While it isn’t necessary to understand the system programming of these algorithms into browsers, it is important to know the effect on content ranking and site traffic.

Four Ways to Create the Perfect Press Release
Brevity is the underlying factor in the perfect press release. There are four ways to create the perfect press release:
. Avoid unnecessary words in press release content
. Use powerful keywords prudently
. Compare browser algorithm indexing for keywords to press release content
. Insure press releases are concise and free of errors in grammar, punctuation, facts and chronological time
The perfect press release title should contain the most definitive keywords that describe the content briefly. The first sentence of the press release should always answer the questions, “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “why,” and “how,” as applicable. The first sentence should be concise, with keywords embedded. It should encourage readers to continue reading.
Online press release content demands brevity. Total word counts for these press releases shouldn’t exceed more than 400 words with two to six percent keyword saturation.
Use paragraphs when changes in content focus or direction occurs. Avoid unnecessary use of articles like “the” and “a” to keep press releases from exceeding word counts. Perfect press releases are proofread and free of errors. Fact check all content for spelling of proper names and chronological time. Insure the order of facts is concurrent to actual time sequence.
Before releasing an article, read the article objectively as a member of the reading audience to determine level of quality.
