Yes, shape the news release for a niche of journos/writers and pitch your news to them, or just target one individual at a time. Build media lists and build up long-term links with the journos/writers. There are lots of resources on the web about how to write the perfect news release. One of the best PR books out there is PR Power by Amanda Barry.

Thanks Luke,
So i should content to writers individually and ask them if they would be interested in publishing my news?

Hi Sida. I'm a PR bloke. Why would you want to publish PR content on 7,000 websites in a week? There could be a problem If there are backlinks to your client from those websites, especially if they're spammy, low-quality websites.
Good PR is about sending newsworthy stories through to journos and other writers, who will pick up on the stories and publish them. It isn't about placing news releases on thousands of websites.

Hi all,
I don't want to ask repetitive questions but I am still unclear with how to handle online PR .
PR agencies are publishing content to 5k-7k online PR websites and it is very hard to change the content for each website (almost impossible) or if we attend to change the content by the time we change it, the subject will be old and it wont be an interesting news for the late publishes.
If we publish one PR content on 7k websites in a week, would it be a problem or not?
Thanks

I've found that PRNewswire, PRWeb and BusinessWire have a good reach to UK websites for press releases.
PRWeb doesn't offer a specific UK service, but it is sometimes picked up by the UK sites and press anyway. PRNewswire and BusinessWire offer more targeting to the UK demographic, although it comes at a higher price.
Because of this price, always remember to use press releases when you have something to announce and can be confident that your press release will resonate with an audience and hopefully lead to traffic and conversions. Don't just do it for the SEO benefit. Evidence suggests press releases to benefit in SEO, but I wouldn't rely on it solely and there's a chance that the link effect may be devalued over time.
Hope this helps.

Are you using PR websites to spread news or build links? If its the latter then don't waste your time. If its the former then you're better off finding bloggers that regularly talk about your company's services and send the PR to them (and tailor to their audience if necessary). Read this post http://www.seroundtable.com/google-press-release-links-16136.html which should tell you all you need to know about PR's.

What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website
Hi All, What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website. Lets say if i have a website xyz.com (which provide pest control services in New York City) and I want to create third party blogs on platforms like blogspot, weebly etc so should i create the blog url as xyz.blogspot.com or i can use a keyword in the blog URL such as pestcontrolnyc.blogspot.com?

I need help: Website has dropped and I dont know how to bring it back
Hi All, So my website has dropped now to page 12, I have no idea why, I've tried myself to bring it back and I have also tried a few £1000 at outsourcing the SEO which has had no affect. There are no penalties in webmaster tools but I personally think something the algo doesn't like is holding it back - I could be wrong. I think this because some of the results higher than me are a lot worse, hold little to no content and there backlink profiles have no links, some are even 1 page new domains that have been live for as little as a month ranking a lot higher than me. At one point I was ranking page1, position4 for the term 'bank holidays' and now I don't rank anywhere. What's weird is if you search 'bankholidays' as one word I appear in that position. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? Problem page: followuk.co.uk/bank-holidays - GoogleUK search. I need some help please.

Where do I find the best link building company?
Hi there, I'm trying to find an ethical, honest, link building company. We don't want links on shady forums, or comment spam, or any of that black hat nastyness!. I want links, on proper sites, and I'm prepared to pay for them accordingly. We're also more than happy to write/have written/ quality content that can be linked to. (We already pump out about 15 x 400+ word, optimised blogs weeks) We spend hours on the various social media sites also. So I think the only thing we're really missing now, is decent backlinks and possibly some more long tail keywords... Over to you guys. Paul.
