Comment on Ask HN: Are there better options than PR Web out there?parent

Comments

i think his intent for SEO via PR releases is that they provide a well-written release and people will scrape it for content to throw on their own sites, providing contextual backlinks.

which is an ok plan, i suppose.

/not a SEO expert but plays one on tv

Yea that's essentially what i was thinking and I honestly don't know if that's even a good idea, not an expert either.

We have a news section on the site, as I decided to treat our facebook fan page (havent published yet) as our blog since I think the big problem with fan pages is that they dont have ongoing content. But realizing the need for content on the site, I thought a 'news' section would suffice. These same news articles I was thinking of publishing using PR web (or something like it), as I had come to understand that it could help your SEO.

I suppose its worth mentioning that I don't event know if that's a great use of our money since we operate in the ticket domain so to imporve our ceo we would be competing with the mega-sites who crush us in resources. So thinking of that way, maybe its worth more my time to spend the money on advertising?
