Just a few editors and journalists saw the release
You had to have significant news for a PR
The only way your buyers would learn about the press release’s
content was if the media wrote a story about it.
The only way to measure the effectiveness of press releases was
through ―clip books,‖ which collected every time the media deigned
to pick up your release
(David Meerman Scott, The New Rules of Marketing and PR, 2007)
Ye Olde PR Rules

happening;

landing pages on your website.
• Optimize press release delivery for searching and browsing.
