web site launches

websitelaunches.com is a microblog-inspired, custom application created to provide a unique, highly-niche service to prominently showcase and centralize information focused on B2B or B2C web site launches (and redesign makeovers) across a diverse array of industries. The idea behind this concept was to create a dedicated feed highlighting professional web site launches that could and would be easily accessed by interested parties via today's most popular microblogging tool to date, Twitter.

Easily! If you know of a B2B or a B2C web site that has recently launched or has been completely made over (re-launched), you can promote it on our feed. Fill out our simple, step-by-step online submission form to submit your web site launch information for review and consideration.

If your submission is approved for publication, it will then be automatically posted on our @websitelaunches twitter feed to be shared with the Twittersphere and beyond.

Please see question "Under what circumstances would my submission be rejected?" for reasons why your submission might be declined.

As we see it, a professional web site launch is a usually a marketing-driven event whereupon a company, organization or an individual has either just launched a brand new site or has re-launched their web site with new features and enhancements. While many sites go live daily, we are most interested in featuring industry web sites catering specifically to B2B or B2C audiences.

You'd be surprised. Almost daily, PR distribution sites showcase countless of press releases on this topic alone. Every single day, press releases posted on popular news distribution sites like PRNewswire and PRWeb describe new web sites that have just launched into the marketplace or highlight companies and organizations which have newly re-launched their sites to include new features and enhancements.

Clearly, marketing departments across the planet feel compelled to communicate when they've launched a new web site and expend the time, effort, energy and resources to widely broadcast that news and information across numerous PR, social media and traditional marketing channels.
So to answer the question, then, as to who exactly cares about web sites launching daily across the Internet ... we would argue that many folks in the business world seemingly do. A targeted, focused stream of information relevant to web designers, web developers, online marketers, marketing researchers and industry consultants - for starters - seeking the latest in web site trends and competitive intelligence immediately comes to mind in so far as highly interested parties for the kind of information our service amasses and our feed provides.

And let's not forget the bloggers for hundreds of blogs or publications always seeking to highlight or feature interesting new sites and online services made available to consumers and the general public. They, too, find web site launch-related information to be of high interest and greatly benefit from the timely and resourcefulness content such information brings to their attention.

Yes, at this time of this publishing, this service (presently in beta form) is free to anyone who submits, shares or promotes web site launch information. We have identified an advertising monetization model which we will be implementing in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned.

The term "beta" refers to a piece of software or web application that's still being developed. Our release of websitelaunches.com is an open beta release, which means that our service is open to the general public. If you experience any technical difficulty as you submit your launch information, please contact us using our parent company's online contact form here.

We receive submissions daily and review all submissions personally for quality, accuracy and relevance. We check all links and/or URLs submitted in your proposed tweet and make sure the content being provided in the tweet itself is quality content and is not spam. Automating this process prevents this kind of human-only quality checking we feel is required for ensuring accurate and relevant content from our feed(s).

If your tweet submission is approved, it will be immediately posted to our @websitelaunches Twitter feed. Our review and approval process itself may take 1-3 business days at most.

Spam-like tweet submissions are clearly objectionable as are pornographic, obscene or inappropriate tweet requests. Should your submission be questionable or require more clarification, it will be declined and you will receive an email notification informing you as such. Please visit our Terms of Use policy for more information. Should you wish to re-submit your information after it's been declined, you will have create an entirely new submission from scratch using our "submit your launch" online form.

Yes. Assuming you want to share information about multiple web site launches (perhaps you are a PR agency or marketing consultant wanting to promote various client web site launch projects you have participated in or have led), we welcome information on B2B or B2C web site launches of interest. To submit information on multiple launches, you'll have to submit a form for each unique launch.

Presently, we are in open beta release and collecting any and all feedback from users like you. If the usage of our service increases heavily, we will implement a profile system along with upcoming development upgrades scheduled to roll out in the next 60-90 days.

We have identified an advertising monetization model which we will be implementing in the coming weeks and months. Please stay tuned and check back soon. We will be posting all advertising information, including rates and instructions, by Q1 2011.
