Free Press Releases

Posted by Paul B | October 4, 2007 .

I suppose one of the advantages of working for a couple of “big boys” who like to throw some money around is that it gives me access to information and stats that can help with my own websites. As much as I’d like to be I’m not in a position to be spending high hundreds if not thousands of dollars on something that may or may not work. Managing this for somebody else is easy, guess I’m just a bit of a chicken! Take for example Press Releases, it is easily possible to spend hundreds of dollars getting your Press Release distributed (Just ask John Cow!) but is it really worth it? I don’t think so, there are plenty of places where you can have your release sent for free. Many people argue that the best distribution points (such as Google News and Yahoo News) do not pick up from these free news sources but that rubbish. You can have your press release distributed far and wide for free if you just know where to go.

Who Does Free Press Releases

Once you’ve had your press release written you will then need it distributing. These are the sites I’ve used in the past that will distribute for free. In my own experience the stats I have seen from several of these are equally on par with the distribution and take up that you see with an expensive PRWeb.com release!

www.prleap.com
www.pr.com
www.24-7pressrelease.com
www.pr9.net
www.malebits.com
www.free-press-release.com

I know there are lots more out there but that’s a pretty good list to get you started. Before you go and spend hundreds of dollars on your press release you might just want to think about using the free press release services that are available.

    There are thousands of free sources for everything on the net, but than we have to take a closeup look and see which one will not affect our site in a negative way.

    Thank you for this list Paul

    Err that’s what that list is. Reading the post will show that I’ve used those services on behalf of some big name companies with great results. Hence the post.

    Do you just send the same press release out to all the sites or write a different one for each site, or just alter it slightly?

    There is no problem with sending the same press release with each service but I’ve always adjusted them slightly, for no good reason thinking about it.
