Here is my review Overall : no traffic, yes indexed pages(PR), and poor communication.
Order was made Sat June 11th. Was contact right-away and was told that because of the weekend it will take a little longer. This is fair - So far so good
Have not heard from him till I email him Tue June 14th , got a fast respond with the PR draft. PR was high-quality and asked for fixed some mistakes, this was done.
Since then I have not heard from him when when the PR was submit or went live(after approval) I saw it only a few click here and then nothing really to go crazy about.
As I have some experience with PRs I know that a good PRs sites do send traffic, and if they're paid ones that usually good and do send traffic. So I was despondent to see that I there was no traffic coming from the PR.
Report : Have not got a report, to be honest, I have not even asked for him a report, but I think you should get a full report with the promise he made with out even asking for it. So very POOR on this one. However I checked SBwire & Emailwire and the PR was there.
Bottom line : Promise was made but for that price I was accepting to receive more including traffic, so maybe other people did got traffic but I doubt it, as I said I have some experince with PRs.
Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked the actual press release.
Traffic we can not control. It depends highly on your niche/topic. We can put the PR out there in front of people. It's up to them if they think it fits in with their website or not and want to include it. From there they do get a lot of views/reads. But we can't make people always click through to your website. Some do very very well. Others Not. Same as PR's have always been, even back in the day where you faxed or snail mailed your PR. 95% of the time is was just discarded.
At least this method does definitely get you in google news, plus on the PRM website, the sbwire website and the emailwire website. (not one press release has ever stopped there though. It always gets picked up by plenty more)
Press Releases (real press releases) should not be treated the same as article marketing which I think a lot of people do.
For a lot of you the main benefit of this service is for all the in content backlinks, and it's the reason we do most of our Press Releases because it is perfect for that.
But it's also great for businesses. If you give us all your correct details. It could land you in magazines, newspapers, even being talked about on the radio. It's up to you how you choose to take advantage of this great service.
I stand by our methods as we did our research before we started. Testing many distribution networks and methods before settling with using both SBwire and Emailwire. A lot of people talk highly of PRweb they from the three we ordered from them during testing they did no better than Emailwire does alone.
We have also mentioned in this thread that after submission you will not get any kind of a report. This is because there is no way for us to give a "full report" We can only tell you to check Google as it shows a large portion of the sites that have picked up your PR very quickly (within a few days of submission usually)
But it never really stops. Even some PR's over a year old still get picked up by new sites. So yet again. There is no final report and we have stated this.
