| FREE News Releases
(& those you pay for, too!)
Announce to journalists and public relations people in your industry
using news release services. You may wonder how or why any editor
would search through thousands of news releases for news. Search engines spider the text
pages of the news releases. Keywords you use in your press release are
important to search engines and if you use keywords in text links
(like "Many customers have benefited from our asset management
service"), providing link to the page that describes that
service (See How
to), you help your search engine positioning for that page.
Also, many press releases remain active on these websites for 30
days or longer, continuing to aid your promotions.
