Press releases for off-page SEO

iva · 11-09-2011, 09:12 AM

I have read many posts on this forum about importance of press releases for an overall off-page SEO strategy. Making a quick search query in Google I found a list of free PR sites (posted below). What PR sites do you prefer to use and why? Some of them do not allow backlinks w/o subscribing for a paid option. I guess, there is not much use of those. Anyway, what are you favorite PR sites to submit a press release. Thanks.

free-press-release – Pagerank 5 / Alexa 3,547 – Not a great looking site, but it has high traffic and a good Alexa ranking. Also, you can place your banners on the press release submitted, pointing to your site. Only the paid service has better ranking and SEO benefits. Easy press release distribution for free, more features for paid accounts.

PRLog.org – Pagerank 5 / Alexa 16,551 – Ordinary and functional looking website, but it delivers results. Free distribution to Google News and other search engines. Allows inbound links and is optimized well for the search engines. Press releases can be scheduled.

PR.com – Pagerank 5 / Alexa 27,482 - Fantastic domain name, disappointing website. Free basic service. Two paid options of $199 and $499. Paid options include a full company profile.

OpenPR.com – Pagerank 5 / Alexa 42,088 – Service based in Germany started in 2004. Free submission and distribution.

1888PressRelease.com – Pagerank 5/ Alexa 58,760 – Good Pagerank and reasonable traffic. They allow active links. Their paid services gives you better placement, image galleries and permanent archiving.

NewswireToday.com – Pagerank 5 / Alexa 51,449 – Very poorly designed site which is difficult to read and navigate. All the usual free distribution tools, premium service includes logo, product picture and more.

PR-Inside.com – Pagerank 4 / Alexa 17,995 – The main reason for including this service is it is one of the few PR distribution sites focused on Europe

24-7 PressRelease.com – Pagerank 4 / Alexa 46,460 - Free press release submission with limited distribution for the free service. They allow active links (Upgrade package $49).

EcommWire.com – Pagerank 4 / Alexa 107,600 - This fairly low traffic site is good for eCommerce related press releases. You can include an image, three keywords and a link with anchor text. OK.

TheOpenPress.com – Pagerank 4 / Alexa 64,691 - Gives free distribution for plain formatted releases. Charges for HTML-coded releases.

PressMethod.com - Pagerank 4 / Alexa 66,727 – Very ugly site, but appears to get reasonable traffic. Free press release distribution to limited list. Have additional paid-for services which are not worth the money.

Free-Press-Release-Center.info – Pagerank 3 / Alexa 56,516 – Nice, clean looking site. Pagerank likely to increase with current traffic levels. Enables PR submission and distribution. Includes one link with anchor text embedded in the article. Upgrading to Pro will give you three links, permanent archiving and more.

I-Newswire.com – Pagerank 3 / Alexa 69,619 - Free distribution to sites and search engines. Premium membership differs only slightly by adding in graphics.

WebWire is good. $24.95 and you can add five links to the body.

kochtgr · 11-09-2011, 01:00 PM

Great list, thanks for sharing

Lyanna · 11-09-2011, 08:41 PM

iva · 11-09-2011, 10:01 PM

Press Release submission site is an effective strategy to get maximum exposure of your site's product and services. In this method, our visitors and reader are well updated about the latest news in the site.

JasonB · 11-14-2011, 08:17 AM

Great List of sites... I actually use all of them, but I only have to submit to one Press Release site that then syndicates the PR to the rest of the list you have above..

Takes out an insane of time and allows me to do other things than having to submit to each of those sites.

Thanks!

Shirlyn · 11-14-2011, 08:23 AM

Yes, all PR sites are really good to generate traffic for any niche website.

John Romaine · 11-14-2011, 09:37 AM

None of those listed.

I use PRWeb and Webwire.

Ive had press releases bring in thousands of backlinks and was even featured once in Yahoo News, which definitely gave noticeable results.

linkbuildr · 11-14-2011, 09:42 AM

Decent but when Google see's the same news across tons of low quality news sites, those links will die out or devalue.

iva · 11-14-2011, 09:50 PM

Mind to share what site it is. Thanks.

PR Web is good but you need to have an interesting story to get get a good return for the $200 spent. I guess the biggest thing with the press releases is that you find sites that allow anchor text within the body. There is a WSO here which was offering some software to submit to a whole bunch of these sites (not affiliated in anyway). The sales page actually lists all the sites it submits to though, so theres no reason you couldn't pay an outsourcer to manually submit spun versions of your press release to each one of these.

pmsbuildtechconstruction · 11-15-2011, 01:58 AM

Press Release are best source of back links generation and top of the all keywords in search engine.

Paul in Waterford · 11-15-2011, 04:52 AM

For long term SEO, a variety of tools + time (it does not happen over night) are the answer
