Because it’s worth it.

Sometime back or a few years back, you could have easily get top ranking for just about any search term you wanted just by using a few simple tricks like keyword stuffing, invisible text and cloaking. Try any of that today and Google will kick you out of its index…

Even with the killer SEO software available in market today, it’s still not that easy to rank on the top. The fact that finding the right tool will make the difference between dominating Google, Yahoo and MSN and just so so results puts pressure on you early in the game. And that’s difficult because not only can using the wrong product be a waste of money and time, it can also damage your site in a way that takes years to undue.

With millions of new domains and web pages getting created everyday, it is almost impossible to get ranked on the top in major search engines, and if anyone could get your page to that spot, then he/she deserves to be paid for their intelligence to get those ranks.

So, no matter how you optimize your site just remember this…you are not competing against the search engines or Websites. You’re competing against the search ranking of individual Web pages. Too many people focus on beating search engines or whole sites, but that’s not your competition. Search engines rank individual web pages; not sites.

With the growing commercial nature of the web it is becoming harder to get quality one way inbound links without spending a fortune. By submitting free or cheap press releases, you can build link equity without spending a ton of money.

Many people do recommend spending on PR Web or PR Leap to help your PR get quicker handling and a better rotation, but there are also a bunch of smaller press release sites on the web like the new prhere.com which can get you quality anchor text based inbound links to your site, which can help your search rankings move up quickly.

Some of the benefits of a Press Release in terms of SEO are as below:

• Top rankings in Google News, Yahoo News and MSN news for targeted search terms
• New rankings in Google and Yahoo web search results, often first page results
• Coverage on hundreds of relevant web sites subscribed to RSS feed
• Links from web sites that pick up your news release
• Help in building link popularity for your web pages
• Archived press releases to deliver long-term link value
