IMO it all depends what you want to get out of the PR? Links? Saturation? Positive Impressions? Create Buzz?
If you’re just rolling the dice for links, you’re hitting 1-10 at best, so you might as well run it all though a Markov generator and dump it all over the place as comment spam, you’ll have just as much luck.
If you’re looking for saturation, I suggest doing one or two a week and have them translated, you will save time on writing, and still get a high number of important brand reference points with a much more diverse audience.
If you are looking for Positive Impressions, I would suggest trying to lay one earth shattering PR a week and nail it hard in Social Media and News (i.e. Digg, Reddit, Boing Boing, Stumble Upon.
If you want to keep a buzz, you need to blow it up daily with articles, tagged re-hashed images from social, free flash games, videos, jokes, quotes, whatever it takes to get the hits.
So I guess all I’m saying is, it’s not about How often as much as it is about, Who, What, Why, Where, When, and why care. :notify:
hi there, can someone confirm if it’s a good idea to submit the same article to 100s of article sites/directories or is it better to write 2-3 unique ones and just submit it to 2-3 sites?
thanks,

Its not the number of places you submit it to that’s the key…
The key is to be sure you have a link embedded (at least one) and mention the URL (in case someone strips the article), and first and foremost, whenever I write a press articel I put it un an un-reachable page. Then I add it to the top of my xml sitemap and manually submit it through Webmaster Central. Once I see Google has crawled it I link it through my site wherever I would have originally. This assures me that I will get the credit for it and not be pinged for duplicate content or take the risk that I get crawled or scraped by an bad people before Google sees its mine and give me credit for it.

sure, but i mean – is it a good idea to use the article submitter that will submit your article with a back-link to 100s directories or would that be classified by google as duplicate content and affect my website rankings?
as for hawaii let me look into that you jet setter!
No you won’t be penalized as long as Google sees it and indexes it on your site FIRST. Then go ahead and submit it.

Out of interest, what are the top ‘Hollywood’ terms in gaming?
Is there a top 20 list out there?
It would be good to know the terms I should NOT be going for – i.e. the ones I have no chance of competing for
Cheers

Go for the low-hanging fruit…they covert better and Google sees that and rewards you.
Wow, so the best terms are still single words?
I don’t think I can remember the last time I used a single word in a search, unless it was a unique brand/company name or similar
Cheers
Low hanging fruit would be any longtail terms that convert for you.
No, your never goiong to rank top 10 for poker or bingo. Those are my clients and they spend £50k per month to be there.
Target the “low hanging fruit” like a specific game name or niche.
Cheers
I guess the thing is, that if you rank number one for the term “poker”, by default you will also rank very high up for terms like “online poker” “play poker online” and similar
At the moment, I tend to go for the fruit that have fallen on the floor and smell slightly unpleasant.
The flies and ants seem to enjoy it, though…

Human nature is the the path of least resistance….If you typed “poker” and got the result you were looking for why would you continue?

Flies have pocket money too – but they convert better because you were at the top for “free bets online casino”.
