Gemma Jacobs manages Press Release Wire at Daryl Willcox Publishing. She writes here on top tips for getting maximum exposure from your online press releases. Make me e-famous!
- Identify your keywords and phrases: For maximum effect keywords and phrases should be tied directly into your main campaign message. Where possible choose a popular search term for your product or service.
- Include keywords in the headline and text: Multiple mentions of carefully selected keywords or phrases near the top of each release can also be advantageous in search engine optimisation.
- Keep it informative: Don't pepper your release with too many different keywords to the detriment of readability. Focusing on one or two good keywords in each release can reap rewards over time.
- Add embedded links: Links added to one or two of your selected keywords or phrases will help boost your search engine rankings and drive traffic to your site.
- Choose appropriate landing pages: Each embedded link should link to a page on your website which contains your keyword or phrase in both the title and text where possible.
