The Power of Press Releases

Generate Buzz about Your Products and Services on the Search Engines

Why press releases are critical to increasing traffic to your website. How press releases can help you dominate the search engines with important keyword phrases. Tips to maximize the effectiveness of your press releases.

The Internet has drastically changed the landscape of news writing and given small businesses more control than ever before. You get to decide what's newsworthy about your products or services, and write about them - a new product launch, announcement of new service, website launch, or other items of interest.

Not only will press releases create buzz about your business, but they are highly effective strategy to winning the search engine game. We have seen some Google searches where the top 10 results were all press releases.

The reason for this search-engine success is, just like an article, a press release is its own web page. One press release can show up on a thousand different news sites. Any of these sites can show up on Google or any other search engine when someone uses keywords that are also found in the press release. That is why it is important to include targeted keywords in your press releases. By also adding your website link to each press release that you write, you are creating instant link popularity for your website.

Tips for Success

Add keywords to all of your press releases in order to increase their chances of being found by the search engines. Try to get press releases distributed on a regular basis. At a minimum, write ans submit one press release each quarter. Always include a link to your website from your press releases. Before you release the press release over the wire, make sure to publish it on your website as well for double the impact. Not only is this smart for optimization purposes, it is good PR strategy as well. A good resource for press release distribution is prweb.com
