Many of my clients get excited about the power of press releases to attract media attention, generate sales and move a site higher in search engines.

One of the great secrets of the Web is that with a killer online press center, you'll be able to attract many more editors and reporters to your company Web site, and generate many more stories about your firm in the news media. The trick to putting together such an online presence is knowing how to trigger story ideas, knowing how to relentlessly promote what you're offering, and being sure to post the equivalent of a neon 'welcome' sign for members of the press who stop by.
