When you distribute an online press release, you can get both backlinks and visibility. With the help of a press release distribution service, your press release will be seen in multiple locations, depending on what niche the press release pertains to, and what service you go with. However, it can be place in hundreds of locations and publications. If only ten people read the press release each, you can have thousands of people reading that press release, which is definitely advantageous to your company. As for backlinks, each time that your press release gets published online you will get a backlink pointing towards your website. Every time you get a backlink the search engines will register it as the site that has the backlink on it giving your site a vote of approval. Put simply, the more links you get pointing towards your site, the higher your website will rank in Google, Yahoo and Bing. So, if your press release gets published on 500 websites then you will get an extra 500 backlinks, which should lead to a nice boost in your search engine rankings. So, now you know about the benefits, lets look at how you can achieve them. Of course, you will need a press release. This just needs to be an article about something that would be classed as ‘newsworthy’. You can write this yourself or you can pay someone to write it for you. Unless you have experience of writing press releases then you will be better off hiring someone to do this for you because the success of this marketing method is based largely on the quality of the press release. If you have a poorly written press release then even the best distribution service will struggle to get you good results. As for the press release distribution process, there are lots of companies that can help you with this. Some are free and some are paid. Some of the free ones are actually not too bad, but the paid ones will certainly get your press release out to a lot more people. As you would expect, the more you pay, the more widely your press release will be distributed. The distribution process should run for a week or so. You should start seeing results after a day or two, at which time you should start getting people contacting you and / or your backlink count will start to rise.

You can really make a press release work well by using some SEO elements but unfortunately most of the time it doesn’t work that well. Most SEO press releases do not serve any purpose other than to appeal to the search engine web crawlers and this is apparent as most of them just look like a poorly put together advert. If you release one of these SEO press releases you can be fairly certain that nobody in the media will touch it with a bargepole. continue reading »
