One thing is making a press release and sending it out.
Another thing is:
Will anyone publish it. And will that have any effect.
Published articles in printed magazines and newspapers are in most
cases without any effect at all.
I have had large full page features in computer magazines read by
half a million people and it could not be seen in my traffic.
And articles in large news sites will only have a big effect if you
are on the front-page.
When the link disappears from the front-page usually after a few
hours, traffic is gone.
What pays off is to get links published friday at sites who do not
update in weekends.
Like this one I had 2 weeks ago http://9.yahoo.com/2006/10/13
But this is something which demands full time constantly working on
promoting your site.
And for something like WWP you have to find new targets for your
press-release every time as you will not get the same to write again
and again.
I choosed last week to promote the Transportation by publishing a
panorama from one of the first participants Hubert Pawlowski as I
found it a very good example of what you can do as a complete
beginner in panoramas with a standard camera and a very cheap panohead.
