VANCOUVER, BC, June 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Many people assume that the only reason for a company to distribute a press release is to announce a new development in its structure, product or service.
This has traditionally been the main reason behind issuing press releases, but lately - and thanks to the increase in online press release distribution services - many are discovering the myriad SEO benefits that online press release distribution offers a company.
SEO stands for search engine optimization, and refers to the prevalence of your company's website in search engine results. Most companies' goals are to get their website into the first page of Google when a potential customer is searching for keywords relevant to the company's offerings.
For example, a florist in Des Moines, Iowa will want to be on the first page of Google results when a potential customer types in "flower shop Des Moines" or "flower delivery Des Moines".
There are many factors involved in search engine presence and dominance, such as:
- The number of quality back links to your company's website
- Keywords programmed into your site's code
- Refreshed content on your website
Online press release distribution can be a huge help with the first factor listed. When you distribute a press release online, depending on the distributor and package you use, you can get anywhere from 10-300 back links to your press release generated. If you include a link to your company's website in your press release, this is going to really assist the number of back links that direct users to your website.
At Prompt Proofing, we often write press releases for clients and also create a blog post from that press release (or vice versa). This gives our clients two services for far less cost, and they are able to not only distribute the press release online to create more back links, but also post the blog to their website to allow for their site to be regularly refreshed with new content (the third factor listed above). Both of these tactics improve a site's search engine ranking.
As mentioned previously, search engine optimization is a multi-layered and complex area of expertise, and there are many SEO experts out there who can assist you with boosting your website's search engine rankings. If you want to try press release distribution as a way to share company news and boost back links to your website, contact us at info@promptproofing.com. We can write a release for you and recommend a distribution service (we can offer coupons for discounts on distribution as well). You don't even need to wait until your company has a big announcement to make - we can help you come up with informative and interesting topics to write about that are still relevant and will allow you to distribute releases on a regular basis.

New study demonstrates the role of urban greenery in CO2 exchange
2012-06-28
In what might be the first study to report continuous measurements of net CO2 exchange of urban vegetation and soils over a full year or more, scientists from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Minnesota conclude that not only is vegetation important in the uptake of the greenhouse gas, but also that different types of vegetation play different roles. Their findings will be published July 4 in the current issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research – Biogeosciences, a publication of the American Geophysical Union.
"There has been little research of this type in the ...

Kids who cook hungrier for healthy food choices
2012-06-28
(Edmonton) Getting kids to pass up junk food in favour of healthier fruits and veggies has led to many a mealtime meltdown for parents everywhere. Now, researchers from the University of Alberta offer a simple solution: give them an apron.
A provincewide survey of Grade 5 students in Alberta suggests the best way to get your child to eat healthier foods—and actually enjoy them—is to have them help with meal preparation.
"Kids who like fruits and vegetables more tend to eat them more frequently and have better diets," said lead author Yen Li Chu, a post-doctoral fellow ...
Smoking, head injury, pesticide use may be risk factors for rare sleep disorder
2012-06-28
MINNEAPOLIS – Smoking, head injury, pesticide exposure, farming and less education may be risk factors for a rare sleep disorder that causes people to kick or punch during sleep, according to a study published in the June 27, 2012, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
People with the disorder, called REM sleep behavior disorder, do not have the normal lack of muscle tone that occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causing them to act out their dreams. The movements can sometimes be violent, causing injury to the ...
Sticky gecko toes arose independently many times during evolution
2012-06-28
Geckos have independently evolved their trademark sticky feet as many as 11 times, and lost them nine times, according to research published June 27 in the open access journal PLoS ONE.
There are about 1,450 known species of geckos, and about 60 percent of them have adhesive toepads. The researchers behind the current study, led by Aaron Bauer of Villanova University in Pennsylvania, analyzed the DNA of many gecko species to determine their family relationships and construct the most complete gecko family tree yet. Then, they added the information about whether or not ...
Social issues in teen years can hurt future health

Social interactions during adolescence can affect health many years into adulthood, according to research published June 27 in the open access journal PLoS ONE.
The authors of the study, led by Per E Gustafsson of Umeå University in Sweden, used data from a long-term study monitoring social relationships and health over 27 years, from age 16 to 43, for over 800 participants. The researchers found that problematic peer relationships in adolescence, as measured through teachers' assessments, were correlated with all components of metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster ...
Life cycles of mysterious Namibian grassland 'fairy circles' characterized
2012-06-28
The grasslands in Namibia are home to so-called "fairy circles" - circular bare spots, usually surrounded by a ring of taller grass – of unknown origin. These circles are described and characterized in a report published June 27 in the open access journal PLoS ONE. The author, Walter Tschinkel of Florida State University, showed that the circles are not permanent, and go through a birth, maturation, and death process. The life spans appear to range from 24 to 75 years, and smaller circles were generally shorter-lived than larger ones. The ultimate cause, however, remains ...
