Hi buddies, What are press releases? How can we incorporate it within our link development programme? Any big list of press releases site will be great. Thanks in advance.
Its a way to distribute news about your site or company. I've used prweb.com with some success. prleap.com is good as well.
Press Releases are only useful if you have something newsworthy to announce. Otherwise, it won't give you any kind of a boost.
Press Release is one of the most SEO tools which help to increase website traffic and visitors so that your searchability in different search engine must increase. SEOGenies Reseller
Press release is a newsworthy articles intended to be published in the media for the purpose of showcasing the company's activities to the public. It is also an other way of getting a one way link I think.
Here are some free press release site listed. Check this list :- http://www.w3guru-india.com/resources/press-release-submission-list/
Like someone said above, press releases are only good if you have news to announce. If you have a newsworthy event "like a site launch" then it may help as other webmasters may pick up the story and run with it. That's the whole goal of a press release. So use a reputable service and not the free stuff. Free press release sites are not that great. Sites like PRweb are way better. If you have news to announce it's always worth paying for a service that can actually get your news out.
You should see if you can get on the press releases of other small companies. Look for partners who release regular PRs, write an article about a company just before or after its launch (and ask if they can mention you in a "Critical Reception" sort of release) or simply find out what related companies are writing about and do something they would find interesting. This uses press releases but you don't necessarily need to have "news" to be part of one.
A press release distribution is a great way to generate some buzz about your product, service, or website, A press release should be extremely well written to receive the full benefits, if you are not a good writer you should hire someone to write it for you. A press release is a worthy investment, if you attempt to do it for free you may not get your desired result.
