Here is a quick list of the best free Press Release websites.  For paid Press Release service, we also recommend PRWeb and PRNewswire.   While SEO can increase visibility and ultimately more views of your press release, we recommend that you write primarily for your audience.

Once the press release is complete, then we recommend using the headline and anchor text to focus on targeted keywords.  The headline should be focused on a primary keyword while one or two strategically placed links should link to the appropriate content on the website using keyword rich anchor text.  The About Us or profile section is a good place for a link to the home page, but you should focus on linking deeper into the site to more relevant content.
