Jiyan,

These changes look great – will definitely make it easier to use.

Personally, I’m pumped about the improved SEO and increased traffic to press releases and our websites.

Thanks so much for the sneak peek!

Jiyan–
I’m not sure how this would look…honestly I don’t publish my releases on PRWeb for people who go to your site to read releases. It’s everywhere else people go. You know I like the newsroom functionality so if you’re talking about creating something that I as a PR firm can use, I’m in (and will happily review it on my blog).

I like the focus on organizing news by vertical – ultimately, this should help with SEO for clients and make similar news items easier to find for those browsing news by category. It will be interesting to see what kind of effect this has on SE visibility, seems to me that PRWeb news releases are already pretty visible since they typically come up very high on searches in G and Y news.

A couple other things to consider which could further benefit online visibility: allow for additional category/subcategory selection options, and using the category/subcategory terms in the url’s.

Looking forward to seeing the new platform in action!

Lee…thanks for the feedback. We couldn’t have come up with this sort of plan without you guys.

Janet…maybe we’ll do that just for you ;)

Clark…appreciate the support. I’m glad someone who knows the SEO Game really well can get behind the architectural restructuring.

Jiyan,
As usual, impressive work here. I think your emphasis on the verticals is a great move and will actually provide more SEO benefits to users by making the content more relevant to the subject matter, which is the name of the game. I think it will also help you fully realize your goal of providing a solid, dedicated content destination for users and consumers – most of which now get their news online. Good stuff man!

Jiyan,
Glad to hear about these changes – it will make the site much easier to navigate.
Now, any chance of including next day distribution on $80 press releases? (if they’re in before 5pm).
Just thought I’d try.

Great progress Jiyan, it will be great to see the updated architecture and subsequent impact on release visibility go into action.
