Submitting Same Press Release Content to Multiple PR Sites - Good or Bad Practice?

[KaranX]

I see some PR (press release) sites where they distribute the same content on many different sites and at end they give the source link is that Good SEO Practice or Bad ?

If it is Good Practice then how Google Panda or other algorithms consider it ?

Hi Karan,

With Press Releases this is always the case. In my opinion it is good as long as you put the content on your own site first. In the press release you than link to this source as you mention. I would advise to look at the link quality (spamscore and DA) of the press sites you want to send it to. It is better to have a couple very good links than a lot of low quality free publicity links.

Good luck!

Hi Tymen Boon,

Thanks for your reply !!

As you said that I should post the content on my site first then I can post it on High PA/DA & lower Spam score PR sites with my site's source link.

If we see in case of most popular PR site prnewswire.com it distribute same content on multiple sites more than 30 with its source link at bottom of each PR site . In 2014 Panda 4.0 hit prnewswire badly as given in this report http://searchengineland.com/google-panda-4-0-go-press-release-sites-192789.

In this case what will you say? Thanks !!

Hi Karan,

If you check it on MOZ OSE:

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/links?site=prnewswire.com&filter=&source=external&target=page&group=0&page=1&sort=page_authority&anchor_id=&anchor_type=&anchor_text=&from_site=

The site looks ok so. The traffic they have is not very relevant in this case as you only do it for the link. I have multiple business listings on press sites and business review sites like Yelp. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" i presume.

Good luck with all!

Hi Tymen Boon,

Thanks once again for answering !!

I agree with you that prnewswire has good PA, DA even low spam score .

As you said in your previous reply that we can post on High authority sites. In case, I post a PR content on the same let say prnewswire which is a paid PR site and has more than 100 PR media network (Good+Bad)

Good PA, Good DA, Lower Alexa, Lower Spam score prnewswire overall looks best.

Now, this site distribute my content on 30-40 other sites with same content with source link. Now any time Google Panda updates and the whole network got hit badly as well as prnewswire. then is it effect my site indirectly or directly or not?

Thanks !!
