PR<\/a>, the canny marketing person will know that this is one of the best ways to get market visibility and makes you realise that PR, which was rooted in a different age completely, has found a new lease of life.<\/p>\nThat\u2019s not to say that traditional PR has run its course, or that the days of the hand delivered press release and a hoped for few inches in a national newspaper have gone forever. It\u2019s just that online PR brings the marketing discipline into a new era.<\/p>\n
Online press releases do carry weight and if picked up by more than the distribution services (many which are highly credible and well ranked sites themselves), can have a viral effect on the internet, bringing great kudos and attention to the originator of the news.<\/p>\n
The trick of course is to tailor the online PR bump particularly for the internet and not as you would do for the magazine say Whippet Monthly.<\/p>\n
Which is why most journalists in the UK have been retrained to understand the meaning of terms such as search engine optimisation and keywords.<\/p>\n
There is a downside of course, in that much of the discipline of preparing a press release has gone out of the window, meaning that many examples released into the ether have bigger imaginations than Disney. It used to be that a traditional press release had to be accurate, truthful, informative and well written. Nowadays it\u2019s a seemingly ugly free for all which destroys credibility.<\/p>\n
