Writing A F***ing Interesting Press Release

Stiff Industry Competition
I've been on the mailing list and getting the newsletter put out by AdultChamber.com for a long time. I'm not an adult webmaster, but I have had one client with a site that wrote reviews of adult pay sites. I treated it like a regular project except that during the keyword research I was keeping all the things I would normally delete and deleting many of the things I would normally keep! I'm sure I cannot compete with other SEOs that work on adult sites, but the results of that one project were satisfying with the client seeing the same kind of traffic increase as other clients do. I think not going after "top rankings" is an advantage in the adult web site industry just as it is in others in terms of cost-effectiveness and stress.
 
Adult Chamber is a Webmaster Commerce and Resource Center for, you guessed it, webmasters that have adult sites. The newsletter is very professional, and despite the topic I saw only a couple of ads that I would consider x-rated. That's not what the newsletter is about.
 
Adult Chamber's whole deal is to help adult webmasters with all the issues that are of concern to their industry, finding good affiliate programs, restricting access by minors, fighting fraud, and of course, getting traffic to their sites. I signed up for the newsletter because it had a lot of good information and much of it applies to non-adult webmasters too, and some cannot be easily found elsewhere.
 
Free Press Release Distribution
What got me writing on this subject is that I got an extra email from them today and in that email was information about their free press release distribution service. Of course, many of you with tame sites may not want to take advantage of this, but if you are sending out press releases or are considering doing so, you may be interested in their approach. They have published a short guide to putting out effective press releases. I've read a number of these kind of guides and articles, but this one is unlike any other that I've seen.
 
 
If you are not a sailor or easily offended, you may not appreciate the advice that is offered, but if your skin is a little thicker then you may even find it amusing as I did. Amusing and educational.
 
Free Sticky Content
They also offer free content for webmasters as well, and this is a selection of RSS feeds you can add to your site. Most of these are on adult topics.

I-Search Newsletter finally lives again as SearchReturn (Get it? Search-Return...!)

The old I-Search newsletter was the best moderated, best edited, and the best attended search marketing newsletter/discussion list that I had ever seen. LED Digest is of the same quality, but the topics covered are not as focused as I-Search was.

If all the old gang once again participates I am sure SearchReturn will quickly gain the same level of respect and surpass the volume of subscribers of I-Search.

You've only missed one issue as of today, so go to
http://www.searchreturn.com/ and subscribe today. If you are interested in search engine marketing and the best discussions with useful information, this will be the place.

From the site:

"Achieve better search engine rankings. Increase your search engine indexing and enjoy super targeted users. Learn what it takes to convert search users. Discover source code samples. Improve your search. Search engine information, actionable tips, expert advice, and publishing services by site owner Detlev Johnson."
