Review of Krish's Manual Directory Submission Services

Submission Services Review (This is not a paid review and I am not an affiliate)

Short Review:
Krish's service provides very good quality directory submissions at a nice price. They work fast and deliver what they say they will. If you have any questions or concerns, let them know.

With any submission service, you HAVE to provide them with good information for the listings. If you don't use good keywords, have a description that makes sense, and spell-check your listing, you only have yourself to blame if you don't get good results.

Confirmation Emails
Krish will deal with all the confirmation emails, but if you don't do a lot of submissions, you may want to create a temp email and see what you get. After two packages that totaled about 1,500 directories, my folder has 1656 from the emails, confirmations, and confirmation replies. It did take some time, but I wanted to get those because you can see what was submitted, and also get an idea of over what time period the submission took place. In my case, the emails came in over 4-5 days, with a few that keep showing up every day, and this will continue for a couple of months as editors review and approve the listings.

Submission Reports
I also chose to get the emails because Krish is the second submission service that does not provide a list of where they submit. I was a little concerned about that because the first one that didn't provide a report also didn't submit our site ANYWHERE. Yeah, they were a total scam. But I am happy to report that this is not. I would like to get the reports, but in my case I don't need them when I see these emails come in.

If you don't get the emails, ask that they send you and email with the information they are going to submit BEFORE they start working. This protects you from any errors and also protects them from the same thing. Mistakes happen, and if your site is submitted to hundreds of directories, no matter who is to blame, it would be a bad thing that is easily avoided. :-)

Summary:
This submission service is a great value and I have used 5-6 others in the past, as well as doing my own hand submissions for many years. As long as you know what you are buying and what to expect, you should be very happy with the service they provide.

10 Internet Marketing Tips for New, Small-Law Firms

LexisNexis Offers 10 Internet Marketing Tips for New, Small-Law Firms

An unprecedented series of law firm layoffs has thousands of lawyers looking for work. Many are hanging a shingle for the first time as solo practitioners or as part of two- to five-partner "micro" firms. To turn the pink-slip trend into a profitable new business in this tough economy, every non-billable hour needs to generate leads and build business. Debra Regan, vice president of the internet marketing agency at LexisNexis, offers suggestions for budding solo practitioners and micro practices.

NEW YORK March 22, 2009 -- An unprecedented series of law firm layoffs has thousands of lawyers looking for work. Many are hanging a shingle for the first time as solo practitioners or as part of two- to five-partner "micro" firms. To turn the pink-slip trend into a profitable new business in this tough economy, every non-billable hour needs to generate leads and build business. Debra Regan, vice president of the internet marketing agency at LexisNexis, offers suggestions for budding solo practitioners and micro practices.

1. Advertise Online. Print yellow page advertising alone won't cut it. The investment for a one-time, print display ad is an expense unsupported by demonstrated or measurable data. Investment in online marketing will likely yield more qualified leads and enable easier measurement of ROI as compared to a similar investment in print advertising or print directories.

2. Invest in a professionally designed and developed web site. A polished, professional web site is a must-have for anyone launching a new firm, regardless of size. In 2008, 32 percent of solo attorneys and 20 percent of firms with two-to-five attorneys did not have a web site, according to a 2008 Harris Interactive study on Marketing among Small Law Firms. Don't be one of these unfortunate few.

3. "Consumerize" your web site. When prospects seek an attorney, they want someone with obviously good credentials, but they also want to know what kind of person their attorney is. Pepper in some personal data about schools, hobbies and outside interests.

4. Incorporate video on your site. Develop an introductory video of the managing partner that showcases personality as well as expertise. Post the video on the web (and YouTube) and even consider a TV spot down the road.

5. Get listed in and link to online directories. Identify all online directories available for posting attorney and firm profiles. This includes attorney-specific portals and social networking sites. Link to these on your web site and don't forget to add your firm's web site to each online listing you post.

6. Hire an expert. You practice law and let others grow your business! Consider outsourcing your internet marketing campaign to qualified experts. First, ask for a consultation and determine a comfortable budget (earmark usually 2-5 percent of monthly budget as a good start point). Let the experts generate leads for your fledgling practice.

7. Optimize your web site. Search Engine Marketing experts can be tremendously helpful in improving online visibility and optimizing a firm's organic search rankings. Select a search marketing team that offers transparent and results-driven metrics.

8. Engage in pay-per-click advertising. No firm is too small to reap tangible benefits from pay-per-click campaigns. Ensure your marketing experts select appropriate keywords, based on analysis, that are geographically and topically suited to your firm. This strategy helps favorably position small firms to directly compete with larger firms in your market.

9. Understand and use appropriate metrics. Learn how success and ROI are measured in an online marketing campaign. While you don't need to be an expert, you do need to understand the difference between organic and paid search, as well as "clicks," "impressions" and "conversions." Tracking leads is an appropriate metric used by only 20 percent of attorneys.

10. Be responsive! While your internet marketing team brings in qualified leads, put a system in place to respond to each one. Make a phone call, send an email in response to an inquiry, or schedule a meeting. Keep these leads in a simple database so when you're ready to send the first newsletter from the firm, clients and prospect lists are easily accessible. Don't forget to reference the LexisNexis marketing checklist to get the marketing wheels turning!

