PUBLICITY, CASE STUDIES & “GETTING INK”

This news blog is free of advertising. There are zero ads on this site. In fact, we don’t even have Google Ads; nor does the author promote his own company and services (only the odd cross-link).

To receive coverage and publicity on this website your story must be in the form of a case study, piece of research or analysis, or be connected to an event of interest to the readership (namely website and intranet managers, strategists, analysts, techies, and consultants). Your story should also include, wherever possible, screenshots, supporting evidence and/or expert quotes.

We run no advetorials. If you want coverage, it must be a good case study article, where it’s been implemented, and the focus is on the implementation, the process, and outcomes. It can mention the solution, vendor and even have a link back to the vendor site, but the article focus must be on the case study, and not contain any sales language.
