Before You Delete It, Read It

Written by Timothy Ward


If you ask any honest ezine publisher they will tell you that there is a difference betweenrepparttar number of subscribers an ezine has, andrepparttar 118984 number of people who actually regularly readrepparttar 118985 ezine. Of courserepparttar 118986 betterrepparttar 118987 ezine,repparttar 118988 more regular readers there will be. But evenrepparttar 118989 best ezines get skimmed over, glanced at, and deleted by a certain number of subscribers.

This fact however, doesn't hurtrepparttar 118990 ezine publisher as much as it hurtsrepparttar 118991 subscribers. You see, every time someone just glances over an ezine, or sends an ezine torepparttar 118992 'Trash' folder without reading it, they are missing out on some ofrepparttar 118993 best information repparttar 118994 internet has to offer. This information comes inrepparttar 118995 form of ezine articles.

Ezine articles are a great source of information for a number of reasons. For one, they're written by a wide variety of different men and women aroundrepparttar 118996 internet. This allows readers to get unique perspectives and viewpoints on a variety of subjects.

Secondly, ezine articles are written by people who want to share their knowledge with others. People don't write ezine articles to get rich, they write them to help others. True, they are allowed a resource box atrepparttar 118997 end ofrepparttar 118998 article, but that'srepparttar 118999 only payment they will receive for allrepparttar 119000 time and effort that went intorepparttar 119001 article.

THE FIRST STEPS TO GETTING NOTICED IN "THE VAST AND UNCHARTERED WORLD OF CYBERSPACE"

by Craig Lock

"To win, you first have to be noticed"

Thought I'd share a few hints, based on our experiences overrepparttar 118983 past five years...

In listing our various web sites, we only concentrate onrepparttar 118984 major (12 or so search engines) and directories, like Open Directory, who supply their database to many ofrepparttar 118985 big search engines. We've found that we check our listings inrepparttar 118986 search engines every two months or so and do resubmit - just torepparttar 118987 MAJOR search engines. Though I don't try it with Alta Vista and especially Yahoo (as we are already high up there with our creative writing courses). I don't dare risk them chucking us out, though I don't think they will! We've had some difficulty with HotBot and Lycos (especially) and Open Directory in getting listed, so I do re-submit from time to time and they then seem to get listed. Alta Vista seems to take a while - about 6 weeks. Believe Lycos is "winding down" in listing sites incidentally.

So suggest checking your listings occasionally and resubmit- ting (INDIVIDUALLY). I don't think any ofrepparttar 118988 major search engines see that as spam.

We also submit torepparttar 118989 regional Yahoo (Australia and New Zealand) and find we get listed quite speedily. I bid on key words with Go To for 'writing courses', but we've foundrepparttar 118990 traffic from them to be minimal.

A thought, sorry question, on which to end...

With allrepparttar 118991 comments and articles about search engines and so many people spending so much time and effort "trying to
