FYI, press releases aren't very good for SEO. You might get a few links out of it. You might get someone interested in your content. But the ROI is way to low and the SEO effects are either zero or so small it can't be measured.

On the other hand press releases are an essential tool of marketing! The main aim of a pr is to announce your site/ product - they should be aimed directly at your target audience/ customers. So they should definitly be newsworthy - not just blah blah new product but - this revolutionary new cleaning product is based on years of careful research etc. You have to compete with a lot of other people doing the same thing!

I would always go direct to the mainstream press or magazines which ever is the most appropritate for your area - ie Estates Gazette for real estate etc. plus the online agencies etc but these carry far less weight. Good luck

Yah! right Press release is a Marketing tool.. However if used efficiently then it is one of strong tool for building back link from good authoritative sites...

Thats what we all want in SEO

Yea! Press Release are for marketing. For spreading the name of your products or services. Don't forget a authentic news can bring million dollars customers.

Every work for an website cannot be calculated in terms of SEO activities.

Press releases are great for generating traffic and backlinks. I just finished a press release for a new site that I recently posted, and as usual, I pulled in a lot of sales and traffic just from the press release promotion. This time around, I actually tracked the conversion rate for the press release traffic and it was a whopping 76%!! So not only are press releases a great source of traffic, but they are also a great source of TARGETED traffic.

Some of my older websites and client sites still get strong relevant backlinks from old press releases that are archived. This can be a bit tricky though because most presses won't let you work backlinks into your release, or supply a backlink at all, unless you pay for them. Definitely worth doing though...

We use ukprwire.com as well as pressbox.co.uk

using ukprwire has got our articles into google news and we have found that the number of searches made on our company name has gone up since we started the whole pr thing.
