If I created a quality press release or article with 4 to 5 keywords in it that I want to link to my Web site, where are the best places to submit and distribute that content?

Article sites don't allow the links in the content. PRWeb puts in on their site, but most other sites drop the hyperlinks. Anyone have any suggestions of QUALITY sites that would accept the content?

Nope. There's no such thing as a quality press release. They exist for news not keywords. Same with articles. Write something great and others will link to it or beg you to let them reprint it on their sites. If they don't then maybe it's not as good as you thought it was.

No doubt. If you write an article as a way to offer helpful information to those who come across it, like teaching them something new or explaining how something works, that has the potential to be of value, possibly even linkworthy.

If you are doing it simply to paste keywords and phrases into, chances are it's not going to be considered a quality article (other than poor quality).

Does it offer the reader something of value or was it created simply to use terms you would like the SE's to find you by?

How about adding useful content on your website itself?
Focus on having quality content and more legitimate links will come.

I agree with the above responses but would like to add that there is a method of developing quality links, superior to article and press release marketing, which may also give you more flexibility about what links you can include. It is guest blogging.
