Oh wow - I apologize for the delayed response - I just found this! I prefer to stick with no more than 3 anchor text links and a max of 2 URL links (One to a homepage, and one to an internal page if the press release refers to something on an internal page). The URL links should exist just in case the PR is republished on a site that doesn't include anchor text.
In terms of the anchor text links, I don't think its 'bad' if all 3 link to the homepage, but I usually have 2 that link to the homepage and one linking to an internal page.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
