    You are correct, no sales pitch, so it needs to be written in the correct format which any press release service will help you with.

    they are well worth doing as part of your over all marketing.

    no sales pitch for sure, you PR should be straight to the point, tell them what you have to offer, but no selling

    I'm an SEO wonk...check this out:

    1) go to the mothership directly (Google)
    2) type in:
    "your keyword" + site:prlog.org
    3) Look at titles/topics that might be a natural search phrase
    4) Go back directly to Google in a new window/tab
    5) Find which ones are ranking on Page 1 of Google

    6) develop a plan to replicate/match/beat

    Hope this helps motivate you to produce some worth content and publish it ...it works but honestly it is 'transitory' in some regards in comparison to article and video marketing....but should be a part of your overall strategy.

    S

    PS: Swap out the prlog.org with prweb.com and others to get an idea of how you can get infront of the Google train with these methods.

    press releases should always be to the point and FACTUAL.

    Social bookmark the press release once it is up there and build some quick backlinks to the press release URL. This will help your PR beat the top ranking sites for your keywords

    Press releases definitely help you a lot with rankings. Your press releases keeps getting picked by different websites and hence you keep getting more and more backlinks.

    If a press release is well written it can drive a lot of traffic plus give you some nice link juice from quality authority websites.

    Cheers
