Press Releases For Blogs and Websites
One little tactic for marketing your blog that you should DEFINITELY consider is submitting a press release.
Press releases can be beneficial for blogs and websites in several different ways.
For starters you will get those ever-important one-way backlinks coming to your site. If you write your press release carefully with good SEO principals in mind then they could be very valuable backlinks. Be sure to put your keywords in the title of your press release (many only PR companies us your press release title as the title of the HTML page that it is posted to) as well as in the first sentence and then a few times in the body.
If you are lucky (and you usually will be) then the release will get picked up by several sites and printed verbatim.
The second thing you might get is press coverage! This can be GOLD for getting traffic to your site. I have had several of my sites in major newspapers and their corresponding websites and it is great for getting targetted traffic as well as building your site’s reputation.
