Online Press Release Frequency

Writing and submitting online press releases can help to drive surf through traffic and build links to assist in other online marketing campaigns. By providing newsworthy stories that are topical, relevant, and geared towards the type of content that your website provides it is possible to generate very good traffic as well as build brand awareness using online press releases.

Determining how often to write press releases can be a tricky business and setting a specific timeline isn't necessarily the best approach. The key to a good online press release is the topic of the release itself. By setting a weekly deadline it can mean using a less than ideal topic one week while missing out on other topics during busy weeks. Setting a regular target is certainly a viable option but taking advantage of news stories and writing online press releases about your own company is often the best tactic.

In general terms, there is no such thing as too many press releases, presuming that you have the content to fill them. Many sites benefit from submitting online press releases roughly every week, while others post monthly or more frequently.

Online press releases alone are unlikely to yield ground breaking results but they can really boost brand awareness and with a consolidated campaign they can continue to build links and generate traffic especially if written on a popular topic and published by major news sites and sites within your industry. Consider them a part of your online marketing mix and you will benefit from the effort.
