Optimized Press Releases And News Articles

Good search engine visibility depends on good content.  Getting your news out to your target audience means writing optimized press releases and newsworthy articles..

For years companies have been at the mercy of journalists and editors to get their information into print or on the news. The Internet turned that on its head.

Now you have millions of people online searching for what they want - and Yahoo News now has the largest audience in the world.  Bigger than CNN or the BBC!

The one who holds the mouse is at cause - they're in control and they're reading press releases and news articles online. You can get your message out directly to your chosen audience. 

But you have to have press releases or news articles that work..Your press relase needs to be timely, news worthy and relevant.And it has to be found in the search engines.

People are searching for every conceivable idea or service. What better prospect could you possibly have than one who is actively looking for your product?   Your biggest problem now is how to get your website or information in front of them. You need to be creating optimized press releases and news articles that grab their attention and pull them through to your website.

Press releases that are correctly optimized for search and news engines will put your data directly onto the Web and in front of your online audience. No intermediary.  No gatekeeper.  A straight line to a public that is actively searching for you.   And with the latest tracking technology, it's possible to know exactly how many people read the press release, whether they clicked through to your website and what they did after they got there.

Optimized press releases are a very effective online marketing tool.  If you are not using this technology to reach your online markets you're leaving money on the table.

Examples:

South West Airlines sent out four optimized press releases with a link that was not used anywhere else.  They tracked the resulting traffic to their website and found that these visitors brought them $1.7 million in ticket sales.

Wine Zap: A small wine club got a great result off just one optimized release.  Their goal was to get new members to sign up for the club.  One release got them 134 new members in a week.

Future Industrial Technologies, a Santa Barbara company that trains in workplace safety and ergonomics, put out an optimized press release about a small hospital that cut their workers compensation costs from $300 000 a year to under $10 000.
