Linking Guidelines for a Press Release

Linking is a very important part if you are publishing a press release online, as of today the most popular search engine and platform is Google, so it's better to go along with linking guidelines of Google.

Here are two important instructions for a better linking:

  1. Do not do the overlinking (means do not include too many links in the press release text)
  2. Two or maximum three links in text are fine but they should be and should appear natural, if you become too greedy for rich keyword linking if you are not popular then it can put you and the publisher in a spam problem.

Overall the linking should be and should appear natural, that's all! 

Publishing Guidelines for a Press Release

After you have ended with writing a good press release, now the time comes to broadcast it.

Points to take into notice before broadcasting a press release

  1. A Final Check and Analysis of the written press release to detect and fix any incorrectness.
  2. Search & make your choice  for the Best Press Release Sites
  3. Go for the paid press release option for instant publishing. And if you are out of budget then go for the fress press release publishing option but then broadcasting can be delayed as they are not reviewed on the priority.
  4. Don't go for multiple press release sites to avoid content duplicacy.
