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

Thanks for reply. I did not have a chance to got to MozCon. What topics were most popular?
I haven't used Press Releases in my SEO that is why I am kind of questioning that method.

I used RPWeb years ago with a prior company, and it seemed to be of benefit. That being said, I did not use the service extensively nor for any significant duration of time, so I cannot make a strong endorsement.
The only other thing that I can share is that this topic did come up in a few conversations I was involved in at MozCon, and the general sentiment seemed to be that PRWeb is at the very least of reasonable value. The subject just wasn't discussed exhaustively.
I'm sorry I can't offer more specifics, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this thread. I'm looking to incorporate press releases into my SEO startegy ASAP and would appreciate any insight.

Quote + Link from Associated Press
So almost everyone here has talked about the marvel (for a small business like me, at least) that is HARO. Recently, I was quoted in a story that was written by the Associated Press, by responding to a HARO inquiry. (story resides on their site here in case you want to look). So looking at it with a critical mindset, is this a glorified press release at this point (the thing shows up virtually everywhere since after all, it was written by the AP). Should I be expecting any SEO help from this?

Can a No Follow Press Release harm you?
Hello I know that , in theory, a No Follow link should not be dangerous in any cause. My question is: Can a No Follow Press Release harm you? I watched the Matt Cutts Video about and was pretty clear that the answer is NO. I also read (Google Source) that all press releases should be no follow and with no rich anchor text. We agree till here, right? But what if the press release if part of a link network, bad quality or simply you have many many press releases from one of these PR networks? In this situation, the no follow link is still "safe" or do you think there is some danger? Im doing some "cleaning" and I would like to know your opinion about. Many Thanks for your help

Are PR releases good for Link Building?
I'm having a bit of a conundrum with Press Releases: I recently sent a press release on PRWeb (which I personally think is just "average" compared to others as it focuses mainly on the CBS network and is not focused at all unless you pay for an expensive release) and got over 100 incoming links from high PR news sites (according to Webmaster Tools) but these links had PRWeb in subtitle, so for all I know these were syndicated releases and not "Pick up By" as PRWeb reports. Will this affect Page Rank value or rankings for any keywords? Are these links treated only as temporary links or permanent back links? (I know sometimes they appear in Google News or Yahoo News, but disappear the next day) Was it valuable to the company? Our business is in health sector exclusively on East Coast U.S. and the release was seen all over the world and not one of the links coming back was from a health-related section. They were high rank online sites, but is there value in such links? added 11/30: I was reviewing competitors' link backs I found they did a lot of press releases and gained a high-level link back from each one. These were the best/highest-authority links they had. The syndicated releases were not even listed anywhere. And then I reviewed their SERPs... and guess what, their ranks increased with each one. (So I don't think "duplication" is an issue. If anything only the syndicated copies were penalized, but not the original one)

Press Release Sites for Backlinks
OK, I read a previous thread about whether people found press release sites useful (specifically I am considering a reputable pay for release service). I understand the knock on press releases in this digital age (namely that no one reads them and arguably never did . . . ), but I was interested in moving the discussion in a different direction . . . Do press releases services really help a sites performance based on increased backlinking? Is there a SEO benefit to PR services? My company is a local print company. I've done quite a bit of research on my local competitors, and specifically for a couple products we would like to dominate. The good news is that it looks like the hurdle would not be terribly high to really take over the web presence with a well planned and executed website/SEO campaign. My inclination is that for a relatively small company like mine (dealing with relatively small competitors) it WOULD benefit me to pay for the sheer number of backlinks a PR program would generate. The monthly cost is frankly about the same as the cost of this site, which OF COURSE I get value from (hey moderator, how about a couple extra MOZ points for that one!) Specifically, I am looking at this for myself, but feel free to expand the question to the broader topic.

Do press releases add any link juice?
I've been told by PR Web that anchor text in their press releases will add SEO value and increase our page rank. They even charge more for releases that include the ability to link specific keywords to specific pages (anchor text keywords). So - do such press releases really add any page rank to our site? Here's our press release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/5/prweb8289567.htm Thanks, Alex
