How a Single Press Release Catapulted My Website Traffic
Summary
You might have heard about using press releases for website promotion, but it's often underestimated. If you’ve never explored this strategy, my story might just change your mind.
My Journey
About a year ago, I launched a health-related website focusing on product reviews. I was committed to creating high-quality, original content, unlike countless sites that simply regurgitate information from elsewhere. I wanted visitors to find genuine value and have reasons to return. This dedication meant that writing reviews took time, as I personally tested each product.
When my site finally went live, I couldn’t wait to share it with the world and boost product sales. Numerous promotional methods were available: articles, link exchanges, directory submissions, and of course, press releases.
Historically, I relied on writing articles for steady traffic and backlinks, which improved search engine rankings. However, I was exhausted from weeks of hard work, so I decided to take a weekend break and visit friends?"but not before attempting something new.
The Press Release Experiment
Before leaving, I wrote my first press release, even though I wasn’t sure about its structure. I browsed a few examples on PRWeb for inspiration and then crafted a release highlighting my unique website with original health product reviews.
Initially, I planned to use PRWeb’s free publishing service but opted for their $119 extended service for same-day distribution. It was a last-minute decision, but I took the plunge, grabbed my credit card, and set off for the weekend.
The Impact
Returning late on Sunday, curiosity got the better of me. I logged into my control panel and checked the stats?"hundreds of visitors had flooded my site within hours of the press release distribution, leading to thousands over the weekend. I was amazed!
Eager to see if this traffic translated to sales, I logged into Clickbank. Despite a few password fumbles, I discovered impressive results: 2 sales on Friday, nearly 20 on Saturday, and another 15 on Sunday, totaling $1065. My hard work had paid off!
In the following days, traffic stabilized but sales remained strong. Some publishers even contacted me for magazine and newspaper features. With my press release link featured on high-ranking sites, search engine spiders quickly took notice. While the initial surge from the press release tapered off, my search engine rankings improved significantly, driving consistent organic traffic.
Embracing Press Releases
I fell in love with press releases as a main strategy for driving targeted traffic and achieving rapid search engine indexing and ranking. Instead of paying $119 for each release, I now submit them manually to save money, accepting a longer pickup time. I use a powerful software to streamline submissions, even scheduling them for when I'm on vacation. That’s the way life should be!
By incorporating press releases into my strategy, I’ve sustained traffic growth and enhanced site visibility. If you're looking for a way to boost your website, this might just be your solution.
