Ezines:

Just like e-mails, ezines or newsletters are highly affordable and effective online marketing strategies. They are distributed strictly by subscription and hence are not likely to be tagged as spam by search engines or users. They focus on a specific group of readers and as such help a retailer build up on trust.

Some ezines are even posted on websites and blogs in the form of articles or blog posts. The usual method for delivering an ezine to the reader is sending him an e-mail or alert whenever the ezine is published. Newsletters can be published daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on how frequently the user wants to receive them.

Newsletters can be quite profitable as well if they are published in an article directory which has PPC features. All that is required to publish an ezine is a professional content writer and an auto responder service or broadcast feature.

In order to make the best of this online marketing strategy, it is necessary to submit more than 20 articles per month. Just like press releases, RSS feeds, blog posts and other written work, newsletters function as means of adding to website visibility. If the search engines are convinced of the accuracy and originality of the text in a newsletter than there is a better chance of the website being indexed.

At Cosmos Learnings, we provide exceptional writing solutions for businesses online. From initial research and consultation with our clients to carrying out an e-marketing campaign, we use tools like newsletters to take care of each aspect that has the potential to increase your business.

About Content Copyright:

As laid down by the US Code, “Copyright refers to the exclusive right that is rewarded to an individual to reproduce, distribute, perform, display or license his work. An individual can also produce or license derivatives of his work.” The law requires that for a work to be protected by the Code, it should be in a medium that is ‘concrete’ and is original.

For protecting the works that are published online the Digital Millennium Copyright Act [DMCA] is the one solution that a site owner can use. By filing a complaint via Google, action can be taken against the offender. If the offending website uses the Adsense feature of Google, than the Adsense team comes to aid.

The first option a site owner has is always a polite request to take off the copied content off the website. If this does not work than a wronged party can take recourse to the DMCA.

Scraper sites, spam, made for Adsense [MFA] sites simply interfere with the smooth processing and retrieval of information. While it is imperative that such Internet flotsam be fought against, it is equally important to remember that a tool like the DMCA is prevented from being abused.

Using content that is original and based on ethical research methods is the best way a website can establish a credible name for itself. Web surfers visit a website or a blogsite or a gallery for specific information that they are looking for. When they come across a site that has what they are looking for but does not confirm to the general layout of the particular site, they instantly know that such data cannot be trusted. Each visit to a site matters.

At Cosmos Learnings, professional content writers work on creating and developing site content that confirms to writing ethics and copyright laws. Each client associated with us is different and as such treated differently. Our content writing services cover content for websites, blogs, press releases, brochures and other marketing aids.

Private Label Articles:

The phenomenon of ghostwriting is not limited to the publishing world. Its presence is very real in the virtual world as well. An astonishing number of content writers write articles and web content for use by another party. These articles are commonly known as private label articles as they are passed along under private label rights [PLR].

Private label rights allow the purchaser to attach his name to the private label article. In a way it implies a legalized copying of content. But then again, search engines treat sites that have content that seems to be duplicated as scraper sites and do not index them. There doesn’t seem to be much logic in using private label articles when this is the case.

Think again.

There are writers who put private label articles to good use. Content writers are constantly on the look-out for new information. Research forms a main segment of their work. Every source that provides new and relevant information is important to be examined carefully. A private label article as such, feeds them with knowledge that can prove useful to their research. There is no dearth of article directories on the Internet that list articles that are rich in information.

Abuse of private label articles is not uncommon however. There are site owners and lesser writers who see private label articles as a convenient way to fill up their blogs or websites with reams and reams of content. It does not matter if the content is duplicated by a score of other sites or not. A little tweaking here, a little editing there and an article purchased under a PLR can be re-sold as private label article as article directories have no way of recognizing this.

At Cosmos Learnings, our content writing team use content that is original and is based on authentic research. We examine and study different sources and build content sticking to the theme of the topic.

Augmenting Visibility With Content:

Search engines are the determining elements when it comes to recognizing the relevancy of a particular website. And site relevancy in turn is decided by a search engine based upon the SEO methods that have been used.

