Step 4: Using Articles And Press Releases For High-Quality Links And Publicity

Why is this important

Writing articles and distributing press-releases has always been a great way to get publicity and sales, but it's also important for search engine optimization purposes. Lots of professional press-releases scattered on the Net that mention your product or service, or numbers of high-performance articles devoted to your specific niche - these both can make a huge difference for your site's rankings!

And the reason article and press release distribution works so well for SEO is because:

• Articles and press-releases provide high-quality one-way links to your site. Just make sure you include a link somewhere in the author's bio, or as a homepage of your product, and you're guaranteed to have a ton of high-quality links!
  
  
• What is even more important is that articles and press-releases provide excellent, theme-related context for your links (which search engines place great value on), so using this method will give your site even more weight and prominence in the search engines results!
