Does PRWeb.com Still Work?

Is PRWeb.com still a viable solution for SEO?

[William.Lau]

Paying for press releases are somewhat not a viable option anymore. Many believe that using that budget to create an awesome content would be a better choice.

As well believe, good contents will lead to backlinks. The problem with PR sites is that they mass send these to news sites, and unless your content in your PR is good, it won't be picked up and you would have paid $100-$200 for just 1-2 links.

It's a limited solution. It can get visibility fast and possibly drive traffic. It can also (unintentionally) interfere with your site - for example, a product news release could do well and the product page on your site could rank lower. So it also depends what the CTA is and what you want to rank best.

Even with good content, you need a way to get it out there to get visibility which is what a service like this can do. Then again, it can also do it for not really great content.
