Press Relases as Link Building is valid?
-
Dear Mates,
We are looking for increase our Domain Authority, so we was submitting our site to BOW, Yahoo Directory and we want to know if Press Releases sites (paid press) are too good to do the inversion.
What sites are recommended, we think could be very usefull build a list of the real top PR sites (Paid and Free)
Thank you for your time

Actually, one aspect that we forgot to mention was that the real link value is not from the press release. The real value is if any of the online blogs or newspapers picks up the story and runs it, hopefully with a link.
http://www.prweb.com/ is said to reach many "real" writers. Have not used it myself though.
If you use it, please share your experiences.

I think its hard to say exactly what is the ONE best site for this. It also depends on what kind of products you have.
One of the biggest problems is that your press release lives for a very short time on for example a frontpage. Then where does it go? Does it have a dedicated URL?
We have been using www.mynewsdesk.com, there you get your profile page and that has time to collect some pagrank. You can see the below example of one of our clients:
http://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/pressroom/lmg
If you have a look at that in OpenSiteExplorer you can se that the pagerank is atleast decent.

PRweb & if money isn't really the issue, go with BusinessWire. The PRweb.com link itself will probably be the most valuable from a PRWeb release though, unless you get picked up outside of the typical syndication network. BusinessWire works the same way, but has a better professional image.
If you have the money and do not have newsworthy announcements, look into facilitating an outreach campaign or buying some friendships of authoritative sites within your industry. Donating to relevant foundations, sponsoring local events (with websites) and work harder to get known online, digitally within your industry online.
There are tools & strategies that will help you identify the resource-related authority sites within your industry too.

The main idea is to increase the Domain Authority (the budget is not the problem),
So what is the best or most trusted resourced to submit PR and get great authority?

Hi Claudio
Some PR sites are great and some not so great. You have to check the domain and pagerank of the page where your release will be posted. Will it also rotate and be shown on frontpage? How long? Also make sure you have proper links back to your landingpage and make sure they are not put as nofollow.
You can use www.opensiteexplorer.org to investigate the pageranks etc
Here is also a list of free PR sites:
- Free-Press-Release.com
- PRLog.org
- ClickPress.com
- NewswireToday.com
- Express-Press-Release.net
- Free-Press-Release-Center.info
- TheOpenPress.com
- PressMethod.com
- PressBox.co.uk
- BusinessServicesuk
Good luck
Fredrik

What should be the step after building links?
Hello, I regularly build links and save them in excel file. But I don't know what should I do after building them? Should I ping them? Share on social media or leave until they are not indexed? thanks

Spam Link Building Discovered - What would you do?
Hi Mozers, After investigating our no 1 competitor we have discovered their 87k back links comparing to ours 1k. After dipper investigations we discovered that all the back links are gained by the websites created by themselves. So what they did is - they had purchased 10+ domains and created 10+ new websites that are identical as their original .com version. EVERY SINGLE LINK on these 'new' websites link to their .com version. The 'New' websites are not indexed. Literally each of us can do the same and gain thousands of back links, but isn't it violating google's policy? What are your thought on it? (What is the best practice to report the violation of google's policy to Google?) Best regards, Lana

Stop Building Links During Reconsideration Request?
We had a message in webmaster tools to say our site had 'unnatural links' pointing towards it. I investigated and found a number of sites where we had uploaded articles, containing links, had been de-indexed. As such we have suffered a few drops in rankings. I have submitted a reconsideration request and I'd like to get on with recovering any lost ground. However, I am wondering whether it's best to cease any link building activity whilst the reconsideration request is processed. Please do let me know your thoughts and experiences on continuing to build links after submitting a reconsideration request.

Primary link building for new clients, where do you go first?
When starting out with a new client, where do you look first to build links for that client? I have a lot of close friends who have small businesses with not a very huge budget for SEO and I'm trying to wrap my head around how to do a significant amount of quality link building without breaking the bank. Any suggestions? My list so far is: Friends / Family of the client.

Link Building....confused!
Hi Guys, I'm after some advise please. We have a client who offers self catering accommodation to let on his website. We are looking at ways to increase links to his site and one idea we had was to possibly affiliate ourselves with local companies within the areas of the specific accommodation. Our client is looking to partner with local business's in each area of said accommodation (probably two of each kind) and then send the details of these business' with whatever special deals they will offer customers on every confirmation that goes out to the clients. Obviously, in return, these business' will then link to Room-B. What I'm trying to find out is if linking to partners via an email delivered from thewebsite is safe in terms of link juice: it's important that Google doesn't index any outbound links to partners from us at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
