Hi there,
I have about a dozen pre-paid press releases from PRWeb which I got about 9 months ago and so far I've only written and published two releases.
I had wanted it to be a part of my SEO strategy and now they expire in 3 months and I'm really having mixed feelings about using them anyway. My concern is that if I do use up all 10 of them or even a handful of them over the next 3 months it will be frowned upon by Google and co. for spamming news outlets. From what I'm reading these days Press Releases are getting very little to no SEO benefits. Is that your feelings? I may be okay with that since there may actually be non-SEO benefits from it but I don't want it to work against me either.
We just launched a new company and have lots I could write about but I don't know if using the press releases will have a negative effect and perhaps I'm better off just posting our press releases on our blog and taking the loss.
Thanks for your help!
Andy
