Your information is absolutely spot on. Twitter and Social Media are the “new kids on the block” but you must still keep on using the more trusted methods because for one thing they are reliable. Also you get the people who are interested in what you have to offer. Whereas Twitter tends to be more a “Social” network in the true sense of the word.

If you’re referring to writing and distributing a press release when you “launch” a new page at your website, the answer is, “it depends.” Here are cases when I’d write a press release about something new that I’ve added at my website:

–A new article

–A new product or service

–A freebie that anyone can claim. I give dozens of examples of these kinds of freebies in “Special Report #51: 55 Free Things You Can Offer to Generate Publicity or Capture People’s Email Addresses” at http://www.publicityhound.com/publicity-products/reports.html

–A video I’ve created

There are lots more examples, of course.

Thumbs up post on press release. I’ve never use press release before but after read through your post, I should have start a press release. Do we need to write a press release once a new page is launched?

Thanks for this. I’ve never used press releases as I’ve always had a problem paying for publicity, links, etc. However I think I’ll give it a shot on a trial basis. Good information.

I really appreciate your mention of linking to landing pages. This is such an important key, it ensures congruence between the press release content, the expectations of the reader and the impact that crucial first message of your website has on the reader. Although, I don't promote the service, as an internet marketer I often recommend and offer press releases for my smb clients. I just signed up for your newsletter.

You are the Queen of Constantly Useful Information. Expert indeed. Nice how old school stuff (articles, press releases) continue serving a useful purpose in gaining audience awareness. Lather, rinse, repeat … electronically.

Your Publicity Hound e-letter remains a valuable read (and for more than the occasionally hysterical dog joke, too!)

The internet simply is the greatest invention since Gutenberg’s printing press. Glad to have met you here.
