Here are five tips how you can get noticed by others in your online market:
- Create free tools that everyone can use.
Think of something that would help you, have it put together, then offer it up for everyone else to use on your site or theirs. - Write reviews about other services within your market.
If you can spend the time to learn all the other services in your market and give a constructive review, you’ll be surprised at how far flattery will get you. Not to mention the social networks that may pick up your reviews and send loads of new readers. - Participate on your peers websites.
Look for forums or blogs and interact with the owners and users on their website. Make sure you use your name and include a link to your website in your profile. - Make public announcements through the press about your product or service.
Use press releases and have them shown in popular news outlets like Yahoo and Google. People like to keep up with the latest news related to their own market. - Network yourself through conferences.
Most every industry will have some sort of conference or expo that will be full of people that are there to meet others and learn about products or services they may not have heard of. Setup a booth and meet as many people as you can. - BONUS TIP: Show up on the top of search results for keywords in your market.
Anyone in your market will see who shows up first when potential customers enter your search terms. If your website appears at the top for most search terms in your market, others in your market will try to figure out what you’re doing to capture most of the traffic. (HINT: SEE LINKWORTH)
These are obviously not the only solutions out there, but these will definitely get one going in the right direction.

Google Search Results Screwed Up
February 10th, 2007 — Interesting Recent Finds, SEO Articles, Text Links
Today someone published a Digg about the biggest Google Bomb ever. It appears the individual was searching for “how student loans affect fico score” and wow were the results a little favored towards Google’s blogspot pages! Since I’m sure they are going to correct this issue before some read this post, I went ahead and printed the top 100 results to PDF so you could see what it looked like.
The comments for this digg post shows Matt Cutt’s immediately responding to the digg with the following suggestion:
Hi, I work at Google and I’ll check on this. My impression was that something was happening in the migration from the old blogger to the new version of blogger, but I’ll definitely check with the blogger team about tackling this.
Hmmm, does this mean they place weight on blogspot sites over other sites? Probably not, probably just a huge bug, but interesting to see.
