Mar 3 2009 - How to Write A Press Release For Search Engines

How to write a press release for search engines will be one of the topics featured in Business Wire's award-winning free webinar series in March. The popular session has been updated to incorporate how-to hints on Business Wire's new Press Release Builder, a free optimization tool that coaches those who write press releases to consider not just the writing but the technology that makes press releases effective.

"Our session on Press Release Optimization (PRO) details how to strike that delicate balance between writing for the Google bots and writing for real people," said Monika Maeckle, Vice President of New Media for Business Wire. "In other sessions, we explain why adding photos and graphics makes such a difference in press release performance."

The free webinars, attended by thousands of professional communicators since the series inception last year, are archived on Business Wire's home page.
