In a nutshell: Find a list of press releases that are successful so as to glean a winning method.
So, to help you gain better exposure and reach on MyPR I suggest that you look at the Top 40 most consistently visited press releases on MyPR to start you journey.
As you read each release take note of:
- Title
- Subject
- Tone
- Keywords and Placement
- Length
- Links out
- Featured/Free
- Structure
Those who know me will nod their heads sagely when they hear me bang on about content as it must be; helpful, solve a problem, entertaining and use famous/topical names or places when appropriate. But, I have found that the releases with the most longevity answer questions.
Summary of the data below:
- These releases are the TOP 40 MOST READ in the past three months
- 62.5% are PAID FOR
- 37.5% are FREE
- Oldest is from: 15 December 2012

- In total there are 5 830 Paid For Press Releases on MyPR (19.67% of the total)
