Nice article. I think that press releases are a good thing to have to improve your SEO results.
But I also think it is only one part of all the a-marketing efforts that can make your company be on the top ranks.
First of all this article is very good and Press releases is big part for a company and websites
Press releases are terrific way of garnering extensive website promotion. Basically, you write something newsworthy about your business, website, or product, and submit it to one of the press release distribution websites. Again, because there is such a demand for content, it’s likely that your press release will be used in both online and traditional media.
Nice tips here. I have been using press releases to get 1st page rankings for a few months now. I like using press releases in addition to normal SEO because Googles critria isn’t as strict for news items as it is for the normal organic listings.
I have found Webwire to be the best paid press release service I have used yet. By using some of the simple optimizing techniques you mentioned in the article it’s possible to get on the 1st page for any keyword. Even the most highly competitive.
But do you know of any free press release sites that you can get similar results?
I haven’t found any free sites that I’m satisfied with yet.
Cheers.
