With such a big and varied audience out there, companies should be
taking advantage of press releases. A press release service can direct
the story writing to any number of potential types of readers.
-
Press releases written mainly for search engines have become very
prevalent, and even common-place. Many companies have realized that
distributing press releases strictly for search engine optimization can
have a positive effect on search page rankings.
A good press
release service can write a professional release, with timely and
interesting information, and then see that it gets proper distribution
to the necessary search engines.
Back-links can be easily created
by using several anchor text links, images, and videos in the release.
This is a key to boosting a company's presence with the leading search
engines.
A word of caution: some press release writers are
basically producing articles rather than a release. They are then
distributed via free press release services. Although some of these
services are better than others, a press release may have very little
SEO effect going this route.
- Affiliates can be a great target to
write a press release for. Who better to keep informed about product
changes or releases than those who benefit greatly from them. Businesses
who keep affiliates up-dated increase their chances of greater
promotion of their products.
- Consumers should always be kept
clearly in mind when planning and writing a press release. Loyal
customers definitely like to be kept in the loop. Companies need to be
fully aware of how consumers are searching for the products online
(keywords searched) and work those into the release.
When stories
are written that address customer's issues, even more interest is
raised. A press release can be effective by being informational and
newsworthy, and should not become a blatant advertisement.
-
Targeting online influencers such as bloggers, podcasters, and social
networking gurus can also be a great way to spread a message and garner
additional customers. This is known as capitalizing on the new media.
Once
it's determined which of these is interested in a particular company's
niche, and a relationship has been established, the domino effect of
this utilization can be huge. A loyal and large following can be gained
when using an interesting and helpful press release sent through this
form of media.
- During this era of the internet, it's easy to
overlook distributing press releases to the traditional media. However,
there is still great potential with these if a company's story is picked
up by local and national newspapers, television and radio. They are
always seeking human-interest stories or information about a product
that takes care of problems.
It's important for companies seeking a
press release service to completely understand the purpose of their
press release. If increasing SEO potential is the main goal, they should
go one direction. But if they're looking to get the word out to the
masses, then their distribution considerations should be wider and their
budgets expanded.
