Mayor of Concord Featured in National Newspapers
The purpose of every blog is to get readers. Maybe it’s a select group of readers like your friends and family or maybe you want your readership to get mass coverage. When I started the Mayor of Concord dot Com I really wanted to get the attention of the local community but was also open to seeing if anyone outside the Bay Area would want to read the articles. Getting noticed by other media is not an easy task. Some will find your site through word of mouth, others through basic research. One of the quickest paths to getting tapped into a mass audience is to use available tools to spread the word about your blog to as many other sites like yours like a type of blog marketing.It is a long process and there are no guarantees that anyone else wants to read your site but if it pays off, it could allow you to touch a much larger base of readers than you initially intended. That was the case with this.
Chicago Sun Times hosts Mayor of Concord News
Not exactly the Contra Costa Times or other Bay Area newspaper but it’s a start. The Chicago Sun Times - Courier News now pulls selective posts from The Mayor of Concord dot Com for their online news.
There have been several posts that have made it on Courier News which have resulted in a lot of traffic as well as new subsribers to the RSS feed. The Chicago Sun Times is not the only online news source but by far they have driven the most new readers to the site. Over the past week, the Mayor of Concord dot Com has been given exposure to other online newspapers thousands of times. This is a screenshot of just one source I am using.
I appeciate all the new readers and this helps explain to me why there have also been more emails regarding the Email the Mayor topic.
