Writing A Press Release For Seo And Traffic
February 152011
Press releases have done great things for celebrities, new companies, old companies, and even politicians throughout the age of paper and ink. These press releases sent out information in a controlled and positive manner to make the person or company look his best. This same concept is now being applied to the digital world, and his having some great effects. I have written this page to give you more details on press releases and how they can bring you more visitors.
A press release is basically an advertisement or announcement letting the world know more about you, your product, your service, or your company. This statement can be written by you or a professional writer.
Many professional seo packages will offer to write and distribute a well crafted press release for you. If you do decide to go with the professional route, just make sure you give them some guidance on what you would like promoted. The press release written on the product you are not selling anymore will not help you.
When writing these announcements yourself, make sure you clearly identify what you are trying to accomplish with your press release before starting. Once you’ve identified what you want to gain, it will be much easier to craft your release in a way that captures it.
Seo purposes should be considered when identifying your objectives. Choose two or three keywords that you will want to target for the release. Remember that these releases may end up going to thousands of other sites and RSS feeds. These press releases may also be picked up by other web masters to place on their websites. You’ll want to capitalize on all of this exposure by maximizing your keyword instances on the web.
The next area you will want to decide on is where you will be submitting your release. You will want to submit it to as many places as you possibly can. The more exposure you get, the better. This can be done through the many free press release sites, through the payed press release sites, or both.
Ensuring that you make use of the correct key words is the most critical part of the release. Sites that do not let you put your link in html form will be a waste of time as far as link building goes. Ensure that your submissions include an active hyper link using your specific key word anchor text. Using keywords will help with your pageranking and search engine optimization strategies.
Press releases can be a very powerful tool in your seo tool box. Ensure that you use them wisely and your sites will benefit tremendously. However, use them foolishly and you will end up wasting time without providing any value to you or your readers.

Anne Kennedy, Beyond Ink, interviews Chris Boggs, Rosetta, and SEMPO president, at SES Chicago 2010 on the subject of holistic SEM. Chris says when it comes to deploying content across the Internet, it is very important for a brand to consider content as including not just text but images, video, graphics, etc…Chris uses the analogy of the marines as a “forward deployed force.” If you have nodes of content that mention your brand, or your category in connection with your brand that exist elsewhere on the Internet, whether or not it includes links, the SERPs will take notice. Chris says instead of taking one piece of content and syndicating it across thousands of pages across the web, he recommends taking ten thousand unique pieces of content and syndicate them across one page each. You don’t want content to outrank your own brand. Chris also says if a community is strongly enough connected to a specific authority or subject, they may gain authority and be able to pass an additional value. Chris says he believes that ‘likes’ will never replace links in terms of authority. Chris also wants to see SEMPO as being one of the main voices of a united search marketing front.
