What's the difference between BACKLINKS vs PRESS RELEASES?

[condorit]

Ok guys, good quality guest posts and backlinks... they cost! I'm avoiding all marketplaces and pbns because they're not ok with my money sites (low quality, foreign language).

What about press releases? I can find them both in english and my local language at a good price.

But I can't understand the difference, it's only a name that reflects the fact that there are no ARTICLES but PRESENTATION of the brand?

If this is the reality, a Press Release could be only another name to naming a pbn, in fact what will make differences is the website where thos press releases will be posted

Or there is another difference I can't understand?

PR links are nofollow, But a high quality PR can bring high quality links.

Not a good way to talk about your money site <joking>.

PRs are good for backlinks, these can remain in place for years.

However don't confuse these with media outreach services such as this https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/media-coverage-top-10-u-s-newspapers-authority-links-feature-interview-coverage.1113728/page-3#post-12115324

Why promote a low quality site ?

Even if you get it ranked then people will come, see a crappy site and leave to search for the high quality site about the topic that is guaranteed to exist....

Then your bounce rate will skyrocket and google will drop your site.

Why not start out with a GREAT site. Once you build one you will not have ranking problems because a lot of your SEO will be done for free by your visitors when they share and discuss your quality site on their social networks, producing all the social signals and backlinks you need to rank....

The goal of link building is to increase the number of external websites that link to your site. This increases your page’s credibility and results in higher search engine rankings.

If you’ve had an SEO strategy for any length of time, then chances are you’ve worked on building backlinks to your site. What you may not realize, however, is that your company’s public relations team can be a powerful resource for building links.

Let’s take a closer look at why your company should use press release SEO to build your backlinks.
