PR Web or Marketwire which is better
-
Hi
I am currently considering two online PR services, Marketwire and PR web. Just wondering if anyone has a opinion on which one is better in terms of SEO value? Or if anyone has done any experiments on either?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Mik

Great thread! I just submitted one with Marketwire, it was much cheaper and I know they have strong contacts. i will likely use PR web next time and I'll let you know which I found better.
I think it also depends on your industry and what you are looking to get out of the press release. Marketwire is great for Canadian offline media distribution if that's what you're looking for.

I have had better results with PR Web, though I use both. If you need to pick one, use PR Web.
-
Generally we find PR Web is better (and cheaper!), Marketwire has been around longer and I think they may have a stronger contact base in the traditional media.
-
Same. I use PR Web 2-3 times a year (usually during peak season for one of my sites, and then to announce new features). If I put the time and effort in to pick good outlets/regions I usually am happy (but not thrilled) with the results. I get some good links and occasionally contacted about doing a piece. I feel it's the same as creating quality content, as you still need to put in some time and effort to get it picked up at more outlets. I have never tried Marketwire though, but I might in the future.
-
I have used PR Web. This site has a good reputation when it comes to distributing local news in a single region. But more or less, both are same and difference in pricing could be a deciding factor
-
Never used Marketwire, however I use PR Web regularly for syndicating clients press release. I like the service, I get a good spread of sites publishing articles and a decent amount of links (embedded in the article through PR Webs online editor).

Am I better off with ten links from one site or one link from ten sites?
I am writing a series of linked-back articles for a highly-ranked web publisher, but wonder if I'd be better off sharing the articles across different sites. My goal is to grow our domain authority and SEO rankings.

Having some problems with understanding how to properly use anchor text for my keywords' better rankings. Please help!
Hello, Last week I did some work on my website's inner pages linking and some of my highly ranking keywords fell down as a result. I guess I did something wrong, please help me figure out what exactly was wrong! Here is the example of what I did. I put a link to the page that ranks for 'Thermador repair Brentwood' here: http://www.ifixappliancesla.com/blog/2016/09/12/appliance-repair-brentwood/ I put exactly same anchor text, 'Thermador repair Brentwood'. For my blog posts, I use Yoast plugin, so when adding the link, I received the message "You are linking to another page with the focus word you want this page rank for. Consider changing that if you truly want this page to rank." While this one's ranking, 'Thermador repair Brentwood', didn't fall down, others did. Could you please confirm if my understanding is right and I'd better not use the same keywords on two or more pages? If yes, what is the best practice for linking to the pages that are not in the main menu? Let's say, I decided to do blog posts for the areas my appliance repair company serves and to optimize those pages for respective keywords. So, I have pages like "Appliance Repair Service in Brentwood" (which is optimized for "appliance repair brentwood" keyword), "Appliance Repair Service in Beverly Hills" ("appliance repair beverly hills" keyword), etc. I thought that the best way to link to them is to put the same anchor texts: "appliance repair beverly hills", etc. But it looks like the best way would be to use the anchor texts like "Beverly Hills", "appliance servicemen in Beverly Hills". Please tell me if I am right? Any explanation, advise or referral would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Free PR Sites
Is it advantagous to post to PR sites such as this one: http://www.i-newswire.com/fitness-professional-online-launches/218349 I've seen posts like these on several sites - same post on multiple sites. I'm wondering if it's even worth having them on one, or multiple. Thoughts?

PR Distribution Methods
Hi Friends, I am having doubts in PR distribution methods. The details are given below, First we will submit in http://www.prweb.com/ (PRWeb) then we will submit in our website. In the PRWeb when we submit PR on the same day Google cache the page but when we submit same PR in the website it take 1 week to google to cache. it Then we will distribute to free top 10 PR websites also. Any duplication problem will occur while following this method. Your Feedback on this is important for me. Thanks for you time.

Subpage PR4, No PR increase on Homepage - what gives?
This subpage gained a PR4 (was PR5) from external links. http://tinyurl.com/a24ghh9 It only has 5 links, including 2 links to the site's homepage. The homepage was PR2 before this subpage was published, and still is even after 2 PR updates. I'm surprised the PageRank that should be flowing from this subpage to the homepage hasn't increased the homepage PR to at least 3. Assuming each level of toolbar PR is 10x the one before, a PR4 subpage with 5 links should pass more than enough PR to the homepage to bump it from PR2 to PR3, right? Any ideas? Does Google have a really strong decay on how much PR gets passed from subpages to homepages? This is somewhat troubling to me, as it poses a problem for the "attract links to your content pages and your homepage and money pages will rise with the tide" approach.

PR web anchor text
We are submitting a press release today for a contest we are doing and it is actually news worth compared to a lot of things on PR web. Our question is PRweb.com still worth using? If we use them should we put an anchor text in it? We have one link to our home page and one to the contest page and we were going to have one link to a different page. But will linking to the third page with an anchor text be to much?

Has anyone seen positive results from using Submiteaze to submit to directories? I know an SEM agency that uses it for clients' link building campaigns, but I don't know if it is worth buying. Are there better alternatives?
I would like to start a link building initiative at my company for a new website, and would like to know if the value of the links built using Submiteaze would be worth the money.
