After you have used local media to establish yourself, you are much more likely to be taken seriously and viewed as an expert in national and international media.

The man behind the MillionDollarHomePage site actually did make a million by selling a million pixels at $1 a piece for advertising. He wouldn't have done it though had a local journalist found out about it and made his site gain traction. Mainstream media can do wonders if you can get it.

With archives going back over 15 years, many of the sites are no longer going. In fact, I think it's a masked link even (through their traffic tracking). No point to get SEO friendly text, it'd confuse people. James - Couldn't agree more, nobody ever gets any attention sat in their home! Chris - A press page shouldn't be aimed at readers, it should be aimed at the press, they're the ones who will use them. Josh - Glad you liked it! The local business does work well, as you can get leads & contacts from them as well. Very good at getting hits! Izzat - That's great news! Kai – BBC Traffic is nofollowed & with good reason.
