Press Release Sites
-
Has anyone ever used macreportmedia.com for press releases? I normally use PR Web. This new company contacted me and it sounds pretty good, but I don't really trust anything without reviews, and I can't seem to find any out there. Has anyone had any luck with these guys? If not, can you suggest anything other than PR Web that you've had success with? I'm really looking for the SEO benefits of the releases more than the publicity.

Other than prweb and prnewswire, I also recommend marketwire.
In the most recent SMX, Matt Cutts talked about how google doesn't count the press release links because they are essentially paid links.
The most important thing you need to think about when choosing the press distribution sites is how wide of a net it casts, so that your story actually gets picked up by journalists and they write about you, hopefully with a link. The actual link from the press release (ex. prweb.com/ xxxxx) has no SEO value, in my opinion.

I haven't ventured outside of PRWeb yet, but honestly I don't know how effective they are. The one link you get from the actual press release is good, but as far as I can tell the online pick-up, albeit large (100+ sites usually), isn't that helpful as the individual pages don't seem to be getting indexed. I ended up with 3 free press releases from PRWeb in their attempt to make up for an extremely rude tech support guy, but I can't say they have done a whole lot for me. I have one more release to use and then I think I may find something else. I hear prnewswire.com is good, but its so expensive!

Depends on your content, but we use Christian Newswire http://christiannewswire.com/ We've been extremely happy with them. They are responsive, have wide distribution and are more reasonably priced than PRWeb.

I'm curious what more people think about these PR sites. I know that they are supposed to be less and less effective but I see a ton of sites building links out like crazy from them and getting good ranking for their clearly anchor-text targeted keywords.
What do you all think? I know it's kind of a gray area even though Google is against it, but they can't necessarily count these as penalties right?... because there are actual bonafide press releases coming out of them?
Other decent DA PR sites, so that I'm contributing:
MarketWire.com

With a PR3 and Domain Authority - 32, this website will not give you any SEO benefit.

Linking Between Sites
Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing well. If a company owns several different websites that are supposed to be different brands but are part of the same niche/sector is it OK to link between them? Or would this be seen as violation? Thanks

Best way to set up a support site - sub domain, separate site or com/support?
My company is setting up our support site. It has been suggested that we set it up as a separate domain - www.company-support.com, rather than setting it up as a sub-domain (www.support.company.com) or the usual www.company.com/support. The person who proposed this believes it wlll create link juice, but i wonder if splitting the traffic will create more harm than good? Opinions please!

Should I post an article to the same article site each month or should I vary the sites I post them to?
Hi Community,
Link Building | | acs111
Im planning on creating an article each month centred around 1 keyword.
Is it best to post this to the same site. eg http://ezinearticles.com/ every month or should I try to post it to a mixture of different sites? I'm trying to rank a site higher for their chosen keyword by gaining links from anchor text within each article I create.0 -
Should I link to my Press Releases?
I just created my first press release at prlog.org using the free account, which lets you have one outgoing followed link. Question: Should I link to my press releases from my web site? I made the mistake of doing link exchanges in the past, and worried Google would detect it as a link exchange. It would be nice to link to the press releases on my site while still getting the benefits of having an incoming link from a site with PR 6. Is prlog.org a good site for press releases? Is there another one you recommend that is free or inexpensive? Is there any benefits to using multiple press release sites, with different content on each site? Thanks!!!

Advice for brand new site
Dear All I have been an SEO for several years now, and have just laucnhed a new site www.householdsaver.co.uk its in its early stages as I expect to add a community option where people post deals and offers they have found, share them with friends etc My question is really are all the old seo practices still worth doing? Things like directory sites, blog comments, articles sites, social bookmarking etc.... (I have already built up twitter users on the account before the site went live) With Moz's trust factor is it best to go for highrank trust sites first or... I guess you could say that I am suffering from what do I do first and is it all still worth doing and what are the early pit falls to think about..? ie too many links too soon and from to high or to low trusted sites? Any comments from anyone who have put a new site live in the past couple of years would be appricated. Thanks James
