Promotion Oppurtinity for Providers

Hey guys.

In a few days this year's Speed Awareness Month is starting.

I think this will be a great opportunity for small providers to promote their companies and work. Last year SAM got LOTS of highlight and was promoted by the most influential people on the internet.

All you have to do is to write an article regarding web performance. If you are interested please sign up.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you

Last year’s Speed Awareness Month (SAM) was a big success with dozens of authors and sponsors making contributions to improve the web for everyone.

In total, 70 articles were published (full of tips and information on how to optimize your website), and many months of free and discounted services were given away. This was a unique chance for everyone to learn from the best in the industry; the information will be accessible forever, so go read the entries now. Our goal is to offer web professionals the best techniques on how to optimize performance for their readers and customers.

It’s 2013 now, and Speed Awareness Month is coming back. We have plans for more content, more authors, more information, and yes, more speed. Here are the themes for our contributions:

  • Raise awareness about why web performance is critical for readers and customers
  • Explain how website speed improves your sales
  • Teach the latest techniques for front-end HTML/CSS/JS optimization
  • Dive into back-end geekery, optimizing Apache, Nginx, Mysql and friends
  • Share the best approaches to image optimization
  • Cache mania: what to cache, when to cache it, and how to set it up
  • Design scalable systems to handle high loads
  • Show how CDNs can help distribute load, and how to set them up
  • Overview the newest technologies that impact web performance

And that’s just the start. We’re looking for authors: if you know your way around web performance, submit an application to contribute. As a reminder, articles are welcome from everyone, whether you’re an individual blogger, another hosting/CDN/service provider, or developer evangelist.

The goal is to bring together the best site performance content from around the web. And of course, authors maintain ownership over their contributions, and will have a bio posted after each article (see last year’s entries).

If your company would like to sponsor a product giveaway/discount, contact [email protected]. Official partners will have their hyperlinked logo listed on the sidebar that accompanies every published article.

We’re looking forward to improving the web this August!
