I disagree with your assertion that free press release sites are generally bad. There are bad ones and there are good ones. Whether or not it is a good idea depends upon the users goals and budget.

have to laugh whenever I see “WTF.”

There was a funny line in a recent episode of “Modern Family” where the
“hip” dad explains the meanings of terms used in texting. He thinks WTF
stands for “Why The Face?”

:-D :-D :-D

Thanks for your newsletter. I always read it and always benefit.

Nick,

1) Show me the evidence of this. I have never seen a site jump to first-page search rankings based on a press release for any meaningful period of time — if at all.

2) When has 2-3 days ever been anything more than a short-term tactic? If 2-3 days of results is your benchmark, I overwhelming second my cautions, my concerns, and my tone.

i disagree with the overall tone. they help immensely in first-page rankings for 2-3 days and when used creatively, can provide really powerful results.

Properly optimizing your pages to make them “search engine friendly” can greatly increase your search engine rankings, traffic levels, and potential earnings from your website.
