How to Handle Press Releases for Multi National Sites
-
Hello Moz Community,
We are currently in the process of launching new ccTLDs. We need to know how to handle this from a press release perspective.
Scenario: If we have a global press release, should we release a version for each one of our TLD's within the wires? Or how should this be handled.
Thank you,
Valerie MacDonald

I think most of the major media markets would have distribution in both, so there's a good possibility that the UK PRs would indeed "bleed."

Thank you Brian. I agree that one release per language should work.
We are launching for UK and AUS. If we have a press release that is UK specific, should we be using PR sites like Market wire and be confident that there wont be bleeding into other markets?
Thank you

Are the ccTLDs in countries of origin not in English? In that case I would absolutely spend the extra money to get each PR translated, and send to news outlets in the target language with the featured ccTLD.
But to save money, if they're monophone, I would bundle as many same-language TLDs into one press release. Also, imagine you're a news editor and you see this:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.SE LAUNCHES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.DE LAUNCHES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.CZ LAUNCHES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** EXAMPLE.CM LAUNCHESNothing will get you into the roundfile faster than such a barrage. Less is more. If there are multiple language audiences/recipients, that's different.

Is it better to have micro-sites with good content or redirect domains?
I have a domain with a lot of content and it is an eCommerce site. I've just been told that we have another 12 domains that are inactive and do not redirect. I don't know what to do with them as they haven't been used for ages and do not direct or have any content (max of a DA or 4). Therefore which is better for SEO? To have really good content with perhaps a few regular blog posts on each of the 12 domains, or to redirect all of the domains to the one main domain? I would take 1 domain and put a lot of content on and optimise is.. spending a few weeks on one and then move onto another, all while posting on each blog on each domain. Thank you for any help! 🙂

Free tool which includes a link back to my site
On one of my sites I provide a free tool to other webmasters to use that allows them to copy some code to use the free tool on their website and under the tool on it says "Powered by: mysite.co.uk" with a link to "mysite.co.uk". Now I have no real control over which sites can come and use this free tool (a tool to test how fast an internet connection is), on the whole though it is aimed at a specific niche but a range of sites do use it which means good or crap sites can pick up the free code to place into their sites. The link to mysite.co.uk is now always mysite.co.uk as the anchor text, I used to use the websites name (which is the actual name of the URL - link to site at end of post) so the links were keyword rich but only to my sites genuine name, however I now just leave it as the URL to my site. I am not aiming to do anything untowards with the linking other than to get the acknowledgement that it was provided for free by my site, however I'm wondering if google etc will be able to tell they are natural and not dodgy? My site is: http://bit.ly/MsNQwS (n.b. a new improved test is being created before anyone says it's not accurate). 🙂

What are Best Practices for Ault Site SEO
Has anyone here had experience doing SEO for an Adult DVD website? A company has approached me and they obviously only want White Hat practices. I have used open site explorer to do research on some competitors. The top competitors of this company seem to have only a few high PR links from High Authority industry sites and almost all have a link from the Yahoo Directory. Does anyone know where or how to create high authority content links from this niche? It seems that most of the competitor links are on sub par pages and are single links in the side nav of other sites. I am not sure if I can post a link to the company here but any suggestions on link building for adult sites would be great. Please remember they are a retailer and don't have pop up advertising or any illegal content. Thanks,

Back linking to t foreign sites
One of our major competitors seems to be linking to an Asian speaking website that has a blog/product review formant. I was wondering how they are achieving this. Are there any non English /Asian sites worth submitting to and what is the best way to go about this if English is the only language you speak! And of course is it worth while doing this from an SEO perspective.

Should you avoid links from infographic sites?
Suppose you have an interesting infographic that you are promoting. Should you be cautious about having it published on sites that only publish infographics? Do you think these sites pass any link value?

Any good content sites with good quality links?
I have some content which is still relevant and interesting but not really suitable for my current websites. I have been thinking of using this on an article site to generate some links back to my sites, but I am wary about this due to Google's targeting of content sites. I currently have good PR's on Squidoo and Hubpages which link back and work quite well. Can anyone suggest any others or any ideas how to use this content for SEO purposes? Is using it for article submissions to get links short sited?
