press releases that are picked up by Google News, MSN, Yahoo and
MANY other venues as well. The articles are also fed to most of the major
trade publications as well.
Your press release needs to be about something newsworthy. Some
examples you may want to consider, include:
1. A rare or unusual item that you recently sold
2. A rare or unusual item that you recently acquired for sale
3. Interesting or unique information that you have in regard
to customer activity on your site. This could be sales trends
or some other information that only you have access to
4. An unusual special event that is taking place at your online
store, such as a donation of a portion of your sales to charity.
5. Interesting information about items that you specialize in.
Give it a try. The reporting system on the site lets you actually see how
many people view each of your releases and you can post as many
different articles as you like.
