a web development business and have landed a contract to promote the web site of a high profile bbc reporter. The thing is my customer wants his site to have a good search engine position before 25th May. I have explained that this is a tall order to the customer. However was wondering if you guys could suggested anything I can do. The customer wants his website marketing to peak at the same time as some uk media coverage 25th .
I have submitted to Inktomi Yahoo and Domz and all the other top search engines and will do overture and google ad words, any ideas would be more than helpful
This is a big deal for our little company as lots more work could come our way.
Thanks for your time on this one guys
You can also try to work out link partnerships with related sites. Ask them to feature this reporter on their home page for awhile. Maybe any stories the reporter has done could be featured on the site and then linked to from other sites.
since I have no idea what exactly you're trying to promote other than the guy himself - i would suggest creating Press Releases/newsworthy articles for online distribution to news sources that are relevant to the media event you're talking about - you can submit the news articles directly to something like this:
[uk.news.yahoo.com...]
I would think along those lines
Overture is also a good way to get up to the top quickly.
The website is promoting a series of travel books the journalist has written about what to do in a city in 24hrs
The reason why he is in a rush is that the 1st book publish is about Estonia where the Eurovision Song Contest is being held on 25th May. The customer is hoping to pick up some hits for people searching for stuff on the contest.
If any one would like to put a link on their site to help me out I would be very grateful. Sticky mail me if your interested
i have just paid for a listing on Teoma / ask.com
do you know the best way to get on euroseek
have you got to pay to be listed there?
its a new db, but maybe also good for your submissions since its the eurovision song contest and its a euro engine.
more info here [webmasterworld.com...]
Is there a page on the site specifically written about Estonia & this Eurovision song contest? In other words, have you created/optimized the site/page specifically for this event?
Because if you're going to pay for pages to be spidered/indexed - then they need this info on them to come up in the top results.
In that sense, its understandable to see why it takes so long to get your link into credible places.
IF the content owner was willing to part with some money, perhaps you could pay for some "very" strategic links here and there as a build up to the day (and this may help you get listed by a roaming spider), though the likes of google is very unlikely. Ahem, unless you have visited the site with the toolbar regularly lol
