The news release which was originally scheduled to go public tomorrow has been postponed to Tuesday February 13 due to a conflict with vacation plans. I would like to ensure that I will be available for any calls or emails inquiring about the site. More details on the news release will follow shortly.
A press release is an excellent way to bring media attention to your website or business. It has been nearly nine months since I last published a press release advertising this website to the media. In March 2006 I simultaneously published two identical news releases about this site and the response was enormous. CyberWyre was mentioned in Forbes, Red Herring, CBS MarketWatch Radio, and countless other news sources across the globe.
Over the coming weeks, I will be documenting my progress in preparing a second release, finding the best sites to submit it to, and the amount of media coverage received. For those who do not have much experience in preparing a press release, check out this tutorial I wrote: The Complete Overview of Writing & Distributing a Press Release.
I will be preparing this release over the next few days, and plan to have it released on Tuesday January 30.
Over the past few weeks, CyberWyre has been suffering from intermittent server issues. As some of you had mentioned, the Current Top Internet Searches page as well as the News Script were not functioning correctly. This was due to BlueHost, my hosting provider, moving my server from a PHP5 box to a PHP4.4 box without notifying me. Usually their support has been quite good however it took a number of emails and a phone call yesterday to get everything restored. I had previously recommended them for anyone looking to setup their own blog. At the moment I’m not so sure if I would recommend them anymore or not.
If I decide to move my server I will let you know what alternate host I find.
It is important to keep a watchful eye on how well your site is performing in search engine (SE) results with respect to certain keywords. CyberWyre for example relies on the keywords “keyword”, “high paying”, and “adsense” to bring in most of its search engine traffic. When you have spent time, and possibly money on optimizing your site for certain keywords, it is important to know if your efforts were successful and how high you place in rankings given these keywords.
I have recently found a useful set of SEO tools which greatly eases this process. Jim at We Build Webpages has released a useful tool which allows you to submit your website URL, your search term, and it will generate a table of results summarizing your search engine placement given your search term. Given the URL http://www.cwire.org and the search term “high paying keyword”, Jim’s tool generated the following results:
