Has anyone used press releases as backlinks for a website and have you had success doing so?

Thanks,
Peacemaker;)

Hi Peacemaker - my guess is that it may give some initial traffic but it would be very quickly buried unless it was saying something different which made people link to it eg real pictures of bigfoot or elvis alive.

If you created lots of PRs through time they would have an additive benefit from the perspective of backlinks but the would have the greatest benefit if the PR were on different sites across the net using different content - my guess that this would still have a small effect

The best option is to work on your pages, to make them as search engine friendly as possible. Use some high quality keywords, and re-submit your site to the search engines about every month or two. Include some quality info, other than photos. Subject orientated content, brings up your search engine listings.

Find some good photography link pages, and submit there. I use Photo Clicks. Demoz is a waste of time, I have been trying to get a listing there for two years, no success. Time is the best alai  you have. After two years now, I am starting to see more visitors. But its still no landslide, I get  somewhere between 75 - 100 page hits a day. Not visitors, but combined page hits.
