Uniquely Cindy

This is the second special notice in one week.

I’ve been busy setting up different things for all of my readers. One of the ideas I have been toying with is setting up a Blog Carnival for all of the international readers.

Blog Carnivals

I use blog carnivals to get my articles out to a wider audience, and this has been working great for me. I submit articles on this website to blog carnival.

I even use a blog submission service for my other blog Get International Clients. I chose to do this through CyberCashology – Robert just has the best price going for this kind of service out there. I also like the fact that he travels and caters his products to his international clients’ needs.

You don’t need to use a blog carnival submission service. I do because I have seen the value in getting word about my articles out to as many people as possible. But you can submit you articles to one blog carnival at a time… and I also do this too. Yep, a bit overboard. But hey, when your blogs are new you have to do something to get people to read your articles.
The place to check out the different blog carnivals is at… blogcarnival.com

Blog Carnival Submissions Help Improve Your SEO

Robert just published a comparison on how his blog carnival submission service has helped his clients increase their Alexa and PageRank ratings. This article gave results for May 6th. And I think I recognized the stats for Get International Clients on there – third on his list.

Yes, you want low numbers on your Alexa rank, and new websites start off with a score of several million. And you want a high Page Rank score. But these scores are easy to improve with:

• Consistent entries with new content
• Consistent growth of your online presence – translate that to growing the number of websites linking to you, and not making your website as big as you possibly can.

This is why submitting the links to your articles helps your search engine results. And the proof of your increased online presence can be seen in the tools such as Alexa and PageRank ratings.

But if Robert had held off and compared scores today, May 10th, it would have been even better. My Alexa ranks dropped dramatically last night. Now down to 700,000′s for both websites.

Hosting A Blog Carnival

Hosting a blog carnival is a lot of work if you really want to bring value to the articles in your list. To be able to present the articles nicely to your readers you should preview them to make sure they interest your own readers and, well, you do need to read the articles. Then there is the actual writing of the blog post. Your readers appreciate your comments.

The thing is, I’ve had many comments on my articles, either on the blogs or on the social sites where people find them too. The wide variety of questions is interesting.

But what is more interesting to me is seeing readers from all over. Seeing how they are getting international clients. That is truly inspiring. We should share this. So here is the first step…

Get International Clients Sunday Blog Carnival

I’m happy to announce the Get International Clients Sunday Blog Carnival… starting tomorrow on Get International Clients.

I’ll be posting links to articles on 3 primary areas every Sunday:

• Multicultural, International and Internet Marketing
• International Business & Sales
• Cross Cultural Communications

International Articles

And I’ll be seeking article submissions from all over the world, from English speakers and non-English speakers.

Of course I hope to have quite a few entries from all over, and even in different languages.

You know I believe in using the free online translation tools for your international market research. So let’s practice and open our international mindsets at the same time.
Reading foreign language articles is easy with the instant translation toolbar on each Get International Client article. Click on the article title to get the full article and the toolbar is there.

The cultural differences should provide interesting reads.

Looking forward to your participation!
