On websites like http://www.PRWeb.com/ you can publish a news item with information about your website. Internet marketers from all niche markets have achieved incredible success, both in terms of search engine ranking and the traffic and attention generated by publishing a press release or news story.

Here you will find a simple but effective format for press releases:

1) For immediate publication or "For publication on ...".

2) Convincing headline

Your press release needs to grab the attention of your prospects quickly. Now is not the time to try to be funny, which can lead to confusion. Make sure your title is meaningful and direct. If you want to get some ideas from successful titles, look at existing press releases and make notes that will help you create your own.

3) Hanger for the first paragraph

Your first paragraph is extremely important and must captivate the reader or you will quickly lose their attention. Include the "who, what, where, why and wherefore" in your first paragraph for best results. Cut superfluous text and keep things on track. Make sure you emphasise the most important aspects of your press release in the first paragraph.

4) Main part

Continue the body of your text around the first paragraph and keep it exciting, entertaining and interesting. Keep the momentum going!

5) Contact information

Be sure to include a postal address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address and, of course, the URL of your website.

6) Finish your press release with three ### symbols indicating in the professional publishing world that this is the end of your press release. Be sure to proofread your press release before publishing and have a friend look it over to make sure it reads smoothly and is understandable, even to someone unfamiliar with your niche market or website.
