Good PR Distrobution Services?
-
Are there press release distribution services that you Mozzers would recommend? I see a lot of, "don't use this service, this service or this service", but I rarely see anything touting good PR release services.
Followup Question: Are these services still effective after Penguin? I am being much more careful about anchor text (inserting a lot of branded or phrase match instead of just head terms). Are there other ways to be effective but also cautious when using these services?
Thanks for your help!

Ahh I see now! I was just reading that incorrectly. I thought the author was referring to those distribution services as the "standard newswire services". Thanks again!

I read it a few days ago and I don't disagree with anything in it.
They actually state that PRWeb among the others IS one of those "higher end distribution" service providers that you should be using rather than those free (or cheap) ones that little or no humans will ever read.

Thanks for the input Klarke. Am I reading to heavily into this write up? http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2194404/Can-the-SEO-PR-Love-Affair-Survive-After-Panda-Penguin
They mention that it is better to use higher end distribution services over standard newswire services like PRWeb. Based on your recommendation, I am assuming that you don't agree with that statement?

1. only do it if you have something really newsworthy to publish. Otherwise, you're wasting your money.
2. don't even try to include a bunch of targeted anchor text everywhere possible. Less links the better. The point of the press release isn't to get links from press release sites.

Domain Buying Service
I am looking for a service that handles clients who want to purchase domains that are owned and in use and someone wants to purchase them incognito. Does anyone know of (preferably have experience with) a service that will handle this type of domain purchase activity. An example would be if I knew of moz.com but wanted to buy it because I had invented a Moz machine that was worth zillions. I only want the .com and I do not want the owner to know who is purchasing.

Is it a good idea to participate in review / giveaway bloggers
Hi, I sell Gift Baskets for children and the best customers are Moms. Is it a good idea to participate in review / giveaway mom bloggers? The way it works I give the blogger a product to review. They write their true experience with the Gift Basket and they link to my site Then we do a few product giveaway to moms / (bloggers subscriber) once a month. Then moms will review the winning products. To participate in drawing moms will visit my site, follow my tweeter. Like or dislike me on Facebook……. For each action they do they will get one extra chance on drawing. In here I will get few links to different page of the site. Are these links are good links? I am not paying cash to buy the link. But I give them product to review and they get to keep it. Simply Sassy Media at http://simplysassymedia.com/ is a good example. they manage and connect me to a lot of the blogger sites.

Should I submit my articles to article submition sites myself or have a service submit my articles for me?
It seems that articles I've written about the transmission industry and submitted aren't being noticed by Google. The sites I've submitted them to were free sites, so my question is should I pay to submit them, or pay a service to submit them for me? Or, should I just continue to submit them myself to as high a ranking site as I can find?

Working with a PR agency
Just wondering if anyone had any advice on working with a client's PR agency to maximise your efforts for them online? A lot of their work will transfer really well online, however, I'm worried if we barge in their they may see us as stepping on their toes and feel a bit threatened... Has anyone had any experience combining efforts with a PR agency in the past and how have you achieved success? I think it will be key to get them on board so we're both pulling in the same direction, it's just finding the right way of going about this without alienating them...