Nutrition for Athletes Covered At Seminar

"Sports Medicine and Coaching" Workshop Held at Advanced Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Institute in Freehold, New Jersey

Dr. Gerardo Goldberger, an orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine physician, and triathlete, hosted a workshop at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute with Multisport Coach, Tom Manzi in Freehold, New Jersey.

Freehold, NJ, February 28, 2009 -- The "Sports Medicine and Coaching" workshop at the Pond View Professional Park in Freehold brought together an acclaimed orthopedic surgeon and a respected coach, resulting in a rousing success. More than 70 participants from all over New Jersey gathered to meet with experts who analyzed and discussed the finer details of each individual's athletic fitness and techniques. Experts also gave feedback about the strengths and weaknesses of workshop participants.

The workshop, sponsored by Dr. Gerardo Goldberger, an orthopedic surgeon at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Freehold, and Tom Manzi, Multisport Coach of Training Bible Coaching in Pt. Pleasant, featured state-of-the-art technology to analyze such athletic techniques as foot strikes in running and swim strokes. The fitness center at CentraState Medical Center provided the aquatic facilities for the swim stroke analysis. Specialists properly fitted bikes for cyclists; others analyzed runners' feet to make shoe recommendations; and a nutrition expert discussed sports nutrition, among other presentations.

Dr. Goldberger, a board certified orthopedic surgeon in sports medicine and spine subspecialties, was available throughout the day to assist coaches and therapists with multidisciplinary evaluations. A triathlete himself, Dr. Goldberger also discussed issues related to multisports. In addition, he educated attendees on physical ailments that might hinder them in reaching personal fitness goals.

"Our goal was to help athletes improve not just their health and fitness, but also their performance," Dr. Goldberger said. "Based on the enthusiastic response of those who attended, we believe we accomplished exactly that."

"The expert presenters at our Sports Medicine and Coaching Workshop put a spotlight on sports nutrition, health, and fitness," Manzi said, "as well as recommendations about how to improve techniques and enhance sports specific performance."

Seminar topics included, "How to Train by Using the Periodization Model," "How to Improve Technique," "Designing a Training/Race Plan," and "Nutrition for Athletes."

Manzi said plans are already in the works for a follow-up seminar. "We would like to have another conference, probably in the fall," Manzi said. "We already had a meeting on it. We sent a survey out to see what type of presenters they would like to see."

Those interested in participating as a presenter should contact Manzi at tmanzi@trainingbible.com. News media are welcome to attend.

Dr. Gerardo Goldberger is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon as well as chairman of the department of orthopedics at CentraState Medical Center. He has been an Orthopedic Surgery Board Examiner for the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics since 2003. Dr. Goldberger specializes in spine surgery, knee and shoulder arthroscopy, and total joint replacement, and has a comprehensive approach to patient care. His particular interest in sports medicine stems from his personal involvement in sports as an athlete and physician. Notably, he was a field physician at the Olympic Games in 1996 and at the Soccer World Cup in 1994. An athlete himself, Dr. Goldberger rowed at Rutgers University. As a competitive triathlete, he participated in multiple Ironman races in both the United States and Europe. In 2007, he represented the USA as a member of the National Team at The Aquathlon World Championships held in Mexico. His personal understanding about the demands of competitive sports allows him to provide an individualized treatment plan for competing athletes, based on the latest minimally invasive techniques in shoulder and knee arthroscopy.

Government To Allow eInvoicing

eBilling Specialist Striata Welcomes Decision to Accept Email Bills

The Dutch government recently announced that it is removing restraints on eInvoicing, allowing companies to accept invoices sent via email and thus cut back on their administrative burden and saving up to EUR 600 million on a yearly basis.

London, United Kingdom, February 18, 2009 -- Striata welcomes the announcement that email invoices are now accepted in the Netherlands.

As a global leader in email billing, Striata has campaigned for the recognition of email billing as a cost effective replacement of the outdated paper processes. As the world moves to a digital economy, business should see the benefits of reduced costs, improved cash flow and carbon neutral processes like eBilling.

The recent announcement that companies in the Netherlands have been given the go-ahead to send email invoices will enable them to cut back on their administrative burden, which could ultimately lead to a cost saving of up to EUR 600 million annually - according to Finance State Secretary Jan Kees de Jager.

According to Bruno Koch of Billentis, an organisation can save 1-2% of their turnover by replacing paper invoices and optimising the related processes. Electronic and automated invoice processes can result in savings of 60-80% compared to traditional paper based processing. Thus the payback time on investments in eBilling and eInvoicing projects can be as short as six months.

Striata's advice to would-be eBillers is to ensure that they have an end-to-end solution that can take multiple input formats, generate multiple output formats, provide different encryption and authentication processes and can ensure the highest possible deliverability of emails.

In 2008, roughly 1 million European businesses and 23 million consumers exchanged one billion electronic invoices. Every day in 2009, 1,200 businesses and 11,000 consumers are expected to become new eBilling and eInvoicing users.

"Everyone is aware that email has become a mainstream communication tool, and each year shows increasing adoption by both business and consumers using email for everyday interaction," explains Mike Wright, CEO of Striata. "The presentation and delivery of invoices via email has many benefits to both businesses and their clients."
