Online Press Releases Can Boost Traffic
December 16th, 2009 by Susie
Writing an online press release and posting it is something that even the smallest company can do for their marketing campaign. It's so incredibly easy and cost-effective that it's hard to understand why press releases aren't more prevalent all over the web.
It may have something to do with the connection between press releases and old-fashioned marketing techniques. A press release isn't something most companies necessarily associate with internet marketing, which tends to be multi-dimensional and vibrant. Yet a properly search engine optimised press release can do the world of good for a tiny fraction of the price of most marketing techniques.
The important thing to remember here is 'optimised'. Press releases have always been used to push terms and ideas associated with a campaign. The difference between old-fashioned press releases and online press releases is that the terms come from the outside, in the searches of your potential readers.
In order to do well, an online press release needs to have at least two things in its favour. It needs to have a point to make and it also needs to be crafted well. These can be difficult things to achieve. Not every business has objectively exciting news every month, and not many can keep a good copywriter on board. Getting a professional involved can solve both of these problems.
When designing your press release, include your website's keywords, brand identity and links in mind to drive traffic to your site. Posted in the right areas, our online press releases from SEO Consult can add inbound links and boost your traffic for months to come.

This is a great article, most PR websites charge but only a small few get your PR onto google news so I have lost some money before I learned more about what websites really work.
This is a great informative article.
