How to email blast a grip of legit opt-in addresses with google

Building an email list takes time. Buying a list is a waste of money. Using a list you've bought is public relations suicide. So, if you want to email thousands of people without a single email address, how do you do it?

Simple. It only takes 24 hours to be in thousands of inboxes WITHOUT A SINGLE EMAIL ADDRESS. HOW?

It's called news.google.com

Google allows people with ANY EMAIL ADDRESS to SUBSCRIBE to news items based on key words. So... If you select a keyword and google news finds a news item with that key word in it, you'll automatically get a real-time email with that news item in your inbox.



Bloggers use this feature all the time to keep new fresh news pumping into the blogosphere.

So there are two benefits to getting into Google News. You automatically get dropped into potentially thousands of email inboxes AND many of the inboxes will belong to bloggers who will post your news item with a link to your site if it's news worthy.

So then. How do you get into News.Google.com?

That was covered in my last blog post. Click on "NEWS" in the key word tags below to find it...

PRWEB - How to get blogs to feature you and link to you

As mentioned in my last post, many NOT ALL of the most popular places you can put online comments are kevlar coated with a NOFOLLOW tag. This makes link building for Google love impossible in the comments field. 

So, should you leave a comment and your url?

YES. If it is a relevant and valuable comment, YES. But since there is no link value ... do NOT make the link active. Active links in comments look spammy. Just say, "sparkah dot com." as if you really don't need anyone to visit your site. Ironically, more will come.

But that's not the topic here.  Getting bloggers to blog about your site IS the topic. So how do you do it?

Exactly the same way the old news agencies got their storys to print in the papers, rags, and mags. DO A PRESS RELEASE. 

Print and TV news outlets use Business Wire as their news source.
 But since the advent of the blog, the fastest source of new is now PRWEB.com
. Remember, bloggers are famished, starving, ravenous for new and exciting stories to post on their blog. Give them something worth salivating over and you will get your hundreds of inbound links and content features.

BONUS!: If you use PRWEB and just pay for ONE STAR, you WILL show up in google news too!
