Hi Moosa,
thank you for the good answer...
You said - Use it for users not for Search Engines!Then what type of links would you use for search engines...

I don’t see much problem with PR Web other then the fact that you have to be careful about adding links in the Press Release. Actually you only should use PR Web when you want masses to update about your product or service but for SEO purposes it’s of ZERO value from now!
If you think adding a link in the PR is important for visitors then make it no follow otherwise just eliminate the link and let people know about the update you have!
Remember: Use it for users not for Search Engines!

Recent discussion in SERountable here . The opinion is that all links in press releases should be no followed.

I too would like to know what people's opinions are with press release sites like prweb. I have a competitor that has a high authority dofollow link via prweb, and it seems to have worked for them.
I guess the risk is whilst a prweb link may be good, you don't know which spammy sites will pick up that press release and republish it on their site.
But, yeh, would also love to hear what people have to say on this.

Content From a Large Guide that will be released in sections
Hey Mozzers, Please Help! My new client has a blogger who is writing a multi-part series for them and releasing one part each week. Each part is about 500 words. I know that longer, in depth content generally provides better user signals like "dwell time" and even social shares....but i have to balance this with the fact that the client wants to publish one new post a week for SEO and to give users a reason to come back to the website. Should i just wait a while and combine the posts, using a 301 to redirect all the small posts to the big one? Thanks in advance, Nails

Looking to increase the quality of our backlinks with a press release: Business wire or Prweb?
Hello all! We are looking to increase the quality of backlinks to our new website www.unitedfitnessmarketing.com and wondering which service would be more beneficial. Care to share any preferences or advice? We have been live for about 3 1/2 months now. We are in a tough niche to find related backlinking websites. We are in the health club marketing consulting field. I just paid for a business.com listing but was thinking a quality press release would give me more juice. My competitors have used free press release services so I'm thinking I could easily one-up them and gain some ground in the rankings. Leaning more towards business wire b/c it's a berkshire hathaway company but would like more input. Thanks!

Press Release Question.
We do many Press Releases for many clients and it is recommended to have an about us at the bottom of each Press Release... If we have 200 words at the bottom of each Press Release that we submit to PRWeb should we change them up so they look unique? Will this be considered duplicate content if we leave the bottom section of our PR's identical?

Press Release and Duplicate Content
Hello folks, We have been using Press Releases to promote our clients business for a couple of years and we have seen great results in referral traffic and SEO wise. Recently one of our clients requested us to publish the PR on their website as well as blast it out using PRWeb and Marketwire. I think that this is not going to be a duplicate content issue for our client's website since I believe that Google can recognize which content has been published first, but I will be more than happy to get some of the Moz community opinions. Thank you

Is it safe to publish 3 paid press releases in a single day?
Is it a safe bet to publish 3 PAID press releases (on PRleap.com) on the same website on the same day, each having about 10 links to different pages of the same website? I mean... will search engines spot something fishy is going out there?
