Reposting media releases

[LoganYard]

Hey Mozers -

We recently distributed a media release and it has been picked up by 20+ news outlets and counting.

My question: Should I publish this media release on my news/blog page? Or is it better to just bask in the incoming links? What are the benefits and drawback to each?

Thanks in advance!

I have done it both ways I really have not seen that one way is better then the other.  Just personal experience...

Think about whats best for users if its something they should read put up a news page.  It wont hurt

I agree. However, if it was a media release, I would prefer to release it on my website first and then the media outlets, otherwise it's just duplicate content to me.

And yes, I agree, if it's make sense for your users, by all means, you should post it in the press/media section of your website. Whatever makes most sense.

Duplicate content was my original concern in posting this question.

Considering I haven't posted the news release yet, and 20+ others have, I am not going to post this release on my site. It is a time sensitive news release anyway, so no real need to tell my visitors now (with one day left in the event). I appreciate your input and I'll be sure to post news well ahead of distribution to news and media outlets.

Thanks again!
