Press Release SEO: The Importance of Relevant, Incoming Links

Writing by Brick Marketing on Saturday, 16 of February , 2008 at 11:55 am

When it comes to press release SEO, there’s one thing above all others that helps to improve the ranking of your site: relevant, incoming links.

Capture media attention
PRWeb - Press Releases That Work

When you publish press releases to online sites, you’ll find that a focus on the keywords that you use and the topic of your press release is important. Because sites like PRWEB have a solid reputation with the major search engines, you’ll find that the links back to your site from your press release help to get the word out about your site.

However, it’s more a matter of building links when others pick up the press release and republish it on their sites - either directly as it is written with the links that you’ve chosen or as the foundation for a story. When those sites are within your industry, from those sources that are well-established and well-respected in the online community and the business community, it helps to improve the quality of links coming into your site.

Incoming links have long been a part of SEO strategy; using your press releases to get them should also be a part of what you are doing to get your products, services and events noticed around the web. Press release SEO - focusing on keywords, relevant publishing, etc. - is an essential element of getting your site noticed.

Links back to your products and services - thanks to your press release SEO strategy - will only help to build the reputation that you have; and that can only help to improve your business overall.

Great article and great advice. One point I would like to make is what about free press release submission sites? Such as myfreepr.com There are quite a few out there, but for the most part I believe they offer a very valuable service. Many of them have syndicated their content to rss feeds, many help seo optimize your press release, many are sources for bloggers. The power with the seo optimized press release is getting the press release out on the web to bloggers, social network site ect.. Many of these free pr site perform this valuable service.
