I've always been a big time press release aficionado.
And up until recently I've firmly taken the low school
way by causation
them out via snail-mail. Yeah, I'm a little old-fashioned once
it comes to certain things. But long-time habits are hard to break once
they produce great results.
Anyway, I was in the inside of launching a new piece of code August 2005. As I prepared to begin my press release prepatory ritual of labeling and stamping envelopes, it occurred to me that since it's the summertime, and folk are always in and out on vacation, maybe I should give online press releases a spin.
(Okay the REAL reason I wanted to try it is because I was feeling particularly lazy, and I didn't feel like labeling and stamping hundreds of envelopes. A girl has to get her mandatory poolside hours in before the leaves start falling.)
In the back of mind I unbroken
thinking what a waste of time this online press release thing was going to be. But I definite
that it couldn't hurt... I hoped.
I went through the web sites of about half a dozen press release distributors.
Major fixtures like PRNewswire didn't give me any toe curling experiences. The cost was high and they tend to deal with a lot of corporate press material. My code is double-geared towards Joe and Jane Q. Public, so I didn't feel that it was going to be a compatible match.
There were a few press release distributors that specialized in software. And their prices were well inside
my targeted range.
However I definite
against them because most of the outlets they'd be mailing to weren't inside
my target audience. I could've compiled my own little media list for a lot cheaper.
But that wouldn't activity either. I had a chaise lounge with a slowly weakening
butt imprint. I necessary to fill it up once more - STAT. Aggregation a list simply wasn't in the cards.
That's once
I arrived at PRWeb.com. I've best-known simply about this site for several years now. But I've ne'er
given it more thought, as I actually hadn't detected
any super stellar reviews simply about it.
Now in case you're wondering, PRWeb distributes press releases in a variety of topical categories. You can submit your release for free. You can contribute up to $80 and get several extra perks. Or you can use their $119 PRWeb Direct service, which gets your release in prestigious positions like Yahoo News and Google News.
I opted for the PRWeb Direct service computation that's wherever
I would-be get the better results.
I wrote my own release, submitted my order to PRWeb, then took out my Troll doll and rubbed him on the computer for good luck.
The next morning I got up and logged into my PRWeb account. They have a stat's program that tells you how many a pageviews your press free
has received, and I was curious to see whether I'd gotten 5 or heaven forbid 20 clicks. (I'm such a doubter at times!)
Well you could have pushed me over with a calm summer breeze after I saw those numbers. At 7:30 am EST my press release already had 40,000+ pageviews. By the end of day, that number had surpassed 96,000.
Did that translate into thousands of dollars worth of code sales? Well actually, it didn't. But that press release wasn't my better work. It was good, but not great. Silly me.
However, I did get a good little surprise.
Two days after the release I happened to be doing several searching on Google mistreatment one of the major keyphrases mentioned in my press release. Low and behold, there on page 1 was my press release holding it down in the #5 position.
A similar search at Yahoo showed the release in the #8 position.
The number of keyword optimized sites for my targeted phrase (which is "ebay merchandiser software") is 24,100 at Yahoo, and 531 at Google. But that's extraneous news to me.
The point here is...
#1 - My marketing message ready-made it onto the desirable 1st page of Google for a nicely targeted phrase. No sandbox. No waiting for my brand, new site to get spidered.
#2 - My marketing message ready-made it onto the desirable 1st page of Yahoo for a nicely targeted phrase. No trying to amount out Yahoo's algorithm, rhyme or reason.
#3 - The press release was delivering traffic to my web site BEFORE it even as got listed in the top 10 at Google and Yahoo. In fact, the release was featured on many a several auction resource and news sites.
PRWeb is what I like to call a Back Road tactic. It get's you a top 10 rank, without having to go through the usual SEO channels. And it's probably several of the better traffic you can get, short of being clicking directly on your site.
There aren't many a reliable and consistent Back Road's. This is only the second one I've move across that fancies several Google and Yahoo. So it's by all odds worth taking advantage of.
So now back to my innovational question... Press Release + PRWeb = Top Google Rank... True or False?
True.
Now excuse me patch I soak in the slowly decreasing
rays of summer. PRWeb has got my back.
