For some reason I decided to take a closer look at your site, and have come to the conclusion that you are clueless when it comes to press releases and the value they provide to the company putting out the release.

Case in point, your review of the Gamelink press release.

I will be honest and admit that I did not read the entire release, as the point of my visit was to review your site, not the press releases found on it. So yeah, there may be grammatical errors, or misused punctuation, but you seem to miss the value/benefit of press releases.

Your questions prove this to me.:

1. Does it announce an exciting event?
2. Does it have the ability to generate wealth?
3. Will it simplify one?s life?
4. Does it address a previously unfulfilled need?
5. Does anyone really care?

Press releases hold a lot more value than just announcing exciting events, or providing a means for others to generate wealth, etc, etc, they provide an excellent means of link building.

Now, I realize that your site will probably never generate income, or get any kind of decent search engine ranking, but there are companies out there that do rely on the Internet and search engines to generate income. The smart companies realize that a major part of SEO is link building, and one way, incoming links from respected sites (such as a press release site like PRadult, PRWEB, XBiz, AVN or Klixxx) can do a lot to make this occur.

You scoff at the idea that someone might use GameLink and Gamelink in the same PR. Personally, if I wrote it I would have included Game Link as one of the options. You never know what search phrase a person might use.

I realize that it it is easier to tear something down than to build something up, but you should at least have a clue before you begin either.
