Use Online Press Releases To Build Legions of Links To Your Website

   

Did you know that you can significantly improve your overall search engine rankings with the help of an online press release? For those of you without a marketing background, let me explain the nature of a press release and how you can use this little known SEO technique to improve your search engine rankings.

The purpose of a press release is to communicate news or information to members of the news. Often times companies send out press releases to inform the media of a new product, service, or important change within their company. For nearly a decade, press releases are distributed via email or posted online. There are even online services that manage the posting and distribution process for you.

Many companies send out press releases to announce a new product, service, or event. The public relations industry has depended on press releases to both disseminate information as well as help cut through the clutter of millions of daily news stories. Reporters have come to rely on press releases as a way to sift through irrelevant stories and find actual news.

A press release is simple to create and follows a pretty standard format. Many releases include a date, headline, body, and company description. Online releases include the same information with an added feature, a link back to the company’s website. The challenge and opportunity with an online press release is to create a release that is newsworthy and finds itself being distributed across the web.

Over the last decade, hundreds of online press release websites have come online, helping reporters sift through these notifications and find the information they need. What does this mean to internet marketing? It means that there are sites that publish your news and are viewed by tens of thousands of people seeking targeted information daily.

If you have something to promote, then learning more about online press releases is where you want to focus your time. Not because of the news factor, but because with each release, you can include a link to your website. This adds a tremendous boost to your website rankings and improves as your releases become more common.

There are a few press release services out there, much like article directories that allow you to submit your release and include a link back to your website. Unlike article directories, many of these sites are not free. However, a small handful cost nothing, dozens charge less than twenty dollars and others will charge more.

When I want to build a large number of back links to my website in short order I always look to press release distribution. You can implement this simple strategy quickly and easily. It’s not hard to think of something newsworthy and over time it gets much easier to find something that will resonate with your target audience the media the cater to them.

I am comfortable with fees as long as I’m seeing the value. Some sites charge $300 for a release service but many more charge only a few dollars. The reality is that it doesn’t take much to put your SEO efforts into over drive using press release services. Do some research online and start sending out those releases. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results you get.
