Advanced Techniques - "Link Juice" for the Press Release:

Some of My Favorite PR Websites will send you a URL for a .pdf version of the press release. If you have a LinkedIn.com profile, add this URL as 1 of your Website links and be sure to label it in the "Other" category and name it after the Headline of the press release.

Wikipedia.com is one of the most search engine optimized web 2.0 sites in the world. Does your press release subject have a definition on Wikipedia? If so, add a link from the definition page to the URL for the HTML version of the press release. As a policy, Wikipedia does not allow advertising, but if you press release is news worthy and relevant then it will likely be accepted.
