Google News Submission Service Review
Ok, so I do this occassionally, buy into what can often be seen as spam, where someone offers a submission service, tool, advice for a couple of dollars via an online marketing forum. If done occassionally it is often worth a punt.
Last week a new poster on the A4U forum was offering his google news submission servic, strangely in US dollars for a UK forum, but there you go.
The service was $30 - $15 for a review ‘copy’. Details on A4U here
Doing these type of buy ins can be more educating than useful up front. So I handed over my hard earned (so you don’t have to - there you go you now owe me 20quid) and stated my keywords and link.
Yes all three keywords did end up the the first page of google news, all three made it to page one (one made position three, the other two position 1). The least niche of the 3 is now (6 days later) on page , the other two are mid way on page 1.
Any way, the traffic from this, not alot, the keywords were a little too niche. I should have probably had Credit Cards or Persoanl lonad for this test. Also - the worst thing is that the link achieved was from a third party site. Namely searchbyheadlines.com.
This site is free to post to anyway, I have tried it and it can be fairly easy to get on page one for niche keywords using this service.
As with alot of these types of offerings online, it is all about information rather than any real magic.
It was worth a punt, but would not reuse the service.
