In our continuing effort to increase our message to fastener professionals
around the world, the American Fastener Journal has gone multilingual, with
six languages reaching 121 new search engines. The six languages, with search
engines in parenthesis, are: Traditional Chinese (21), Simplified Chinese (9),
French (29), German(29), Korean (18), and Spanish or Hispanic (15). When referring
to a language, French for example, it is important to note it is spoken not
just in France, but in France's neighboring countries in Europe, French Guiana in South America,
Quebec in Canada, the French Polynesian Islands in the Pacific, the West Indies,
in the Caribbean and the French-connected countries in Africa.
The statistics for Internet search engine usage from outside the United States
are just amazing, if not scary. There are a lot more search engines out there than just
Google, Yahoo and MSN. Being multilingual is just another way for the American
Fastener Journal to get the word out about the articles we publish and to add value
to our advertiser's messages. At the AFJ, we believe this will aid in the continued
growth in readership of our digital version and be a valuable source of information.
FASTENER NEWS NOW just got more valuable! Now a news release, a product news release, for
example, can get attention almost immediately from around the world after it is posted
on this website.
You should have already received the new, expanded American Fastener Source Guide
2008.
The July/August issue will be our 21st Annual Product Reference Guide featuring
Small Screws. If you are a Small Screw manufacturer, importer or master distributor,
do not miss this opportunity to be included in this particular issue. The deadline
to place your advertisement was May 30, 2008.
The extremely popular and "special" Fastener Literature Profile (FLP) section
also will be included in the Product Reference Guide issue. Once again, this is a
great opportunity to feature and promote your company catalogs, flyers
and/or brochures to American fastener distributors' buyers.
