My Blog on Blog Marketing

Regular readers of this blog will know that one of the major benefits of blogs is a chance to promote other content, and have it ranked in the search engines.

This entry is an announcement of one of my newer blogs. A blog about blog marketing (note how often I blog the word blog).

Why News Releases Fail: How to write great news releases

"My plight as a publicist is that I spend a lot of time educating my clients trying to get them to understand the psychology of dealing with the media. The rubber meets the road in the news release because this single sheet of people is the key nexus for all communications with the media. It has to be free of negative issues or factors that will reduce or eliminate media interest and response."

Pew Internet & American Life Project: Content Creation Online -- Report

Pew Internet & American Life Project: Content Creation Online -- Report: "n a national phone survey between March 12 and May 20, 2003, the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that more than 53 million American adults or 44% of adult Internet users have used the Internet to publish their thoughts, respond to others, post pictures, share files and otherwise contribute to the explosion of content available online. 21% of Internet users say they have posted photographs to Web sites. 13% of Internet users maintain their own Web sites. Around 7% have Web cams running on their computers that allow other Internet users to see live pictures of them and their surroundings."

Navigation blindness

GUUUI - Navigation blindness: "It is quite fascinating how people can focus at a task at hand and totally exclude everything else in their surroundings. A study carried out by Daniel Simons at Harvard University illustrates this phenomenon very well. A number of volunteers watched a 30-second video starring three basketball players wearing black T-shirts and three wearing white ones. The viewers were told to count the number of passes made by one of the teams. Halfway through the film, a man dressed as a gorilla jumped into the middle of the picture, beat his chest at the camera, and walked away. Afterwards the viewers where asked whether they had seen anything unusual. Astonishingly, only a very few put their hand up. The rest had been so fixated on counting the passes that they completely missed the hairy interloper."

I like this rule:

Jared Spool has formulated what he calls the Move-Forward-Until-Found Rule:

"...a web page can do only one of two things: either it contains the content the user wants or it contains the links to get them to the content they want. If a page doesn't follow this rule, then the users stop clicking..." (from the article The Right Trigger Words)

Computer queen Carly crashes

Computer queen Carly crashes - Business - www.smh.com.au: "50, HP's first outside leader, took over in 1999 with a mandate to revitalize Silicon Valley's original start-up, founded in 1938. HP had become known for an insular and balkanized corporate culture celebrated internally as 'The HP Way.'
But the record under Fiorina remained spotty, with HP dashing investor hopes in three of the last nine quarters as it lost market share to rivals Dell and IBM."
