Is Optimizing Web Content The Same As Optimizing A Press Release?
Many business owners think that the process of optimizing a press release is the same process of optimizing a website. While there are some similarities, there are some differences as well.
Press releases, for instance, don’t need meta data. That is, unless you are also going to use them as website content. In other words, if you are going to write a press release and turn it into a page on your website then you should write meta tags for it. But if your press release is going to be submitted to press release directories then the meta tags will often be written by the directory managers. You won’t have to worry about it.
Also, with website content, design is very important for a page to look good and optimization is wrapped up in the design as much as in the content. With press releases, design is not so much a concern. But you might add additional elements like videos, photos, and other graphics. You might have to include those in your optimization efforts.
Both press releases and web pages need some level of optimization. How you go about it is slightly different for each, however.

That’s a good comparison between SEO for press releases and actual webpages. I was thinking of doing a pr for our new site, but with it being ecommerce enabled I want to make sure we have a solid inventory of products.
A very smart comparative statement!Press release is also a kind of advertisement though treated differently,its not so jazzy and appealing but contains real facts about the company, Which in turn helps to create positive image.
hey good points and comparison between webpages and press releases. press release can be also treated as a kind of advertisment cos it has to include some facts about company.
