How to Handle Press Releases for Multi National Sites
-
Hello Moz Community,
We are currently in the process of launching new ccTLDs. We need to know how to handle this from a press release perspective.
Scenario: If we have a global press release, should we release a version for each one of our TLD's within the wires? Or how should this be handled.
Thank you,
Valerie MacDonald

I think most of the major media markets would have distribution in both, so there's a good possibility that the UK PRs would indeed "bleed."

Thank you Brian. I agree that one release per language should work.
We are launching for UK and AUS. If we have a press release that is UK specific, should we be using PR sites like Market wire and be confident that there wont be bleeding into other markets?
Thank you

Are the ccTLDs in countries of origin not in English? In that case I would absolutely spend the extra money to get each PR translated, and send to news outlets in the target language with the featured ccTLD.
But to save money, if they're monophone, I would bundle as many same-language TLDs into one press release. Also, imagine you're a news editor and you see this:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.SE LAUNCHES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.DE LAUNCHES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.CZ LAUNCHES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.CM LAUNCHESNothing will get you into the roundfile faster than such a barrage. Less is more. If there are multiple language audiences/recipients, that's different.

Unnatural Links To Your Site — Impacts Links warning, Should I do something?
Hi, I got: "Unnatural Links To Your Site — Impacts Links Google has detected a pattern of unnatural artificial, deceptive, or manipulative links pointing to pages on this site. Some links may be outside of the webmaster’s control, so for this incident we are taking targeted action on the unnatural links instead of on the site’s ranking as a whole. " I don't see any dropping at rankings, could the best solution here to be, just to leave everything as it is and be more careful with the link building in the future? Or is there a danger that Google gives further penalties if I don't act on this one do something? I am little afraid that if I start removing links, my rankings will drop, even though they have remained same if don't do anything? Any help is appreciated.

Handling External links to articles in a blog
I have a blog that has it's own articles but then also want to feature third-party sites that have my op-ed content on them. Wondering what is the best practice for handling external links. The reason we want to do this: Make sure our followers and people who subscribe to our blog see all our content (especially when a third-party "high authority" publisher is featuring articles from our authors We also want to be able to get a ranking for the article title when someone searches for it on Search Engines. i.e I write an article for hubspot called "my article about something". When googling "my article about something" I want to see both the Hubspot listing (where my article originated on) as well as a link to my website where I show an abstract (original abstract) and then the link links to the hubspot article. For example: www.myblog.com/listing (renders a listing of articles with links to each individual article) If showing an "abstract" for the blog article and then linking out to the third-party source (where content is featured) www.myblog.com/category/post-title (renders actual article page) When showing an individual post-title page what are the minimum requirements (META TAGS, length or amount of characters ,etc) Thanks in advance!

Links from other sites in our network
I work for a large publisher with many websites, and it's common for our biggest sites to link to smaller sites within the network. These links are follow, site-wide, anchor text-optimised footer links. I think it's obvious that these links are harmful to the smaller sites that are being linked to, but it's hard to convince others of that, particularly because the toolbar PR benefit is very obvious. Do you think it would be better to: a) Remove the links completely b) Keep the links, but make them nofollow c) Keep the links (as it's not harmful) Thanks

Where are all the sites that are linking to me?
I need to compile a list of all the siters linking to my site, but my open site explorer analysis shows very few links. I know for certain that there are many many more sites linking to it (it's an academic site and there are links to it from a lot of academic directories). What am I doing wrong?

What are some good easy links to get for new sites?
We are in the process of launching a couple of new sites and while we know it will be a long process to get them to rank, achieving some long-tail keywords would be beneficial. What sites would you recommend for getting some easy links to start with that can help the indexation and ranking process along in the preliminary stages? Or another way to put the question - when you launch a new site, what steps do you go through?

Press Releases
Has anyone used PRWeb for press releases? Especially their basic plan. The link for the site itself is very valuable but I am more concerned about their distribution network. Any success with this site or any other? Thanks
