Default 1st PR Web Release

First of all I would like to say I have lurking in the background absorbing as much information as possible and these forums have SOOOO helpful. I feel like I am starting to get a feel for all of this. Thanks to all who contribute.

That being said, I am going to write my first article in the form a PRweb Press Release and was wondering if any of you had the time to review it before I posted it and tell me if I am on the right track or not. I have it written but want to post it here because it is kind of long for a post (480 words). I don't know the etiquette regarding this.

Let me know if any of you can help. Thanks.

You can post it here. Or host it somewhere hidden, and link to it. Your choice.

Just keep in mind, if you post it here, people might not read it

It's well written, grammatically correct, and has correct spelling.

A note though :"they perform all the tasks a traditional broker would."

You say that a few times. I'd take that out. It makes it sound like you aren't qualified to do what a 'traditional broker' does.

Maybe put a spin on it. Say that you're just like any other traditional broker, only you've gone the extra step in customer satisfaction. It means the same thing, only it has a positive connotation to it, as opposed to the negative denotation your version had.

Otherwise, it's nice

Great, thanks for the advice. I will definately change that. Do you think it is OK to have 4 links to my site with in the article or is that too many?

I'd make either Carmel or Fishers be a link. No need to link two suburbs

But the main site, the MLS, and one more link is good I think. Not to much, and each link it to a site where people will want to go.

I think it sounds good - definitely written well. I agree w/ Brandon that you should take some kind of spin on it. Remember - the whole point of press releases is to link bait. A common theme among the full service discounters is "due to advances in technology we're able to offer the same services at a fraction of the price." Think about your audience - tech savvy people - I think they would definitely appreciate that take on it.

Just my opinion. You have a great article, but PRWeb is expensive, so it always pays to revise!
