Hey everyone, I just got a newspaper article written about my running and website! It hit the streets today and I'm super pumped! This is the first time I've had an article written about me or any of my sites. I'd like to thank the members of Digital Point in helping me with all aspects of creating/running/promoting a website, what a great resource.
I'd also like to start a discussion about newspaper marketing. I searched around the forums some and haven't found any posts about articles written about websites. The TAB isn't too big, distribution of 18,000, I'll let you all know what sort of effects it ends up having on my site. Has anyone else had an article written about their site? How big was the paper and what effects did it have?
Thanks man, I emailed them when I did my last press release at PRWEB. I wrote a little about myself and sent them the release, then they contacted me and said they wanted to do a story, followed by a lot of back and forth. It actually took over a month to get the article out; I guess these things take time.
It’s sort of hard to tell. It certainly didn't do anything really big for the page as of yet, and there haven't been any sales yet. It sucks they didn't put a live link on their website. A lot less people will visit it if they have to copy and paste it.
Also a lot of people have been hovering around my buy page, a lot more than used to. So maybe it's not optimized for sales?
