Hi Kelvin (and Chris)
This debate has been going on for a while. But I do I find that many SEOs I talk to seem to have quite a good idea of how to use PR techniques for linkbuilding these days. By contrast, not many PRs are very comfortable about asking for links when approaching journalists and bloggers with content and contributions – which means that while they achieve media/blog coverage, the link gets forgotten.
Great podcast, i think podcasts are great ideas to help your pr. There are many challenges though that journalists face and thats why it’s so important to really be creative and think way outside the box when it comes to PR.
