The Online Media Explained
By Adam Parker
I am often asked how does the online media work? In fact by the time you read this I will have presented on that very topic just yesterday (Wednesday 21st January 2009) at the Fresh Business Thinking "Hit Me! An Introduction to Internet Marketing" event. Well now I have the answer.
At RealWire we spent the last few months of 2008 putting together an animation that explains how the online media can help you to gain influence for your stories.
These newsletter articles are usually around 400 words, but rather than publish the script for a change I would recommend you spend three minutes watching the video instead. It might just...

Providers Of Content In The Online Media World
By Adam Parker
The online media has five main providers of content, these are:
Editorial News Sites
These are the nearest equivalent to the traditional print media. A journalist will review your story and choose to write (or not to write) about the information that you have provided. The difference is that the numbers of readers online is significantly greater than offline - for example;
Total Telecom Magazine - 18,200 readers per month
Total Telecom Online - 105,000 unique users per month
A 577% difference!
Guardian Newspaper - 360,415 circulation (1,121,000 readership)

Online PR - Search Engine Optimisation Plus?
By Adam Parker
There is an old "joke" about the difference between advertising and PR. An advertiser and a PR both want to ask someone out. The advertiser goes straight up to the person and says "I'm great you should go out with me!" The PR gets other people to talk about them so that the person comes up to them and says "I've heard you're great. Please go out with me!"
How does this apply to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) you ask? Well a traditional approach to SEO focuses on trying to get your company's website a high organic search ranking in Google and other search engines. Preferably page one or...

Monitoring And Measuring Your Influence In The Online World
By Adam Parker
One of the great things about the Online Media World is that nearly everything you want to monitor or measure is there to be found.
In the "real" world it is almost impossible to know what people are saying about you to their friends or colleagues in the pub or round the water cooler.
Online there is a vast array of tools which allow you to track what people are saying about you. I covered a number of these in last month's newsletter (Key Tools To Aid Your Business's Online Communication) including RSS, social bookmarking and Twitter. But one of the less obvious PR tools in...
