“A good press release is all about content that’s worth reading!” says, Mr. Elwinston of PR4Links, a news wire site that offers press release services. “The press release should be newsworthy and focus on a specific topic. Focusing too much on keywords or saturating the content with too much information is sure to drive readers and news search engines away from your press release. The news should give the reader an opportunity to use the information that’s provided. A mere announcement of information isn’t enough. It’s important to use keywords effectively as well. The most important keywords should be near the top of the document, and arranged according to their importance, as in the most important keyword comes first.” he adds.
