Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for taking the time to respond guys.  Greatly appreciated.  Seriously.

I think one thing I run into, the SEO side of the business is so incredibly important, but running the actual business doesn't exactly allow me to focus on it the way I might like.  It's nice to get some reassuring voices saying that yes, this is something that is going to help over the long term.

I really do appreciate you all taking the time to reply.

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?
