This is kind of a silly title and not exactly descriptive, but I think it\u2019s cute and fun. I actually did have fun with Google yesterday searching where my latest book is showing up. <\/p>\n
As soon as you start promoting a book on the Internet, you can keep track of it by doing a Google search (or using Google Alerts). It\u2019s good business practice to know where your title is being promoted and it is rather encouraging to find your book listed at a wide array of sites. <\/p>\n
As many of you know, Catscapades, True Cat Tales<\/em><\/strong>, is my latest book\u2014the one that is getting most of my promotional effort, energy and time, these days. So it\u2019s the one I\u2019m following\u2014keeping tabs on. It was quite an interesting and satisfying Google search I conducted yesterday. I found 495 hits for \u201cCatscapades\u201d with my last name\u2014Fry. I located 791 hits for just \u201cCatscapades.\u201d (Not all of these links were related to my Catscapades book, however.)<\/p>\n Many of the listings were expected\u2014Amazon, my Matilija Press website, my Catscapades blog, Barnes and Noble, Twitter, Facebook and several sites and publications that did reviews or posted this as a recommended book. But there were also a few surprises\u2014sites that I didn\u2019t know where they had commented, featured or otherwise acknowledged this book. <\/p>\n This also gave me a chance to check for any discrepancies in representing this title. For example, I notified those sites that didn\u2019t have a link to the Catscapades site, that didn\u2019t have my name listed in the author list even though my book was featured and so forth.<\/p>\n
