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).

Do you know any way to tell MOZ that the page is published?
I have checked my robots.txt and everything seems to be ok. Google search console, takes out all the links correctly but MOZ is not able to.
Thanks to all of you for helping me1 -
Does anyone have solely used fresh web explorer for link building?
hello, As far I am concerned one of the best link building strategies is broken link building. But what about if you reverse the tactic and you build links using only fresh web explorer? Anyone have tried this or not yet? If yes, results are good? I will try it soon on a new site ...and some info regarding results would be appreciated. Once I use it by my self and first links are indexed I will provide more data regarding the campaign... Thanks

Are links from charities really better than 'normal' links.
Hi Guys. Just wondering about this idea that links from Charities are particularly good. I've heard people say that links from .org sites are particularly strong. But anyone can get a .org domain, it's just that charities tend to use them more often. Right? I just don't get the logic. Can anyone give more detail about this? Is it a myth? Is there quality info on this topic I can check out? We're working with several charities at the moment, and they all seem happy to blog and link to us...so I just wanted to know a little more. Isaac.

Multiple links from a single web-site
When one good web-site (PR5) has a link to my web-site - it's great. But, if this site has a second link to my web-site from another page, is this also good? Or, let me ask in a different way, will my web-site get "double benefit" from that web-site?

How to link blog posts to web pages
In past I would write blog posts and link to a static web page. The link from the blog post to the static web page would be the same keyword(s) as the web page was optimized around. With the latest Google updates, it seems like the keywords linking to the web page need to be varied, but I'm not sure what the ideal system would be?

What does it mean to ping you web 2.0 backlinks?
We know that a major backlinking strategy is to create web 2.0 articles linking to your main money site. But these web 2.0 articles also need to be recognized by google, so people tell me I need to ping them? What does that mean?

Should You Avoid Links from Sites with Big Difference Between PR and MozRank?
If a site has a Google toolbar PR of 2 and a Mozrank of 5, does that most likely mean that the site is penalized and a link would probably provide little value. I know that Google rarely updates toolbar PR so I suppose the site could have also earned a lot of quality links since the last update. Thanks Mozzers!
