Broader Syndication
Second version of your article with a different headline on google news – bing news – yahoo news – Hindustantimes – TTG – Travel News Asia – Travel Impact Newswire – 2500 local, national, and international publications depending on syndication channels and content
FIRST STEP: Your news published on our main news portals
Our first focus is positioning your story on eTurboNews, TravelWireNews.
SECOND STEP: Shifting the focus to partner publications
We will create an alternate story with the same essential message and content and push it to relevant contract publications such as Meetings, Aviation, Luxurious, Saudi Tourism News, Caribbean Tourism News, Hawaii News Online, Visit USA News, Breaking News Travel, Travel News Asia, Hindustan Times, selected TTG publications, and Business Travel are some of our partners. There will never be a duplication penalty, so your story is unique and prominent on all partner platforms, as on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Duck Duck Go, etc
THIRD STEP: Producing content for news aggregators and news wire services
Only after your story has been prominently positioned twice (Step 1+2) will we work on creating a third version to include selected mass aggregators with a proven track record, such as EIN, Business Wire, US News, and Cision, among others.
This will get your third independent version of your story on some of the most known name brands in media, such as AP, Yahoo Finance, NBC, and many more.
It will also generate the glossy reports companies such as EIN or PR Newswire are famous for.
We focus on helping you retain ownership of your story and avoid damaging your reputation with mass content that a serious journalist would never examine.
Our Ranking
Among all major travel industry publications, eTurboNews is number 1 with backlinks; all are 100% do-follow. We’re number 3 in linking to relevant story sources and 5 in overall news portal ranking. Considering 106 independent language sites under the eTurboNews domain, this ranking for some of our primary languages is likely higher.
- eTurboNews is known for being timely, unique, and opinionated. It is among the top-rated travel and tourism news sources in searches and news aggregators such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Duck Duck Go.
The Importance of Search Engines
More important than having an article appear in a publication*(pick up) is positioning it in the search world. Push notification e-newsletters create short-term visibility depending on the number of subscribers and their interest in your content. Still, Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Duck Duck Go will decide the success of your story.
Therefore, our key focus is to generate the best possible ranking for any article or press release on all major search engines. We research content, headlines, excerpts, keyphrases, and trigger words so our posts can compete with similar searches. This will ensure increased and prolonged openings and a long shelf life. Links in such articles will increase visibility for the person the article focuses on. Many of our posts can be easily found even years after publication.
2,500+ local, national, and international media outlets. We will always ensure original coverage without destroying your reputation and Google penalties for repeat content among publications, bloggers, and journalists.
