Hii

I am 100% agree with you. Using press releases (news release or media release) to sell more books are also one of the best ways and most of the people are doing this quite professionally.

Thanks for sharing these helpful information with us. Keep helping and inspiring us.

Press releases are indeed a fantastic way to increase your search visibility by establishing you as an “authority” — a figure worth talking to, quoting, and writing about.

When bloggers, reporters, and other journalists mention you or your book in their material, even without linking to you, Google now recognizes that as a “semantic link” or “indirect link” — AKA a “mention”.

In the past 18 months, Google has really started to pay close attention to how many mentions a book or brand gets when considering how they rank in the search results.

Word of warning:

Web-only press releases and releases sent out via the free release space are still catering to the internet of 2010. Make sure you’re sending your release over a service that uses an actual newswire (PRNewswire, BusinessWire, MarketWire), or your release isn’t going to do much of anything.

Good Luck,
Mickie Kennedy

I like PRweb it is a great press release too. I used it a great deal for SEO search engine optimization to get quality backlinks for business websites but not yet as an author.
