Using Press Releases

New Press Release Website Launch

2005-03-13T07:28:00.000-08:00

My new website over at www.prmavern.com is about to launch (I'll be putting out the first press release very soon).

The site is designed to provide all the resources and information you need to learn how to use the power of press releases to help the bottom-line of your business revenue.

One of the first additions to the site will be some short video tutorials which demonstrate how to use various online services to get your press releases achieved.

The site will be going live on Monday 14th of March 2005 - Make sure you add it to your bookmarks as it's going to be a very handy place for you.

Get your large website indexed quickly

2005-01-11T06:07:00.000-08:00

Hi again,

This question was asked and I thought you might find the answer useful.

"How do I get a website of 5,000 pages indexed quickly?"

My answer:-

No-one can guarantee that your site will be indexed in 24 hours since the only person with ultimate control is Google.

However, the key to getting a new site fully indexed is deep linking.

If you were to just leave the site and get links to the index page, you could end up waiting 9 months to get it all in.

Have you created a site map(s).

Depending on your site, it may pay you to create several site maps for different parts of your site.

The basic principle is this:

The Search Engine Bots will investigate pages that they find links to from pages that they're already visiting (you know this since you mentioned blog and ping).
When they do this, the work on a portion of the pages they've found about about at a time, so the more pages and the deeper the links to those pages - the longer it will take and the more times the bot will need to come back to get more.

So, the most effective thing you can do is: Create several site maps which cover lots of pages that have fairly shallow linking the get to them all (normally 2 levels max).

So rather than having 1 huge site map that lists every page. Create 5 site maps of 1000 links, or even more.

Then - Get links to these separate site maps aswell as your main index page. From as many different, high quality, high traffic sources as you can.

Blogs, RSS, Forums, Directories are all good examples of these.

If you get desparate you can buy links from high PR sites, but there's no need.

Any of the large, popular forums probably get visited by the bots every day (my own site does).

If you're not sure where to find directories to submit to, I've put together a huge list here: http://www.moneyandmotivation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=162

If you want places to submit your blog/rss feed, I've put together a good list here: http://pheedcentral.com/component/option,com_weblinks/catid,68/Itemid,4/

Jason Bradley has a product called IndexTracker that you can use to track indexed pages across all of your websites. I use it a lot.

I hope that helps

Regards,

Getting Prime Visibility

2004-12-10T10:54:00.000-08:00

Although you can submit a press release for free,

if you make a contribution to the site along with your release, you can get 'sponsered' or 'featured' status.

These press releases are rotated throughout a preferred viewing area, and depending on the amount of the financial contribution, the release will be reward with more prominent positioning.

Get into Yahoo Free and Quickly

Hi,

You may be using Press Releases to help you get found by the search engines.

If that's the case and you're struggling to get your new sites indexed by yahoo:

Here's a little tip you might like.

Set up a Blog with whichever service you prefer (I like Blogger.com)
Go over to Yahoo.com and setup a 'MyYahoo' account. It's free.

Then on your MyYahoo homepage and goto the section that says 'choose content' and then tick the box that says RSS Headlines (BETA).

Add your feed url(s) to this, so that they are shown on your MyYahoo page.

Yahoo will be around with 48 hours.

Have fun.

Press release update

2004-11-29T15:29:00.000-08:00

The test site I mentioned before now stands at 195 inbound links with no extra effort.

Update

2004-11-24T04:31:00.000-08:00

Todays update sees the link count at 181.

So, you can see the power of using press releases, and those figures are from One press release at a not particularly newsworthy time.

If you're after links to your website from valuable sources, how about one from CNET?

Go here to find out how to get it:

Press Release Power Tips

2004-11-23T03:58:00.000-08:00

If you need to publicise a new online business, or maintain brand awareness, a press release is the ideal tool.

To demonstrate the power of the press release I'll use an example of a site I launched this week.

On Monday the site (www.airport-parking-guide.co.uk) was uploaded to our server.

On Tuesday a press release (included at the bottom of this post) was sent out.

By Friday we'd made sales, been indexed by Google (showing at position 3 for airport parking guide) and had 174 backlinks to the new site.

There are very few other ways to get this sort of power.
