Hey Jane, a little off base here. Let me try and help.
Can you say which search terms you are going after? If you can drop them in the post (or PM me) then we can look how difficult they are, look at your site and
Really, I would look at doing this with some content. It seems like you know why this is a better machine, start talking about it online. If there are some kind of tanning communities or other blogs, see if you can network with some people and do some guest posting to generate some better links with more longevity.
Honestly, it all depends on how competitive it is for the keywords you are after but a few high quality links, some focused service type landing pages and some content articles to try and go after the larger slice of search than just dry transactional queries will all help.
If you blog about tanning, share your knowledge, use twitter to network and reach out to lots of other tan / beauty related blogs and see if you can guest post. Identify some targets, add comments, get friendly with folks, let them see your amazing blog, then ask if you can guest post. You would be surprised how easy this can be and if your competition are just doing the same tired old stuff then... you will see results from this.
PRWeb - meh, can be okay, but for what you want to do, you may be better writing content for your own site and networking with other bloggers. If you are small as well, a few quality directories, maybe there are some vertical directories? Maybe there is a tanning community where you can share some knowledge, make some more contacts etc.
Hope that helps!

In an easy answer yes they are helpful but they don't like you spam links so be smart about it. And what you are trying to accomplish

Hello Marcus,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I am new on here and want to try and understand better.
I have a tanning salon and have just gotten a new spray tan booth that is a bit different than most as its open concept so the client does not breath in the over spray. in my opinion its a little safer than most spray tan machines.
I want to get my spray tan page ranked #1 in my small city low competition, and thought the press release would generate enough links and exposure to get that done.
In general will the live links on the press release hosted on pr webs site help in this regard ?
Or does the press release have to be linked to by others to get the value ?
or am I totally way off base ?

As with anything like this, if you are spamming out some press releases to generate some easy links, don't bother. The links won't do much and they will sink from site in an internet minute.
If you are using PRWeb to generate some exposure for something that is kind of cool, and that people may actually link to outside of PRWeb then it can have some merit.
So, to answer your question, yes and no. Yes if you use it as a tool for exposure, no if you use it for a tool to generate 'easy' links.
Hope this helps!
Marcus

New link explorer
I was checking this new tool which is really cool by the way and was wondering if I can outrank big guys with just content. I have a Domain authority of 28 with a spam score of 28 % Can I outrank with amazing content a site that hase a domain authority of 50 and a spam score of 1 % ? Should I ask for all my bad links to be removed so that my spam score goes down or doesn't it matter anymore those days and what matters is good content, link just don't count anymore ? Thank you,

Link Resolvers, Academic Publishing, and SEO Visibility
I have recently started working at an academic publisher on their digital products. In this industry it's standard practice to use link resolvers - such as SFX from ExLibris - when updating a product as an easy way to manage URL migration. However, these link resolvers appear to use 302 redirects which makes me concerned about the potential for rankings to drop. Does anybody out there know about the use of link resolvers and their effects on search engine visibility? The main sources of information I've been able to find so far have been a Google Webmaster Central forum post and a piece on DOI news from 2005. Any information that's more up to date would be very useful, thanks!

Duplicate Meta Descriptions in Press Releases
We have a client that does multiple press releases a year. One issue we noticed is that every press release has the same meta description tag and the duplicates are starting to really add up. Unfortunately the client does not want to create specialized meta descriptions for new press releases due to legal restrictions (every new meta description must be reviewed). What should we do about this?

Domain Forwarding for SEO
Hey guys, I recently created a new website for a client who was ranking #1 for the term "jupiter obgyn" but they have now dropped down to #4. This happened because their old home page was at www. instead of just jupiterobgyn.com. When you type in the www. version, it does take you to the root domain but it's not carrying the old PA! The www. version of the page had a 22 PA and the new root domain hosted page is a 1. How can I fix it so that "link juice" carries over? Is this something i need to do in 1and1 (their web host) or within Wordpress? Thanks!!!

Video SEO
Hello All! I'm wondering about the best way to link build and carry on my video trend. I love to create video's with all of my articles as I feel it adds an extra element to just boring old text! The problem is that my current 25 links from Youtube are all NoFollow. This didn't originally bother me, but it's starting too. Is there a couple of websites that I could upload my article/ video to and gain a link from in a similar manner? Come to think of it, is this a good SEO tactic to use?

Mobile SEO
Hey, In the following article, Google recommended using a 301 redirect but doesn't specify why. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-friendly.html I assume this is to pass over link equity to the relevant mobile/desktop variation. Can anyone confirm this? Also is there any other reason? Again assuming this would keep the correct URLs in the correct index? Anything else anyone can chip in would be great. Thanks

I currently have a client that has multiple domains for multiple brands that share the same IP Address. Will link juice be passed along to the different sites when they link to one another or will it simply be considered internal linking?
I have 7 brands that are owned by the same company, each with their own domain. The brands work together to form products that are then sold to the consumer although there is not a e-commerce aspect to any of the sites. I am looking to create a modified link wheel between the sites, but didn't know if my efforts would pay off due to the same IP Address for all the sites. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
