Shoemoney.com’s latest blog post BuddyTV Launches Fantasy League Reality TV is a great example of how bloggers can add more context to a conversation that was sparked by a press release – embed the press release within the post using PRTube.

I am big Top Chef fan so I can’t wait for next season to start using BuddyTV’s Reality TV. You can read more about BuddyTV’s Fantasy TV in the PRTube below and see it in action at buddytv.com/ftv.

Today we’re excited to tell you about our new easier and secure checkout process on PR Leap. Wednesday, we implemented Braintree Payment Solutions on PRLeap.com, which streamlines the checkout process to just 3 easy steps:

1) Submit a press release;
2) Choose a Distribution Package;
3) Checkout on prleap.com.

It’s that easy.

CREDIT CARD ON FILE
The next time you send out a press release, you can checkout using the credit card on file. Enter the information once, use it again and again. No more having to track down your manager for the company card. It’s on file.

SECURITY
We chose Braintree Payment Solutions because of their great reputation, and because they made the investment to get through the compliance process. This allows us to store your credit card information in their vault and when you checkout the second time you are actually making a request to process a transaction from their vault.

PAYPAL
We still accept PayPal. We understand some of you are more comfortable using PayPal. We will continue to offer both solutions for a period of time.

In July we were mentioned on SearchEngineWatch.com in an article titled: Press Releases and Search Engine Optimization.

PRLeap. This newest and least expensive outlet also has the fewest press releases being submitted on a daily basis, and is great for smaller businesses. My company has successfully distributed press releases through this channel into Google’s universal results.” By Mark Jackson, Search Engine Watch, Jul 29, 2008

We’d like to add to the article that our service is actually great for any business (small to big) that wants to send out a social media press release and save over $200 in the process as compared to the other 3. For more details, visit our pricing page at: http://www.prleap.com/pricing

Tuesday, we announced that you can add tags to a press release when you purchase a social media plan. Yesterday, we transmitted the first press release with the new tag feature on PR Leap, AMPM Medical Billing and Practice Management Announces Sponsorship of Hospital Medicine 2008.

To help illustrate what happens when you assign tags to a press release, we will use the AMPM Medical Billing and Practice Management release.

First, the press release is posted to del.icio.us under each of the tags you assign to the press release on PR Leap.

PR Leap Posts Press Releases to del.icio.us with Tags
Result: Your announcement is visible when searching del.icio.us for your tags, and it is included within the del.icio.us RSS feed for your tags.

Second, we place the tags you added to your press release in the keywords meta tag on the live press release.

PR Leap utilizes tags on press release
Result: Your news receives a relevance boost on search engines that utilize the keywords meta tag.

Also, Yahoo has been testing integration of data from delicious on search result pages.

Yahoo tests integrating del.icio.us tag information on search result pages

If Yahoo rolls out this change, your press release is already set to benefit from it.

Tags are the first of many new features we will add to PR Leap’s social media plans. Tag away!

P.S. You can add tags to old releases as well, as long as you purchased one of our social media plans: Premium or Plus.

Enter Tags
Last night we launched a new feature that makes it possible to post your press release to del.icio.us, which has over one million visitors per month, using the tags you assign it. Those same tags are also used as keyword meta tags on your press release to help those search engines that still use them.

Tags are bundled with our social media plans: Premium and Plus. You can assign up to 10 tags with your purchase of our Premium Plan; and up to 5 tags with the purchase of a Plus plan.

To add tags to a press release:

1. Submit press release;
2. Purchase Premium or Plus plan;
3. Click “Add Tags” on right menu;
4. Enter comma, separated, tags;
5. Click Submit.

Note: You may change them or delete them at any time.
