Submitting Same Press Releases to Different Sites
-
Hi,
Is it a good idea to submit the same press release to many different press release web sites? if yes, how many a day?I haven't try this yet since i always use paid press releases submission
Like: Prweb.com and Prlog.org (Paid)
But this time i want to try 50 top free PR websites.
so i wandering if its good thing to do!
Thank You!

For easy niches? Yeah you could do it and it could get you to rank. For harder niches, I'd go with new content and stick with the big PR sites only. The free PR sites usually just scrape it off them anyways. Either that or they are just article directories dress up as "press release" sites.
BTW, Prlog ranks pretty well on it's own, it'll probably beat prweb in terms of referral traffic to you.

Short answer is no.
You should distribute a press release only when you really have to say something important. Moreover, you will have a better chance when your content is customized.
Also, I don't think that submitting it to many PR sites is a good idea. You can choose one of the top press release distribution sites, for example PRWeb, PRnewswire and submit your PR no more than once in a month.
And of course, there is a great blog post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/are-you-wasting-budget-with-online-press-release-distribution-14595

Press release sites don't pass a lot of link value, so don't spend too many resources on them. There probably are not 50 PR sites worth submitting to.
If you're simply trying to get link value from the press releases, I would concentrate on the highest domain authority ones, and write a unique release for each so that you have the best chance of the release being indexed and passing you link value.
Of course, the most effective use of press releases is to get actual press coverage from the news media, in which case contacting reporters directly, responding to requests on HARO, and sending in write-ups to newspaper tip lines will often work better than submitting an online press release.

Any help would be appreciated I am pretty new to all of this. thanks

Link on Every Wordpress Portion of My Site?
I have a website that is pretty popular with good SEO rankings. Part of the site is ran with Wordpress (homepage, articles and static content pages), another part is the forums using vBulletin (probably 75-80% of the pages on the site) and I also have a directory using another software. I have a new website and was going to add a link to it on my older site on the sidebar of Wordpress across all the Wordpress pages. Should I stay away from that or just put it on the homepage? The text is basically "Come check out the new {keyword} site at {SiteTitle}, by the founders of {OldSiteTitle}. I would have the keyword and sitetitle linked over to the new site. Would I be hurting either site by doing this or should it be looked at as a natural link as I do own both of the sites and want to let people know about the new site.

What multi directory submit services should one use?
ubl.org, getlisted.org, localeze.com (neustar now), yext.com ? They all have some overlap, but what is worth paying for? Can you cover 90% of the market with e.g. just Yext and ubl.org or?

Open Site Explorer
Open Site Explorer has a link profile for my web page twice. pensacolarealestate.com and www.pensacolarealestate.com/ I don't know if I am getting the link juice from the weaker of the two (pensacolarealestate.com). If I am not, I desperately need it. I am ranked 3rd on my SERP which I have always ranked 1st. I need to go back to one asap. Please help me guys 🙂 I need as much of an explanation to accomplish my goal as you can muster! Get this solved and I will be a subscriber after my free period (lol).

Simple Open Site Explorer Question
Does domain and page authority as listed in the Open Site Explorer mean that that site is relevant (content subject wise) or is domain/page authority separate from relevance? In other words, I'm less interested in getting an 81 domain authority link if it has nothing to do with my site's subject matter. Could someone please explain? I haven't yet found the answer. Thanks.

What to do with a new good looking site?
With a new site comes new challenges. We have recently finished one of our clients websites in the Retirement (financial) field. www.retirementireland.ie In my opinion the site is looking good, fast loading(very little js, optimized images) and good SEO structuring. As being a new site i feel like the decisions taken now are crucial. If SEO is done properly could save a lot of time. If not would take us a while until we get 1-5 positions for retirement, retirement options, retirement planning, retirement ireland. Any thoughts on existing design / structure / content. Any extra suggestions are welcome.
