I’m having trouble getting my asbestos websites news approved by some of the press release sites.
Its just that i don’t think we have anything newsworthy to talk about.

What do you guys think should another medium of SEO would be more appropriate?

For press release distribution that’s only online or both online and email to reporters, that’s affordable and offers incredible customer service, check out PR NewsChannel http://www.prnewschannel.com. It was created by journalists… Just my two cents…

PRLOG is a romanian owned business. 90%+ is really crap as well as i-newswire. If you run a serious business and do not want your content been melted amongst viagra or breast augmentation and other stupid things, I recommend not using these even it is free.

Hi Robyn,

I’m not familiar with them. I looked at their site. Do they offer online release distribution? It appears they have a number of interesting software packages, but I don’t see one that does that.

This is not a recent post… but since it turns up well on search engines i’d like to mention that there’s another that was not mentioned: PRNewsChannel http://www.prnewschannel.com. It has developed an impressive list of sites that syndicates its content and offers email distribution in addition to online distribution for backlink purposes.

Hi Tammy,

First off, you should follow the link in red at the top of this post. There is an updated version of this review. Second, in that review and in this older one, I did review PR Newswire.

Hi Steve,

Thank you very much, I am just looking for a press release distribution site, I have just contacted PRnewswire,and found it is a nice site,but it is a bit expensive, I came here and found more people like PRweb. can you take some time to review PRnewswire? I had some statistics about PRweb and PRnewswire, there are big difference, expecially the google backlink of the two sites.

Site PR Alexa Compete Rank Link
Prweb.com 7 10,070, 1,913 587,000
PRNewswire.com 7 7,646, 1,832 4,980,000

Just wondering if any of you know a service that can help me issue a press release in other languages. I want to issue a press release in Spanish and French. Thanks in advance for your help:)

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your fantastic review. I have been trying to find a reliable PR resource for sometime now and I appreciate your advice.

I am actually looking for a good PR release website where i can pay for a subscription for unlimited press releases. I googled some sites and some of these came up:

1. emailwire.com
2. pressmediawire.com

They claim to distribute to major new agencies as well as to journalist. Has anyone of you tried these and works?

Thanks a lot!
James

I just came upon your reviews and want to thank you. Also, I’d
like your overview of another distribution site called PR.com.

Glad it helped, Louise.

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t know a thing about CNW. I looked over their site and their offerings appear to be very deep — almost comparable with PRWeb or PR Newswire. But, I can’t speak to their effectiveness.

TO EVERYONE: An updated version of this review is coming out VERY soon!
