Does PRWEB worth anything to us?

Hey guys,

I've recently launched a new site and was wondering for one promotion strategy about the Premium package of PRWeb. It costs $369 which is not cheap but your post will be published among big news sites such as The New York Times, USA Today and others, is that true?

And even if so, I read that Matt Cutts said links from PRWeb are worth nothing, so this applies even if the post comes from the USA Today site by PRWeb?

How about traffic? If not link worth, can it bring traffic to the site and how much of it?

Would appreciate your insights in this matter before I go and blow my money away

Thanks guys!

    Hi rinor81, we've been using prweb for 2 years now and we're happy with this press release distribution service.

    Several things to have in mind to avoid wrong expectations:

    1. Don't do press releases for SEO. That's kind of missing the sight of big picture. Write press releases because you have brand updates to share and you want attention of target audience and journalists that write in your niche.

    2. Don't think that every press release will land on USA Today and New York times. Very few do.

    3. Don't spam your press release with keyword-rich anchors.

    4. To evaluate the exposure you can get, take a prweb premium PR of your competitor and check on which sites it finally landed.
