SEO doing the trick - 2nd spot in Google

Thanks to JustWebs writing a fantastic article about us, if you search Google "Australia Only" for "free press release" or "free online press release", NewsMaker comes up at about No 2 in natural results - out of about 22m! Very convincing and thanks, Rob!

PR fails hard via Twitter

This is the funniest thing I've read all day, from Advertising Age. A heated discussion after a US PR firm forgot to BCC her contacts in a press pitch (i love that, makes me feel less stupid!) and were subsequently flamed on Twitter. The bit that caught my eye was ... "Then again, some of them are "social-media experts" and we all know that's a pretty low bar." (can't we come up with some other term for "social media" - it's so last year :) Found this through #fail where you can find everybody's bloopers.

Coverage in The Oz wins applause!

This has been a record week at the news-making coalface and, at the risk of pumping up my own tyre, it started well with this great testimonial from Matthew Michalewicz, SolveIT Software Pty Ltd.

"Having used a number of media distribution services in Australia and
overseas in the US and Europe, I can tell you first hand that the
results NewsMaker delivers is head and shoulders above any other
service on the market. The first time I used NewsMaker it delivered
more media hits than all the previous releases I had distributed using
a different service. If you want results, use NewsMaker."

Here's a link to just some of the coverage from SolveIT's press release:

It came with a lovely pic - having good-looking staff never hurts in the media!
