What press release distribution service do use for UK?
-
Doing a piece on the royal wedding, what PR service should I use?
-
That's a nice list you've got there, I particularly liked the disclaimer about public relations at the top of the page ;-).
We're putting something together that's similar, but coming at it from a PR agency perspective rather than straight linkbuilding for SEO.
Well, the wedding's over so this may not help the OP directly, but could be useful for others:
- For tech clients we use sourcewire regularly (and find it works very well)
- For cheap, releases that still give half-decent links and get picked up by google news, we often use www.journalism.co.uk (which I didn't see on your list and costs about £30 for the basic service)
As a (slightly) amusing aside, we put an April Fool's blog post up about being appointed the PR agency for the royal wedding - would you believe we actually got a couple of enquiries from journalists asking us for information about it! I dread to think how many more enquiries we would have got had we used a wire.

Ive recently done the same for the wedding, and used PRnewswire. They have number of packages from £300 up to £2000 for video hosting. They were pretty good at getting in touch, explaining what they offer and feeding back.
I used the online US distribution package to try get the most backlinks, however was disappointed with the results (I got large numbers of links but all spammy). I would do a UK release next time and see if thats better
Otherwise I have alist of free PR sites here http://seobestpractice.org/Linkbuilding ordered by Pagerank
Overall no PR distribution has done that well for me in actually moving keyword rankings, Id be interested to hear how you get on and who you choose
EDIT: If you do pay for PR, make sure they have submissions to Yahoo, Google news etc

What advantages does Wisita (video hosting) give over using YouTube?
I am currently undertaking a review of how we use video on our website and I am wondering what advantages Wistia provides over using YouTube? My current stance is that we would use Wisita for our high-production value videos, and YouTube for videos embedded within our content pages so we can make use of the playlist functionality. If anyone can provide insight into this, I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance, Chris

Is there a way to set up a business Facebook page without linking it to a client's personal page or having to use our own employee's personal page?
Our clients want us to manage their FB pages. I need to know how we can do this without having to enter through the FB page of whomever set up the business account. I'm aware of the ability of the person who set up the Business page to allow admin access, but that too requires an our employee to give his or her personal FB info for this access. In the same vein, a former employee set up a client's FB page using his own personal account and now when we enter the client's business page, we do not have access to the search window and we don't have the ability to go to other pages to "like" other pages - the button doesn't even appear if we are signed in and search a FB page through an engine. We do have the ability to see Admin settings and metrics but we don't have the news feed, and we have other limited access/abilities. I would like to have a central access so neither client or our employee has to offer personal FB log in information. Thank you, Julie

Rel=author and rel=publisher - what to use?
Hi guys i have a big e-commerce website, we have put rel=publisher on our homepage and linked it up with our google + profile. We sell holidays and have a big resort guide full of quality content, do i need to put rel=publisher on those too? It doesn't seem right to put a personal author with a personal google + page on content as the author. Do i simply as a business page use rel=publisher instead? Any advice much appreciated, i find this confusing in all honesty on what benefits the most.

Using a Social Media Infrastructure
I just wanted to share a technique I have had a great deal of success with called a Social Media Infrastructure. It has really increased the amount of followers on all of the social media sites I have been using. The first link explains a Social Media Infrastructure and the second link is somebody using the social media infrastructure whom has implemented the technique much better. http://kylelacy.com/social-media-seo-social-media-infrastructure/ http://brianwong.com/blog/how-to-automate-your-blog-workflow-and-increase-your-search-engine-ranking/ It does take some time to get all set up correctly, but it has increased my followers a ton. I am not going to claim that it gives you all the links and as much SEO benefit as they claim, but it does give your social media some muscle.
