You may have seen information being sold about “How to get listed in Google in three days”.
I have not purchased that information, so maybe they know something that I don’t. But, I will tell you how to get listed in the search engines in just a few days, and it won’t cost you anything (or very little).
I know of two ways to get listed quickly.
1. Submit a press release.
2. Start Blogging
Today, I will cover press releases. An online press release is nothing more that a news worthy item that is being announced to the online community.
You need to change your thought process when doing a press release. A press release is not an advertisement, and press release services may even reject your press release if it sounds like an advertisement.
So what news could your press release be about?
Perhaps you just launched a new website.
Perhaps being the home business entrepreneur that you are, you just joined a new network marketing program.
Perhaps you just added a new feature or service to your website.
Before doing a press release, I highly suggest you buy a domain name. I would not send a press release to an affiliate or mlm url. See the last post in the internet marketing Tips to understand why.
The most popular press release service is http://www.prweb.com .
You can do a press release for free through prweb, but I suggest you purchase the $30 service. I always get more release pick ups (A pick up means someone liked you release enough to post it on their website) when I spend the extra $30.
To understand what a good press release looks like, do a search on prweb and read some of the press releases. I have also linked to a few press releases, on the right, that I have done.
About three days after you do your press release, go out to Yahoo and Google. Do a search on your domain name and chances are you will be listed.
Get out there and write a few press releases for inexpensive traffic.