But how does organic search engine optimization make high page rank possible? E-marketing professionals hold the quality of the text that is displayed on the website as the backbone of a high ranking website. They use a range of tactics to make a website search engine friendly.

Most online marketers place content that is in context to the website’s objectives as the main requirement to render a site search engine friendly. Information that has been intensively researched and then written by a web content writer can lend added credibility to a business. When there is attention paid to detail, the consumer automatically understands that a business is to be trusted.

Cultivating Your Corporate Blog:

When blogging as a platform stepped into mainstream communication, it revolutionized the way public opinion was raised. Just about anyone could publish what they thought on the Internet. And what’s more, it was free.

The increase in user-friendly blogging softwares and tools added to the popularity of this medium of communication. While traditional methods of publishing involve time and money, blogging made it possible for users to update their respective blogs as frequently as they desired. The wheel of knowledge sharing was set in motion.

This brilliant method of publishing was capitalized upon by corporate houses who seen the marketing potential it presented. The business blog was the result of public relation strategies for marketing a business’ goods and services online.

Businesses now had a platform where they could reach out to their target market and interact with them through tools like feedbacks, surveys, polls and comments. While most of the content is biased to a certain extent, first-hand information is the main advantage which consumers have.

Here A Tag, There A Tag, Everywhere A Tag Tag:

It is easy to tag/label an object or person. We’ve been learning to do it from kindergarten. Pigeon- holing anything and everything there is at your disposal sounds fun. And to an extent it is, though in a positive way. The 1990’s introduced the meta element in the world of web development and search engine optimization. These tags proved handy for SEOs, who used them in order to garner higher search engine rankings for their clients, which ultimately resulted in better visibility for their respective websites.

When creating meta tags it is important to avoid creating the same meta tags for every page of your website. Meta tags include title meta tags, description meta tags, and keyword meta tags. Of these, the title meta tag is the most important, as it is what visitors to your website will see featured on their browser when on your page. It is also what the search engine picks up when considering the ranking a particular page has to receive.

The description meta tags are not that important, but doesn’t hurt to have one as in a way, it gives a peek to what is on your page. Copy writing it in a dynamic style compels a searcher to accept your website as a search result by clicking on it. The keyword meta tags are the more trickier to create than the other two meta tags. Wrong keywords will tag YOU as a spammer and could lead to penalization. The most used keywords in your page should be the ones that are included in the keyword meta tags for your website.

Each type of meta tags are important in their own way where high search engine rankings are concerned. The right combination of these three meta elements can boost your site to higher rankings and attract more traffic to your website.

At Cosmos Learnings, our team of professional web content writers understands concepts like these. Working in tandem with the SEO team strategies like these are implemented to elevate a website’s search engine rankings.

How Press Releases Function:

News releases, press releases or news statements are powerful PR generating tools. Business organizations issue them for the prime purpose of providing first hand information about issues concerning the organization. They inform, educate, elucidate, promote and in a way advertise the company or its produce.

A news release is mainly written in third person format with its predominant note voicing first hand knowledge about any events involving the company or new services and products that may be on offer. A statement can also involve information about any individual associated with the company.

Thus depending on their content, press releases have varying forms like general news releases, event release, product press release and social media release and are frequently accompanied by sales pitches that are strategically composed.

Once formulated a news release is mailed, faxed or e-mailed to editors in the print media or to television stations, radio and news networks. It is also posted on online forums and discussion boards. Doing so subtly invite the journalists and reporters to develop articles upon and generate interest in the organization.

While mainstream news agencies are the main targets for a press release, an increasing number of businesses are also seeing the advantage in sending out press releases to those sections of the market that seem beneficial to the organization’s profit making goals. Their concise and precise nature makes them effective means of establishing communication with the target clients and winning their support for the business.

Cosmos Learnings offers content writing services that include press release compilation as well. Content writers having a sharp writing acumen develop statements that prove beneficial to a business by attracting the attentions of the desired target market.
