PR is a must for Directories

Yes you read the header right

PR
Press Release

It has been around for years (way before anyone else picked up & used the same initials)

And we spent over 900USD on the PR Press Release

Now 90 days on the results are still coming in

We have seen the XML/RSS Feed picked up over 42,000 times

and

We have received Headline Displayed on over 13,000 WebSites

Great Investment

What results have you achieved from your PR?

Comments :-

 

How has the revenue been coz of this PR? Did the traffic received convert into sales? How has the ROI been?

- Lemme know.

 

Its been really great Sunny wait until tommorrow and I will PM you some very interesting data

 

May i see the press release on a site Pete? you dont want to hide $900 worth of press release i imagine.

 

We had great success during our PR campaign for 36Towns back in June. We had people calling in and requesting to republish our press release on their websites. Good PR campaign = great spike in traffic and revenue.

 

Sure pipes

Thanks

 

Thanks Pete theres no way i can afford one yet but il keep it in mind for future promotions.

Reading now

 

You don't have to spend so much its just that we do them frequently and we know that the more you spend the better the results

But they must be compiled professionally and that is why we always get Jenn to write the PR

 

The title had me confused for a second or two, lol

Nice directory and I also liked the PR; glad you are seeing good results from your investment.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Brian

 

Good results Pete, its something il keep in mind for the future.

 

Thanks Brian

Appreciate your comments

 

Yeah i imagine the distribution may add to a bit of the total cost too, depending on where their placed.

Ive written articles in the past, but never a press release, my writing skills are not at that level so i agree that it is a better choice to go with the professionals for that.

 

Nice to see great stats..
Congrats for the top PR

 

Lol- Pete

I got confused for a second with the thread title. But yes- you are correct - PR is always good, creates the buzz and gets you new leads.
Hatts Off to your creativity

 

Well Done BG, it seems your version of PR has some good PR ( public relations ) benifits as well.

 

No pun intended Pete how would this make a big difference when at the moment the third party you are reffering to takes control. Spending good amount of money would not be a great idea as most look for something else, Page Rank. To rank in top keywords for a site.

 

Press Release?

I am a freelance journalist by occupation and many of the things in the release made me suspicious but my job is to be nosy. The release looks good but when you do checks to see legimacy of the next big thing for us freelancers you see that the domain is registered in the UK, the contact tel number is in the philipines same as finance director? You need to be a registered company to be a financial director? I never found any company registered under this name. Moral of the story, if you make something out to be bigger than what it is you are going to get looked into and therefore must be accurate in your press release.

 

Nice to see that Pete...

Just to update you on the page - http://prweb.com/releases/2007/10/prweb561088.htm

here http to link back to your site is wrong. so, pls change the same.

 

Jaboora, I don't know much about registrations for UK businesses, but I did a little bit of digging on my own. I'm not sure if it does or not, but perhaps the info on the contact page answers your question about if / where the business is registered (again, I'm not sure if it's what you were looking for).

Good catch dhruv. I haven't logged into PRweb personally in quite a while, so perhaps they mention it clearly in the posting process (although I don't remember seeing it in the past). I contacted Joe Beaulaurier this morning with the suggestion that they look into it (and if they can't remedy it sitewide, to at least make it clear(er) during posting about the links they automatically make live), so hopefully they'll be able to fix the issue on a large scale.

4 addresses is it neccessary? must complicate things with correspondance and reaching the correct office.

It says that Suite #2 is for a company called Hawaii's Best Inns not City Journalist Directory

It says 102, Visunee Mansion
33/5 Soi Nai Lert is for a company called D Management and Consultancy Ltd

Drake Chambers
P.O.Box 3321
Road Town
Tortola
