Good PR Distrobution Services?
-
Are there press release distribution services that you Mozzers would recommend? I see a lot of, "don't use this service, this service or this service", but I rarely see anything touting good PR release services.
Followup Question: Are these services still effective after Penguin? I am being much more careful about anchor text (inserting a lot of branded or phrase match instead of just head terms). Are there other ways to be effective but also cautious when using these services?
Thanks for your help!

Ahh I see now! I was just reading that incorrectly. I thought the author was referring to those distribution services as the "standard newswire services". Thanks again!

I read it a few days ago and I don't disagree with anything in it.
They actually state that PRWeb among the others IS one of those "higher end distribution" service providers that you should be using rather than those free (or cheap) ones that little or no humans will ever read.

Thanks for the input Klarke. Am I reading to heavily into this write up? http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2194404/Can-the-SEO-PR-Love-Affair-Survive-After-Panda-Penguin
They mention that it is better to use higher end distribution services over standard newswire services like PRWeb. Based on your recommendation, I am assuming that you don't agree with that statement?

1. only do it if you have something really newsworthy to publish. Otherwise, you're wasting your money.
2. don't even try to include a bunch of targeted anchor text everywhere possible. Less links the better. The point of the press release isn't to get links from press release sites.

Adding social media to SEO service
Hello, I have been struggling to handle and recommend social media work from my clients to help with their rankings and online presence. Often, it is ignored; however, as everyone knows only so much benefit can be gained through directory listings and stellar on-page optimization. I am wondering if someone could lend a hand on how they take over the social media tweeting/blogging/content etc for a third party so that it is still authentic both to their clients, and also seemingly to Google? Any insight would be helpful! Thanks in advance!!!! 🙂

Using Alt Text in stock photography good?
Hello, I got a client who told me that he bought his images from a stock photography website. I know it looks awful and all, but the client can't afford a photographer to get some decent pics. So, How positive it is to use Alt Text on images that aren't yours? The purpose of using alt text properly is to get traffic from an imaged based search right? So if the business shows up with some stock photography it looks kinda bad. Is it worth optimizing images in this case? Or just leave em without optimizing? Changing pics isn't an option. Thanks

Video Distribution Services
Are there any services to push videos across multiple sites? We are creating some testimonial videos and would like to distribute them out to all the major video sites. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to upload them one by one. What can you recommend or is there a better strategy here?

Should I submit my articles to article submition sites myself or have a service submit my articles for me?
It seems that articles I've written about the transmission industry and submitted aren't being noticed by Google. The sites I've submitted them to were free sites, so my question is should I pay to submit them, or pay a service to submit them for me? Or, should I just continue to submit them myself to as high a ranking site as I can find?

Is it good/bad to place a press release on a third party website as well as your own?
I have read that if a Company issues a press release via a third part service (e.g. PR Web) it is best not to place the release on the company’s own website due to negative SEO effects. Is this the case? I‘d really appreciate others thoughts on this.
