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.

I really thank you for your valuable info. It could also be used very easily. I have a small doubt in this. Whether Product Addition and Discount Offers could also be given as a link in this Press Release. If that is okay, I would do it to my advantage. It would both serve as an internal link as well as the news for our customers.

Thanks again.

You can use same technique with the Article also. Once you post an article, you can share it to your social networking sites e.g. twitter, facebook etc. This helps to get visitors to your article.

I think you can use press releases only when you have a real product to advertise. It will expand your market and probably will increase the sales of your products.
