The press releases themselves, appear on the search engines and can bring traffic long after they have been issued. Why not SEO it to get it higher for relevent keywords???

Also if they are picked up other sources – including blogs and feeds – the backlinks that can be given to your site can be helpful

In terms of PR Web, you really do not get that much traffic directly, but sometimes all it takes if just one large order to more than break even from the cost of the release

Liked it. But most beginners really need to be at least a bit of a scumbag to pitch their first product (not talking about any kind of spam though).

GREAT show…minus the ‘caller’ who got cut-off…all in all fairly interesting. I think it can be extremely difficult to pitch your product w/o coming off like a ‘scumbag’

I loved the show…..Big fan of Chris W. and 10e20

I was surprised how little credit was given to the power of a press release. I always felt it was a nice arrow to have in the quiver, for a few key reasons. (link building and reputation management to name a few)

Overall —Great Stuff!

As long as your product is worth it and as long as you don’t have a “here’s the link, blog about it” attitude, most people will gladly look into it.

As website owners, we often forget about PR…at least some of us do! I think its a good reminder. good advice.

In a way a lot of Blogs do PR and don’t really realize it… Everytime you do a milestone post, which talks about traffic, or top commenters, etc. it really is PR. You are telling peaople how sucessful you are, how much content you have or just..HEY I am here!
You should apply PR principles to those posts as well!

My problem is Chris fails to explain how the only reason why his company is worth a penny is because of Danielle. Chris, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Lanzillo (spell check) is the reason why you got the business you do, be honest buddy.
