Like any other method for getting traffic (except a few like JV or solo mailings or paid traffic) it is a build it and work it system. You can't put up one press release and expect a lot of traffic. Instead, build up a system of putting out a press release every couple of weeks with new information, on legitimate PR sites and watch for converting traffic to come your way.

It won't matter how many people come to your site if they don't convert - optin or purchase or whatever you want them to do. Press releases can be a nice source of trickle traffic over time that just keeps giving.

Thanks for your help and advice guyz. I have a sales funnel set up, and I need to send traffic to my squeeze page. Can I use Press Releases to directly send traffic to my squeeze page?

Thanks

in my experience, a good and reliable PR service will only allow 2 URL's since most respectable PR distribution sites only allow 1 url in the body of the article and one more in the "writer's credit" section. It's rarely possible to put in three links and I've never heard of a site that allows five url's in one PR article, not to mention the fact that it will significantly lower the link-juice's power...
One service I've worked with in the past and can recommend is bringthepress [dot] com (they won't promise you the moon and stars - but they will deliver what they promise..)
That said, I've been working with press releases for the last year now and I have to tell you, I think you are going wrong about this.
Press releases are good for building authority and prestige for any site but i think it's kind of wasted on a squeeze page...
If you want traffic to a squeeze page, all you need is one or two quality guest blog posts in site/s related to your squeeze page's topic. You can try guestbloggingempire [dot] com for that. Again, worked with them in the past.
Any way, if you do end up getting a press release article for your squeeze page, I would appreciate very much if you could update the threde on what effect [if any] this move made.

Hi Linda,

I disagree...

Your suggestion on using blog articles to optin pages is essentially no different then using press releases - because both are sources of traffic.

The question becomes how are you gearing your press releases to generate traffic to your optin page?

If you send your readers to an optin page and you weren't honest with your intent then of course a PR is going to fail giving you valid traffic that will optin and follow into your funnel.

For example, if you are promising a free widget and they find they need to optin to get it, then that's not really "free"

As another example, if you tell your audience about your product but don't outright state that for one reason or another they need to optin to get access to it, then NO you are not necessarily being straight forward your traffic to follow your lead into your funnel

Best of Luck,

Justin

Press Release is a great way to build traffic to your product/site. I have known a Hong Kong company using Press Release ALONE to build a now, multi-million dollar turnover. They are in the Apps industry specializing in Stock alerts. Crazy right!

I agree with Big Mike, most PR companies do allow multiple anchored text links. Some impose a limit or you get it during editorial review to prevent the occasional link spam they may get. Links are what fuels the web, they don't stop this if it's reasonable. Do bear in mind that the Press Release newswire and media archives are mostly still in full-text environment, so most links are stripped. It's recommended that if you run a PR, don't forget to add a native URL.

I have a pretty long post about newswire services, don't want to repost the same information by you can check out this reply of mine.

Hope this helps.

Daniel

Webwire paid press releases are very good. You need a newsworthy piece though or you won't generate the desired traffic. Here are several writing tips- How to Write a Press Release?

Yes, I have tried press releases before and they work like a charm.

Use your desired keywords in the headline and through out the text.

Create a "newsworthy" story. That means you can not just say "buy this now...".

If you do it right you can easily make some money with this.

It is easy, does not cost much and it works fast.

Here is an article that describes which free press release services are the best:

Press releases are good and they do work. I recommend PRweb, PRlog, and "free-press-releases" (with dot com at the end). PRweb will get you the best results though... yet they're kinda expensive. But worth it.

A good quality press release, well distributed is a proven means of reaching out to the people. Press release, however, are more effective to the overall scheme of things in traffic generation if done in combo with other methods. Periodic releases of news about your company results in improved results. Hope it helps. If you need any further assistance, feel free to get in touch.

if you are thinking to do press release to get traffic then it is good but only press release is not good for generate traffic you have to do some other off page seo activity like forums and directory or article submission.

This makes interesting reading (and it discusses press releases partly in SEO terms - not their primary purpose at all, of course! - as well as in terms of traffic considerations): Press Release Service Comparison - PRLog.com and Webwire. What Kind of Results Can We Expect?

Press Release is one of the best ways to drive massive traffic your site, I would highly recommend you go with it; but also be very selective when you choose press release site to submit your content to it.

best of luck
