There is increasing evidence of
a shift in journalist behaviour towards finding information through searching
online, rather than relying on material being sent to them direct.
When you
think about it, it isn’t that surprising that journalists, most of whom suffer
information overload, will be tempted to ignore the swathes of potentially
irrelevant information sent to them and resort to a simple Google search to seek
out specifically what they need.
This means it is even more essential that PR
content is available online and it is easy to find.
One way to do this is to
ensure your releases are on the Response Source/SourceWire Press Release Wire.
We've made releases even more visible by adding the ability to attach keywords
to each release. This improves the 'searchability' of each release, see our full
explanation on using
keywords to improve press release visibility. This comes hot on the heels of
other recent enhancements, such as links to PDF versions on every release and
the ability to embed
'soundbites'. The latter helps highlight a particular message in your
release and can also improve search engine optimisation.

press release distribution service.
