Fame Publicity Services Gets Businesses Top of Search Engines Fast

Scottish-based public relations consultancy Fame Publicity Services has discovered a simple and cost-effective method of getting its business clients on to the top pages of leading search engines in the shortest possible time.

(PRWEB) November 7, 2005 -- Scottish-based public relations consultancy Fame Publicity Services has discovered a simple and cost-effective method of getting its business clients on to the top pages of leading search engines in the shortest possible time.

PR consultant Murdoch MacDonald, working from his home in Ayrshire, Scotland, uses traditional press releases about his clients, but as well as distributing these stories to the conventional media such as newspapers, television and radio stations, he also places them on certain key strategic websites throughout the world that provide valuable links back to his clients’ own websites, increasing their rankings on leading search engines.

Indeed, so successful has this method become, that recent clients have found themselves on the top page of leading search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN within a week of hiring Fame Publicity Services as their PR consultancy.

Murdoch hit on this publicity method whilst wrestling with the problem of marketing “Phoenix in a Bottle”, a book that he and his wife Lilian published earlier this year about their recovery from alcoholism.

Because Lilian and Murdoch criticise Alcoholics Anonymous for being a pseudo-religious cult and argue that its 12-Step programme and the belief that alcoholism is an incurable disease has blocked and prevented any real progress in the understanding of the true nature of alcoholism, many conventional media outlets did not mention “Phoenix in a Bottle” when it was first published.

So Murdoch developed and refined his Internet press release method to publicise the book direct to potential readers, and now, as a result, “Phoenix in a Bottle” has more than 600 consecutive entries at the top of one leading search engine.

Now he is using the method to benefit the rich diversity of vibrant and progressive companies and businesses that he says abound in Ayrshire and southwest Scotland.

And – the Internet being what it is – companies and businesses throughout the world will also be able to take full advantage the method.

About Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald

Lilian and Murdoch’s lives were devastated by alcoholism, but they have now recovered so completely that they now not only lead normal lives again, but are also able to drink in a perfectly sociable manner once more.

That goes against the teaching of Alcoholics Anonymous, and of many alcoholism treatment centres throughout the world.

But Lilian (61) and Murdoch (58) believe that lifelong sobriety is not the solution to alcoholism, as this only treats the symptoms and not the causes of the problem, and is merely a damage limitation exercise.

The couple argue that alcoholism, in common with other self-harming disorders like bulimia, anorexia and self-mutilation, often stems from problems experienced in childhood.

And if these problems can be identified and properly addressed, then the problem behaviour can be cured.

Ten years ago the couple had hit rock bottom, sleeping rough for two weeks on the streets of Cambridge, where a quarter of a century previously as an undergraduate Murdoch had received an honours degree in English Literature at Magdalene College.

They had moved to Cambridge from Ayr with the idea of Murdoch doing research for a doctorate, but had reverted to their old habits, started binge drinking, and been thrown out of their lodgings.

After a fortnight, and when they were just about at the end of their tether, two nurses on their way home after a Saturday night out took pity on Lilian and Murdoch, bought them a cup of tea and found them a place in a homeless hostel.

They spent the next twelve months there getting to the roots of their alcoholism. They tried AA one last time, before concluding that it was a quasi-religious cult whose ideas on alcoholism were inadequate and outdated.

Instead, by reading psychology, they decided that the causes of their alcoholic behaviour lay in problems experienced during childhood. And that once these problems were realised and addressed, there was no longer any need for escape through alcoholism, and they could even drink normally like other people again.

Ten years after selling newspapers from a stand in Market Square, Cambridge, so that he and Lilian could get back on their feet financially, Murdoch is now a freelance business and financial journalist, and also runs his own public relations consultancy.

And in order to pass on the benefits of their experience to others who still have problems with alcohol, the couple have written their book “Phoenix in a Bottle”.

Reviewing the book, American addiction expert Dr Stanton Peele PhD commented:

“Phoenix in a Bottle is a modern version of The Days of Wine and Roses, and tells the true story of how two people who entered a period of desperate drinking stayed with one another in a close loving relationship, and emerged from their alcoholism able to drink responsibly again.

“Both a wonderful love story and a challenge to conventional wisdom about how people can recover from drinking problems, Phoenix in a Bottle gives people hope, and helps them to confront their own demons - alcohol or otherwise.”

“Phoenix in a Bottle" by Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald is published by Melrose Books price £16.99.
