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.

Press Release Sites
I don't do that many press releases, but I need to do one soon. I had been using PRweb.com and I see they raised their prices. Are they considered the best online PR site or are there sites people have used that have gotten similar results for less money?? Thanks

Do Press Releases Show Up as Links?
We release a press release nearly a year ago: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9185282.htm However, I can't find the links or the prweb.com linking domain in our link profile. I've see MarketWire links show up in competitors' profiles. Is this just an issue specific to PRWeb or am I missing something? Thanks!

Press Releases & Blogs for SEO
Hello, If I put out too many press releases/blog entries out can google penalize the site? Also other than wordpress or blogger are there any other free blogs that are worth while? Can hosting on the main site help also? I was thinking of hosting on the main site but I wasnt sure If I needed to buy a new domain name, or just host it as XXXXXX.com/blog Thank you!

To Press Release (or not)?
Hey Mozzers, Our company designs, develops, and manufactures products for a living. Last year we came up with an idea of our own, designed, developed, tooled and produced it all on our own dime. We did all the branding, website, EVERYTHING on our own. The product looks like it's going to be pretty successful. We are now planning on opening our web store tomorrow and expect to be selling and shipping product tomorrow. The product is an iPhone accessory that basically turns your iPhone into a wearable POV camera similar to GoPro. Check it out at http://miveu.com. I'm wondering if we should actually do a press release about the opening of our web store. I only say this because it seems like a natural thing to do at the moment. That said, it sounds like it could actually hurt us. If this is a good idea, what's the best channel. Doesn't need to be the cheapest channel, but one that will spread the word. I guess the real question is, "how can we drive traffic to our site?" over the next few days. Please don't bash me after looking at our site. While the site looks great IMO, we have done ZERO SEO work to this site. This includes even the most basic novice work, like titles and descriptions. To this point, we have focused all our efforts on getting the product to market, getting the website running, getting the store ready, etc. I do plan on doing some SEO work soon or maybe even hiring and agency to do it. For now, we just need to get selling. 🙂 BTW,,, we have gotten some pretty good exposure by exhibiting at CES and have won several awards. Our reputation is extremely important to us and we don't want to do anything that could tarnish our reputation, now or in the future. I look forward to all your thoughts and feedback. Cheers!

High DA Press Release Site
Hi Guys, So we have just received a message from Google confirming that we have an un-natural link profile. We are currently in the process of gathering all our links and going through them 1 by 1, at the moment I'm just stuck deciding if we should remove this link. It's a high profile PR site, its updated every day with quality news?? What do you guys think of this? Thanks, Scott

Duplicate Free Press Release Submission
I know that free press release sites don't always do the best job at getting ones relates out there, but I had a thought. What if I were to submit the same release to say, ten free press release sites? Would that it at least give me ten backlinks from those sites alone? They'd be good backlinks since I'll be able to have the desired anchor text. Is that just another version of article spinning, or is it a good strategy for getting the release out there as much as possible? I'd value any of your opinions.

Where/should I post my press release/articles on my own website?
I have started a long-term article marketing campaign and press release distribution. I will have about 4 articles and press releases in total every month. Although the press releases will not be self-promotional, sometimes they will be talking about a certain product that we unveil. The question is, due to the high quality of these press releases, should I put them on my website as well as publish them on third party websites? If so, because they target a specific service/product which we already have a dedicated page on our website, wouldn't that put Google in the position of choosing between the two pages? I was thinking to put them on my blog and link internally from there with the keywords that I target on those pages as anchor text. The same question for articles. Any suggestions?
