As I understand it a press release is syndicated to other sites. Is it possible to go to the press release site and find the URL to build backilinks to it? Is it possible to find the pages on the sites it's syndicated to to backlink to those pages? Thanks
why not get the RSS feed and submit it too pingler or pingomatic? I use bignews.biz and when a PR gets approved it appears in Google almost immediatley
Not sure if you are looking to find where the release is posted, if so setup Ego Feeds. If you are looking for places to submit your PR here is a list http://www.webmaster-elements.com/submit-press-releases.htm
Yes, it is definitely possible. Although most press releases, unless they involve a major charitable donation, shouldn't be the end result. Long term, I want to craft press releases for SEO benefit of my main site where I can actively sell to prospects instead of a press release where it has to have a standard format.
Yes, you can get quality backlink from the press release submission by giving link of your website in the press release.
