Going Out Of Business The Best Way To Get Press Coverage For Your Struggling Dot
from the too-late-to-do-much-good dept
What's the best way to get media coverage for your struggling dot com? Go out of business. At least that's the tongue-in-cheek suggestion of a new study from a PR firm, that found that many businesses got a lot more press coverage in going out of business than they did trying to build their business. Among the top "flameouts"? Boo.com, Pets.com, and Toysmart.com.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
