How to Promote a Press Release<br \/>\n======================================<\/p>\n<p>When you write a press release and post it to your website, or to<br \/>\none of the paid distribution sites, you see an immediate bump in<br \/>\ntraffic.<\/p>\n<p>Then, as the months wear on, the traffic that comes directly from<br \/>\nthat release can slow to a trickle.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let your press release do all the work! Here&#8217;s how you can<br \/>\ndrive more traffic to it:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;In your Google profile, create a link that leads people to the<br \/>\npage where they can see all your press release titles, or to your<br \/>\nonline pressroom where they can find your releases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Link to the release when you answer a question on LinkedIn, if it<br \/>\nincludes helpful tips that tie into the topic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Link to your releases from individual blog posts, when the topic<br \/>\nis a good fit. Also, in the margin of the blog, link to the page<br \/>\nthat has all your press release titles.<\/p>\n<p>See how easy?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve compiled a list of 30 other ideas, and I&#8217;ll explain them all<br \/>\nwhen I host the webinar, &#8220;33 Ways to Promote Your Press Releases&#8221;<br \/>\nfrom 3 to 4:30 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, June 21.
