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.

What will the SECOND link from a site do for me
Say I have an opportunity to get another link from a high authority site that has already linked an important article from me (a page I REALLY want to rank well). Now a month later, they are interviewing me and asking what I'd like to link. I have plenty of good content I can offer, but I really want that page they already linked to to climb a bit in the rankings. So my question is, how is that second link best spent? Would linking to the same page give it a boost? Or does Google see it as "oh. Another link from the same domain. Yippee." Would that link do more for a different page on my site at this point?

Embedding an image from another site
I have developed some micro-sites for a client. The micro-sites are on their own root domain and are only associated, through links, with the client's main site. The client just added an infographic to their site and I want to embed it on the micro-sites. If I am going to embed the image on all the micro-sites that were developed do I need to use a rel canonical tag so it is not seen as duplicate content?

For a new site, does it matter which sites I get back links from first? I.e., are the first back links more important than later ones?
I've heard that when a site is new, the sources from which it gets its first back links are very important -- that the early links are more important for ranking than later links. Is this true. If so, what would be some good places to get these very first links? Thanks.

Which Directory Sites to Choose?
Hi All I am a newbie to SEO and have a quick Q. Assuming that appropriate steps would be to; a) Ensure all onsite matters are are correct, title tags, meta descriptions, redirects, canonical issues. b) Submit to Directories c) Build Links I am approaching step b) Which Directories are worth submitting to? For those which require payment, how can I decide which are value for money or should I just use SEOMOZ list of links and assume that theyre worth the $50 - $100 if my higher ranking competitors have links from these directories. Also, can this be looked opon as grey/black hat 'buying of links'? Thank you Sean www.pretavoir.co.uk
