Experiment: BlogaPro releases a Press Release
Category: 
In a previous article, I mentioned that the most effective way of quickly getting listed/cached by Google’s bot was to publish a press release through a third party.
Last night, I took the time to write an official press release. The short article was published last night (at midnight pacific-time) through prweb.com.
I decided to release the article for two main reasons:
- To use the press release as a vehicle to promote BlogaPro
- As an experiment in determining the effect the press release would have not only on my traffic but on my search engine rankings.
In about two weeks from now, I’ll discuss the effects that the PR had on BlogaPro.
If you would like to get in on the experiment, I suggest joining BlueHost (if you don’t already have a hosting account). A new hosting account with BlueHost will entitle you to a free press release on prweb.com (a $40+ value).

Been wondering myself if PRWeb is a good thing to put time into. Looking forward to the report on your results…

Familiar name
Yup, I’ve already picked up some nice links through the press release. It works wonders, but there are some tips which I will divulge in my follow-up post. I learned quite a bit…
