The secret to successful release of a newsworthy press release is that it must be SEO optimized. If a press release is written with keyword rich content it enhances the chance of being picked up and driving traffic to your website or business address.

1. Find out how news search engines function. Determine what their spiders are seeking and ensure that your press release contains all the appropriate terminology.

2. Use a format that is web friendly and ensure that the most relevant information and key words are present in the heading and first few lines of the press release. Many search engine spiders scroll only a few lines and not the whole document.

3. Tailor your press release so that it gets ranked by news search engines like Google or Yahoo. Journalists and news agencies look for relevant stories and news on these web sites each day.

4. Submit a press release that is current. While the press release is to promote your business link your activity, to ensure its spread link the promotion to current news in the world or your region. This will assure you of coverage.

5. Never use jargon or hyperbole words that need to be looked up and are not a part of regular usage. Even if technical terms are essential to your press release make sure you explain them in lay terms.

6. Use key word sites to determine a list of key words most relevant to your business. Choose the most relevant keywords to drive traffic to you. If it is done right not only news agencies but also potential clients will get in touch with you.

7. Make sure you make efforts to get the right keywords that are relevant to your business. Create a key word rich content by adding key words to the H1 header tag. Add keywords in the links to your website. Ensure an 8-15% keyword density. Make sure that the press release has all the relevant terminology in the first 5-6 lines itself.

8. Organize your press release and follow recommended formats.

9. Avoid writing a press release that is too long. Be concise and present facts in an orderly manner. State what is new. How it is important. And give a short background.

10. Be sure to include your contact details, email address, and website URL. Ensure that someone mans the emails and phones 24/7 and that all queries get immediate and relevant answers.

Be professional and create a list of questions people will want answers to and write down the answers and circulate the document to all your staff members.

Provide additional information and illustrations in such a way that news sites and newspapers have easy access.

If you optimize your press release and write it professionally it will spread the message and become an effective marketing tool that drives your business forward.
