Hi Lori, since I pay a flat, monthly fee to Fast Pitch! (instead of paying for every press release I send), I send them about anything I can think of. The things you’ve listed are perfect. It’s not news to the media but when you use the right keywords, your Google rankings improve for those searches. So when people are looking for your service, expertise, or product, you’ll start to show up.

For instance, when it was reported that then President-Elect Obama was addicted to his BlackBerry, I wrote a press release with tips about how to cure the addiction. Within a week, when you type “cure BlackBerry addiction” in Google, my site showed up on the first page. This leads to all kinds of media interviews.

Hope this makes sense. Go ahead and be as shameless as you can be.
