Hi Moosa,
thank you for the good answer...
You said - Use it for users not for Search Engines!Then what type of links would you use for search engines...

I don’t see much problem with PR Web other then the fact that you have to be careful about adding links in the Press Release. Actually you only should use PR Web when you want masses to update about your product or service but for SEO purposes it’s of ZERO value from now!
If you think adding a link in the PR is important for visitors then make it no follow otherwise just eliminate the link and let people know about the update you have!
Remember: Use it for users not for Search Engines!

Recent discussion in SERountable here . The opinion is that all links in press releases should be no followed.

I too would like to know what people's opinions are with press release sites like prweb. I have a competitor that has a high authority dofollow link via prweb, and it seems to have worked for them.
I guess the risk is whilst a prweb link may be good, you don't know which spammy sites will pick up that press release and republish it on their site.
But, yeh, would also love to hear what people have to say on this.

Frequency of release
Hello guys, We have a e-commerce website and we constantly create new pages about new products. I would like to know if the frequency of release can impact SEO. Is is better to launch 1 or 2 pages par day or doing it by batch of 10 pages once a week ? Does it make any difference ? Thanks 🙂 Romain

Hello. I recently opened my website last month and after that did some seo and a press release. SEO guy was good and didnt over optimize any particular keyword. but now I am seeing a partular phrase is hovering around 10%. That is rather a money keyword and I am worried am I gonna get a penalty for that. That keyword came from the press release where I am seeing 7 rather very reputable website posted that press release. Now what are the chances of getting a penalty for this?

Link Building with PRweb press releases
Im looking for tips or best practices when sending out PR for link building. I send out at least 4 press releases per month using prweb’s advanced release which allows anchor text. For the past few months I’ve been rotating branded terms, exact match keywords and full URL’s as the links, but always linking to my home page or to one particular subpage. Most of the releases are to announce upcoming projects or to announce a recent website launch for a client, less often we’re highlighting a service or special we want to promote. Im wondering if I should be linking to more sub pages to spread links around, and if I should be focusing more on branded terms vs. exact match anchors. Due to the cost involved I just want to be sure im getting the most out of it.

Looking to increase the quality of our backlinks with a press release: Business wire or Prweb?
Hello all! We are looking to increase the quality of backlinks to our new website www.unitedfitnessmarketing.com and wondering which service would be more beneficial. Care to share any preferences or advice? We have been live for about 3 1/2 months now. We are in a tough niche to find related backlinking websites. We are in the health club marketing consulting field. I just paid for a business.com listing but was thinking a quality press release would give me more juice. My competitors have used free press release services so I'm thinking I could easily one-up them and gain some ground in the rankings. Leaning more towards business wire b/c it's a berkshire hathaway company but would like more input. Thanks!

Press Release and Duplicate Content
Hello folks, We have been using Press Releases to promote our clients business for a couple of years and we have seen great results in referral traffic and SEO wise. Recently one of our clients requested us to publish the PR on their website as well as blast it out using PRWeb and Marketwire. I think that this is not going to be a duplicate content issue for our client's website since I believe that Google can recognize which content has been published first, but I will be more than happy to get some of the Moz community opinions. Thank you
