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.

It's surely black hat tactics. How do they get away with this? The website has zero content beyond light brochureware.

We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?
The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

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.

Linkbuilding strategy for website development firm... some questions...
Hi there: I own a website development and internet marketing business. We began providing onpage optimization as a natural extension of our website design services for our clients. I'm now personally working on the backlinks for our site, and I have a question for someone with more insight than I currently possess: You folks are probably aware that many web design agencies post footer links in their client's site, with some sort of anchor text to the effect of "website designed by Blankety Blank..." I've read that these types of sitewide footer links are probably a wash, in terms of linkbuilding value. (Thoughts anyone?) My best sense is that they help a little, but not a lot. Which led me to my next stratagem, which I'd like some feedback on the merits of... I'm thinking of offering my clients a slight price reduction in exchange for a dedicated page on their site for attribution. It wouldn't be pure self-promotion in nature; really just a brief description of tools used to build the site and a backlink. It could be part of a pre-existing "partners" page on the site, if client has one, currently. (Some of ours do...) The net result of this would be a single backlink from the main body content of client's page. Is this a smart move? I'm wondering what others think...
