Public Relations Tip #16 - Public Relations and Yahoo

Public Relations Tip #16 - Yahoo Cool Public Relations Tip for You


You can get more and better public relations successes by achieving a better presence in as many major search engines as possible.

Lots of sites only have their home page indexed at Yahoo, which hampers your organic (free) results.

Here's a quick lookup tip Dr. Andy Williams of EZ-SEO (http://www.ez-search-engine-optimization.com)/ sent me today. If you want to see how many of your pages are indexed in Yahoo ... all you have to do is go to Yahoo.

Then put your URL in the search box after the word 'site:' (site, then a colon, then your URL, no spaces.)

I used my FCS site and found 220 results of my site pages, so apparently mine all got indexed, as opposed to just my homepage. For other Yahoo tricks, check my "Chip Tarver's B2B Tips & B2B Techniques Blog" at http://www.firstcontactsecrets.com/blog.

There are tons of wonderful tips in that blog that will help your public relations efforts, too.
