Did you know that you can improve your website's ranking on major search engines using online press release services? If you are not familiar with press releases or the idea of online press release distribution, don't despair. It is so simple to use and is guaranteed to improve the rankings of any website.

A press release is a written communication directed at members of the news to announce something of value. Today, most releases are distributed via the internet or emailed to reporters in a specific niche. Commercial press release services distribute thousands of news releases each and every day.

Many companies distribute press releases on a regular basis to inform their industry of key changes or information they wish to communicated. Companies are hoping they "get ink" where by a reporter will take notice and publish their news online or in print. Reporters have come to depend on press releases as a way to find relevant news that is fit to print.

A press release in not all that complicated to develop. Most press releases include the date of the release, headline, news, and a brief company description or bio. Online releases include this information with a link back to the company's website or blog.

Over the last decade, hundreds of online press release websites have come online, helping reporters sift through these notifications and find the information they need. What does this mean to internet marketing? It means that there are sites that publish your news and are viewed by tens of thousands of people seeking targeted information daily.

This is good news for anyone trying to promote a new product, service, website or blog. But how do you get noticed? When I started out in Internet marketing, I thought it was all about writing a fantastic release and having it distributed across the web. And even today, that still holds true. However, when using press releases for SEO value, the key is simply to write a good release that helps build back links to your website or blog.

There are a couple press release services out there, much like article directories, where you can submit your releases for free. Some also let you include a link back to your website - the most important aspect of your release. Unlike article directories many of these sites are not free but you can still find a few that are.

When I'm looking to build a significant number of links to any of my website in a hurry, I always lean on press releases. To get started, look for a free press release distribution service via Google or Yahoo! There are many of these sites out there that do not charge and can meet your needs.

Over time I have found a couple of services I like and even pay a small fee for. I'm fine with that as long as the fees are reasonable. With a small budget you can start building inbound links to your website in less than 24 hours. Try using press releases to enhance your search engine optimization efforts. It's quick, easy, and gets results.
