To minimize the number of variables during the test, engine-ius Press Release Services will utilize only one of its Press Release Distribution networks (PR Web). This Press Release serves as a test to measure the validity of using News Releases in conjunction with media events. After the results are analyzed and reported, one will be able to see the positive effects that Press Releases hold. We propose that there will be an increase in: (i.) the number of back links generated, (ii.)
