I have a blog in a fairly under-represented niche that I'm hoping to grow. Occasionally I blog about stories from that niche, that have (accidentally) attracted worldwide attention. I now see that I could easily have generated that traffic myself with targeted press releases. However, I am confused on one point: if (e.g.) PRWeb does not allow html to be embedded in the press release, how can I drive traffic to my blog, or - more specifically - to a particular blog post? Grateful for any tips. Thanks. Hi Eric and thanks for a very interesting, informative post.

It's amazing what a little digging can do. Find the name of some editors, some reporters, contact them directly, they're always looking for stories. And if you're looking to get published, contact the editor. My first every press release I got a 3.0 on in college. That same press release made the AP wire. It doesn't take much at all, you simply have to do it, and I can assure you that not many of your competitors are.

I feel compelled to defend the PR profession a bit, though, since those of us who have worked in PR for a long time often fight the perception that public relations is solely about media coverage. PR is about much more than media relations; in a nutshell, it’s about eliciting behavior, and media coverage is just one of the tools PR professionals use. One other thing: I'm not sure I agree that just anyone can write an effective press release. Even if a release is going to be Web based, it still should be well written and compelling. Thanks for the SEO tips, though. I have much to learn about this area! Congratulations, Eric, on your success.

I wrote press releases back when I did a public relations internship at a non-profit. So, I have a good idea on how to write one. Now, I think I'll come up with a good angle and try it out. This could be one of the cheapest, yet most effective (if done well) sources of major advertising a blogger can get. Definitely worth a shot. Great idea.
