LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- With more people finding press releases through search engines than the news media, online press rooms provider iPressroom has introduced a portfolio of SEO services for PR (http://ipressroom.com/seo-for-pr) to ensure organizational communications including press releases, media advisories, fact sheets, backgrounders, executive biographies, online video, online audio, podcasts and images can be found easily through search engines.
"With advertisers abandoning mainstream media for user generated content, the news hole is shrinking, leaving fewer reporters to cover company news," said Eric Schwartzman, founder of iPressroom. "Natural search engine optimization represents the largest untapped opportunity for PR to deliver value online. Our SEO services for PR are a practical solution for PR practitioners to get their press releases search engine optimized before they send them out."
