I seem to get a pretty good response from Press Method as well.</p>ChadMon, 16 Jun 2008 17:45:53 -0000http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/the-press-release-triple-threat/#comment-8131689<p>@Charlene - wow, pretty dramatic for a first time commenter don't you think?</p><p>Since you're worried about my readers and the kind of person I am go have a read here <a href="http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2007/10/07/the-proper-way-to-stalk-a-journalist/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2007/10/07/the-proper-way-to-stalk-a-journalist/">http://www.ducttapemarketin...</a></p><p>As for the allegedness of the tactic in this post, perhaps you should spend a little more time understanding the approach before you come unglued - go to Google News and type in any search. When you will do you will see that most of the results are from useful news tidbits, the kind I prescribed above and you will also find RSS feeds for that search that may turn up on thousands of websites that follow news in that industry.</p><p>This is not the only PR tactic I promote by any means, but it is an effective and useful online tactic that provides great results.</p><p>Let's try opening our mind before our mouth</p>ducttapeMon, 16 Jun 2008 16:01:08 -0000http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/the-press-release-triple-threat/#comment-8131688<p>Honestly, I don't know if I have EVER seen a news release pop up in Google search results.

I especially like the PRLog features. Also, everyone (PR groups, execs) does press releases a little differently, so it's nice to be able to at least compare a release against overarching formatting and rating systems.</p>LaurenSun, 15 Jun 2008 20:02:21 -0000http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/the-press-release-triple-threat/#comment-8131686<p>Thanks. Very good tips. I'll use them with one of my clients.</p>Tim RuebSat, 14 Jun 2008 21:07:00 -0000
