This is an obvious double standard from Google. But the good part is that Google does NOT know when you have received money for a certain link because you naturally link to other websites in your articles anyhow. It’s impossible to tell which links are paid for and which are not.

However, if you want to be on the safe side, when an agency approaches you next time, tell them that you can accept do-follow links as long as they allow you to post several other related links in the article…this way your story is much more natural from Google’s point of view and basically impossible to track down (unless you state it clear in the article that it’s part of a promotion)

If the announcement helps or offers a solution for my readers, then yes, I will gladly spread the word. But often I like to spin the announcement into something I could actually use. And by “spin” I mean take someone’s latest book announcement and ask the PR rep if the author would like to offer tips to my readers (moms-to-be or new moms) on the topic of their book. Rather than spreading the word about a book my readers may or may not be interested in, I use this method to add value to the content I publish and have the author’s book as a nice-to-know item, rather than the main focus.

When new products are released there will likely be a following behind that, and they tend to share information. So if you drop a press release and people start sharing it because its news they like, then you’ll get a lot of coverage for your blog.

Also – just want to point out that the first part of the article is my favorite. ALWAYS make sure you are genuine about your blog and posts.

Gosh, I wish I knew about the press release thing when I received my first random press release via email. The silliest thing I did was asked them if they sent it to the wrong person and if not what am I suppose to do with it. LOL.
