Submitting Same Press Releases to Different Sites
-
Hi,
Is it a good idea to submit the same press release to many different press release web sites? if yes, how many a day?I haven't try this yet since i always use paid press releases submission
Like: Prweb.com and Prlog.org (Paid)
But this time i want to try 50 top free PR websites.
so i wandering if its good thing to do!
Thank You!

For easy niches? Yeah you could do it and it could get you to rank. For harder niches, I'd go with new content and stick with the big PR sites only. The free PR sites usually just scrape it off them anyways. Either that or they are just article directories dress up as "press release" sites.
BTW, Prlog ranks pretty well on it's own, it'll probably beat prweb in terms of referral traffic to you.

Short answer is no.
You should distribute a press release only when you really have to say something important. Moreover, you will have a better chance when your content is customized.
Also, I don't think that submitting it to many PR sites is a good idea. You can choose one of the top press release distribution sites, for example PRWeb, PRnewswire and submit your PR no more than once in a month.
And of course, there is a great blog post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/are-you-wasting-budget-with-online-press-release-distribution-14595

Press release sites don't pass a lot of link value, so don't spend too many resources on them. There probably are not 50 PR sites worth submitting to.
If you're simply trying to get link value from the press releases, I would concentrate on the highest domain authority ones, and write a unique release for each so that you have the best chance of the release being indexed and passing you link value.
Of course, the most effective use of press releases is to get actual press coverage from the news media, in which case contacting reporters directly, responding to requests on HARO, and sending in write-ups to newspaper tip lines will often work better than submitting an online press release.

How do you optimize your site for surrounding areas?
For example, If I am optimizing a site for a dentist in West Palm Beach, Florida (the primary city) how do I ensure I am also optimizing my site for the smaller cities/towns that are part of West Palm Beach like Royal Palm Beach, Wellington etc.? If I am using "West Palm Beach" in my site and page titles etc., how do I also rank for the smaller cities? What are the basic tactics in terms of on-site and linking? For instance, lets say I offer Botox in West Palm Beach...how do I also optimize for Wellington, Royal Palm Beach and other local cities? Do I really have to create unique Botox content for each city? Thanks!

Before submitting to a directory, what do you look for?
I'm going through one of my competitors links and of course I'm coming across some directories. Just wondering what you might look for in a quality directory. I'm looking at one right now called SoMuch.com and it appears to be a quality directory but then I look down at the footer and I see "Search Engine Friendly Free Link Directory". The domain authority is 80. Thanks

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?
