What press release distribution service do use for UK?
-
Doing a piece on the royal wedding, what PR service should I use?
-
That's a nice list you've got there, I particularly liked the disclaimer about public relations at the top of the page ;-).
We're putting something together that's similar, but coming at it from a PR agency perspective rather than straight linkbuilding for SEO.
Well, the wedding's over so this may not help the OP directly, but could be useful for others:
- For tech clients we use sourcewire regularly (and find it works very well)
- For cheap, releases that still give half-decent links and get picked up by google news, we often use www.journalism.co.uk (which I didn't see on your list and costs about £30 for the basic service)
As a (slightly) amusing aside, we put an April Fool's blog post up about being appointed the PR agency for the royal wedding - would you believe we actually got a couple of enquiries from journalists asking us for information about it! I dread to think how many more enquiries we would have got had we used a wire.

Ive recently done the same for the wedding, and used PRnewswire. They have number of packages from £300 up to £2000 for video hosting. They were pretty good at getting in touch, explaining what they offer and feeding back.
I used the online US distribution package to try get the most backlinks, however was disappointed with the results (I got large numbers of links but all spammy). I would do a UK release next time and see if thats better
Otherwise I have alist of free PR sites here http://seobestpractice.org/Linkbuilding ordered by Pagerank
Overall no PR distribution has done that well for me in actually moving keyword rankings, Id be interested to hear how you get on and who you choose
EDIT: If you do pay for PR, make sure they have submissions to Yahoo, Google news etc

Is it important for SEO that YouTube and Google + be used under the same Google Account?
Hello - I have a client that has their Google Plus and YouTube under separate Google accounts. My thoughts are that it'd be best for SEO and awareness with Google that their active YouTube channel to be under their active Google Plus account. My question is: Is it recommended for SEO that we upload the videos to her prominent Google business account (they only have about 100 subscribers)? If we did this we would delete them from the other account to avoid dup. content. We are in a position where we can make this change easily if it is recommended and good for SEO--which I would think it would be. So we would like to know now if we should make this change before we grow the YouTube channel further, or if we should leave it how it is. Any insight would be very helpful! Thank you!

Lost with Google services: place, Google +, page, youtube ...?
Hello MOoooooooooooooz ! Sorry to add another post on this. But I think most of us agree on the fact that for Google +, Google is not making very good job. Even worst when we know how low is the engagement on this website. Now I'm facing the following issue: Multi page and accounts through Google services ! One of my customer is playing music. So she has a google + profil and a youtube. Now we created the same for her website: A google page and then a google place (Google team has been sending hundred of messages and so far has not merge them). Then I opened a youtube for the Google Page. So i end up with: A Google + Profil for her (we use for the authorship) A Goole + profil for her website (we use for the SEO) A Google place page (we use for maps SEO) A youtube account for her (come with gmail) A youtube channel for her (easier to promote her job) A youtube channel automatically created through the Google + page (2) What would you do in this case to: Get 1 Google page Get 1 youtube channel I would like something easy to use even for youtube download or reviews and sharing. So I do not know which one to keep, etc ... Hope you can help me as I'm sure many of us faced the same issue.

Should I use a Google Plus page or Google Plus for my business?
I am looking to write regular good quality blog posts about the niche subject my business is in. Should these blog posts come from a Google Plus page or my personal Google Plus profile? These blog posts will feature on our company website. How does that effect Google Authorship etc... Thanks

Can you set up a Google 'author' for rich snippets using a G+ business page or does it have to be a personal profile?
I've set up an author profile for myself, but if I'm writing articles for clients, I don't necessarily want to do it in my own name. Is it possible to set up a Google author profile using a G+ business page? Obviously the idea is to try and gain the rich snippets that only recognised authors receive, but to do so in the name of my client.

How can I work out who pressed my Google +1 button?
With Facebook likes it comes up on Facebook, telling you who pressed the 'like' button. You also get the number of people that like it. Is there something like this for the +1 button? I can work it out through webmaster tools, but this is delayed data, unlike the Facebook 'likes' which is instant. Is there a way of knowing who pressed your +1 button straight away, like on Facebook?

Using a Social Media Infrastructure
I just wanted to share a technique I have had a great deal of success with called a Social Media Infrastructure. It has really increased the amount of followers on all of the social media sites I have been using. The first link explains a Social Media Infrastructure and the second link is somebody using the social media infrastructure whom has implemented the technique much better. http://kylelacy.com/social-media-seo-social-media-infrastructure/ http://brianwong.com/blog/how-to-automate-your-blog-workflow-and-increase-your-search-engine-ranking/ It does take some time to get all set up correctly, but it has increased my followers a ton. I am not going to claim that it gives you all the links and as much SEO benefit as they claim, but it does give your social media some muscle.
