How to promote press releases and guest posts
-
Hi, i would like to know what is the best way to promote press releases and guest posts.
We do a lot of guest articles where we write for other sites and we also do a lot of free press releases, but i would like the hard work to pay off and would like to know what are the best methods to promote these press releases and guests posts.
what I would like to do is to have our brand name come up a lot in the search engines.
any other methods to do this would also be a great help

thank you for the advice

Your first go-to resource should be your existing audience, but try going above and beyond on Social Media! Push out your content over the obvious social platforms where you've already built up a following. You can enhance this by tweeting to specific industry experts you want to grab the attention of, joining and posting in Google+ Communities related to your industry, as well posting in professional groups on LinkedIn. Good luck with your promotion efforts!

Also don't forget about Google +, that will help you

hi, thanks for that. Some of the blogs have do follow. What we are trying to do is to promote our brand by getting the articles we have written for other sites and our press releases appearing higher up in the search engine.
We spend a number of hours researching and writing the articles and do not want them to vanish, we write articles for other sites to promote our brand name.
At the moment we are already linking them from our site but we are looking at other ways to give the articles and press releases link juice and improve its position in google

Social Media is considered the best way to promote Press Release. Use Hashtag feature in both Twitter and Facebook to promote the posts to the target audience in similar field
Also, for guest articles - are these done in high quality blog sites. If its so, do you use anchor text and links and is it dofollow. If its yes, then may be you can also again use Facebook posting, Twitter and Pin it to get audience for your posts

How to promote your blog content
Hi there, we've been blogging for a while now. Some of our content ranks quit well, other posts don't seem to be ranking at all. The weird thing (I think it's weird...) is that we recently published a post and focussed on a phrase that competes with over 400 million indexed pages, and after 3 weeks we're on page 3, and for other posts with only 2.5 million indexed pages we rank past page 5 (ok, this post is already 1,5 year old, does this matter?). To give you some background info, we moved our blog in January in a new subdomain, and redirected the old url's, but didn't actively promote the old posts. Would promoting the old articles through social media help us boost the rankings for these articles (the articles are "best practices", "how-to's", ...). Where / how do you promote your content after you published it on your blog? I find it hard posting in LinkedIn groups related to finance while I have the "online marketing manager" title on my profile. Why would a finance professional read an article shared by a marketing dude? As LinkedIn's API doensn't allow to post into groups anymore, do you actually go through all your relevant groups every time you publish a new blog to share the article?

Wordpress post templates
Hi everyone! What I need is a way in Wordpress for the author to select a category for their post, and then have a template come up with some fields in addition to just the large field where you write your post, where the author can add some additional information. Then on the final post, have that information added to the top in some format that I (as the admin) can control. What I'm doing is setting up an internal company blog so our employees can have more visibility across teams. Some categories of posts will always include the same information, like release numbers, conference attendance, yes/no conclusions, among other information. If there's a plug-in for this, free or not, that would be great! If you can't tell I'm a Wordpress noob... so please bear with me. 🙂

Press Releases and Duplicate Content on Event Related Site
I have a site that lists events. I ask those submitting events to submit original content if possible, but frequently they submit press releases which are already published elsewhere. I rewrite some of the press releases, but do not have time to rewrite every press release that comes my way. I want my users to get a comprehensive list of events, but I don't want get a penalty for duplicate content. What is the best solution?

Blog Posts Not Getting Indexed by SERP's
Our blog posts are typically indexed rather quickly, sometimes within 10 minutes or so. Lately it seems like it is taking much longer, and a post from yesterday afternoon isn't appearing in any of the search engines. Can anyone give me an idea why this may be happening? http://www.360dwellings.com/2011-denver-parade-of-homes-luxury-home-tour/
