(I don't blame them!)<BR/>Looking at the study, and realizing that PR Newswire is the biggest name in the industry as well as being around the longest, of course their numbers will be bigger simply due to the fact that they have more clients hence have more pickup.<BR/>Third, SEO is a HUGE deal, and what I think you were trying to say is that the traditional press release will still live, but SEO can live with it. Every day, more and more journalists are going online to find press releases. So if you can make your press release more searchable on the internet the better. <BR/>SEO and Social Media are some of the BIGGEST differences (besides cost) that differentiate the newswires, and in my opinion Marketwire has the upper hand there.<BR/>Finally with PR Web, there is a reason why they are called pr WEB. The company relies on people coming to their site to find news and only distributes news to the internet unless you pay a lot more, in which case you might as well use a commercial newswire who already have the relationships established that PR Web does not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673567.post-48920594722243058492008-09-25T14:56:00.000-05:002008-09-25T14:56:00.000-05:00Interesting results.However, it's also interesting...Interesting results.<BR/><BR/>However, it's also interesting to note that there was no comparison with PRWeb, who I still feel offer one of the best services anywhere for online PR distribution.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't mind seeing how PR Newswire compares to PRWeb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673567.post-89405873950630166912008-09-24T11:00:00.000-05:002008-09-24T11:00:00.000-05:00Dave -I love the way you set up the mini-site with...Dave -<BR/><BR/>I love the way you set up the mini-site with feeds! Great work - great information. The use of social media is proliferating at an uncomprehensible rate - especially for those of us who were not raised with the "Web." Keep up the great work.<BR/><BR/>- Ginathe pr lawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864806215335800008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673567.post-15940813108332922722008-09-24T08:35:00.000-05:002008-09-24T08:35:00.000-05:00Gina -- Thanks for the post, and for referencing t...Gina -- <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post, and for referencing the study. The conversations spawned out of this research -- in blogs and on Twitter -- have been really interesting.<BR/><BR/>- DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
