Press Releases for SEO
In a couple of threads I have suggested that people who are looking to build up site traffic was to write press releases and publish them on your website, followed by tweeting about the press releases with a link to the press release. Microsoft recommends this and I have used it to some success. Has anyone else had any success with this tactic?

Makeuse of press release in the correct way to draw attention to your site on the web is one great way of going about the successful publicity of your site. Just make sure that the information you give throughout the press release must be newsworthy!
Absolutely agree. I recommend to my clients that they avoid putting our press releases for every little thing. Stick to new business wins, awards, and mentions in marketshare reports by independent sources. Also, announcements of major company news (mergers & acquisitions, major executive hires, individual awards for company personnel) are good topics also.
