I was trying to examine the truth behind "Search Engines crawl Press Release faster then Articles". After submitting the Press Release, found it is true. Want to ask what is the reason behind this?
Press release are useful for many factor. They are indexing often. Press Release can be used for increasing keyword ranking. Press release can be used for the new site to get away from sandbox quickly. So that it better than article.
Press releases are picked up by the search engines and the item if news worth is posted in their news section, there are many free press release sites that are just as good as paid ones, so check them out.
