Great list of free press release distribution websites. It is very very useful for us. thank you so much…
Free PR services aren’t the way to go. Google’s Hummingbird, Panda, and Penguin took care of any link-building opportunities there. Sorry, guys, but traditional PR’s the way to go.

😛 And, if you are writing on other online sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
The text in the latest press release article should not be optimized for SEO if you want media outlets to pick it up. Using prweb is only good if you have a real news release to promote.
Super top list my friend! Thanks for sharing.
Going public is a service that relies heavily on press releases to generate new members. We sell the benefits of reverse merger, how to raise capital, Public shell, how to Go public, private placements, ipo process and find that customers do not stick, so we need to keep refining our PR process to generate new business.
Thanks for the great list. I just want to ask you about Sharewellnewswire.com. Sharewell Newswire offers paid press release distribution services. It will be a pleasure if you add Our Website in Your PR database.
Thank goodness I bought my press release before the other guys started using it.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.
@Makenzie if you distribute press releases, make sure to include rel=author and at least 3 links back to your website.
I am webmaster for Marketpressrelease.com Please include our site to your list of free PR sites. Here are some reasons why you may include our site to your list. Our site now has a good Google rank, same as popular PR sites like PR.com. We also enjoy moderate traffic of around 2000 visitors per day. We have also recently moved to a virtual private server resulting in better user experience and response time. I swear that this site will remain free forever (though we have to offer additional non intrusive services to make some bucks).
I kindly request you to include our site to your list of free press release sites.

@ben we would be happy to review your software if you would like to send a copy.
I found submitting press to msn is very helpful, as they will publish anything (just like the Huffpo). This is a very comprehensive list.
This is great! Thanks for posting these free pr news placement sites.
Online PR is the goods, the press release outlet helped us double our traffic.
My new communications site
is up and running! Would you help me share this site with your visitors
looking for PR distribution outlets.
After hearing stories from several colleagues and students, I saw the
need for a communications education resource on the web. As a result, I
designed to include a comprehensive
listing of schools offering a degree in Communications as well as practical
information on possible careers in the field.
Its a nice list of resources to distribute PR.
I must say thank you for this great list but it is hard to keep up with changes.

Press releases will slowly fade away as people consume news from facebook friends.
Thanks for the PR news site ideas, these are good for creating viral content.
Because there simply aren’t anywhere near enough free press release websites, I’ve set one up at http://www.releasewire.org/. Free media upload, free dofollow links, free automatic tweeting of posts. It’s new so no PageRank yet but I’ve tried to make the design less eye-bleeding than most of the other ones out there.
Also try http://www.mycompanypr.com – nice for b2b press
Informative and useful sites for fully SEO’d press release submissions.

Nice Press Release Listing :
“A press release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value. Examples include new product announcements, company awards, earnings reports, new sales, hiring of executive officers, scheduled events, product enhancements, legal updates, government legislation, political campaigns, and much more. Press Releases are typically sent by mail, fax, or email to the editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, and/or television networks. Commercial press release distribution services, such as FV Newswire, PressReleaseOnly, and FreePressRelease365, are also used to distribute them.”
I have experience in submitting press releases, Web designing, web researching, blogging,
data entry, SEO. We can help with PR web campaigns.
Here’s another to add to that list:
Post Free Press Releases.com
http://www.postfreepressreleases.com
Free account sign up, free press release submission, press releases published to the site immediately, and HTML links are allowed.
Cheers!
Very nice collection of high PR press release websites!
Very nice info, keep it up!
I am very fond of this stuff, and keep looking for that!
Not only this post, but other pages of this site were really very appreciative!
Thanks!
An effective design is worth a hundred words. And it’s a truth really, everyone pays attention to design.
Widepr.com is missing
it’s new and absolutely free to post press releases.
1. Free account: Are there more possibilities than just to log in and submit releases, e.g. to create a user or business profile or to handle multiple releases? To control the success of your submitted news it would be nice to have some user behavior statistics displayed.
2. Free directory: Is your profile (if offered) taking part in a searchable business or web directory for free?
3. Free submission: Is there a possibility choose a category and to add keywords? Do you have the chance to preview and edit your release before submission for free? Will it be released for free (usually within 24 hours) or is there a hidden charge (as known from many web directories) to get it out as soon as possible?
4. Free distribution: Does your free press release service offer a free xml news and sitemap feature to make your business news available for search engines and news sites like google or yahoo? Will your release be conditioned to get distributed thru 3rd parties via mail-to-friend, print, pdf-download and social bookmarking options?
5. Free link building: To expand your online visibility for free it should be possible to add clickable links into your press release and business profile within your free account.
6. Free image upload: To present you products and services well and to grab readers attention it might be usefull to add some images to your press release text and a logo for your company’s profile.
7. Free archiving: Your release should be filed in a searchable index to make it accessible for interested readers and designated customers.
Personally I think it is very nice to have a list of verified PR submitters after using a worthless article submission service. Thank you for sharing, I will retry my PR activities.
Hmmm, interesting I didnt realize there were so many places to submit pressreleases.
Download to see more PR resources. I did a mass paid submission and was disappointed with the results.
Probably the most effective PR system at the moment is targeted online press releases. It offers the most cost effective marketing solutions in the world and it only has a one time cost to send a press release to any news site in the world. The ability to send a press release to every search engine with the click of a button is revolutionary.
I’ve been doing some writing work with
http://www.ereleases.com and I think they’d be a good addition to your
list. Although they charge more than some sites, they offer more as
well–including distribution through PR Newswire for a couple hundred
bucks less than PR Newswire itself charges. I hope you’ll consider making
this addition to your post.
In any case, thanks very much for all the great resources! I’ve added your
site to iGoogle (I think I’m one of the four people in the world who
actually likes iGoogle) and will be checking back for new posts. I don’t
know where you find so many sites for your various lists posts, but
they’re very helpful!
Best,
Jelena Woehr
Thanks for listing PR-Inside.com. This is our favorite business for news distributions.
This is astonishing information and a great help for content promoters. I would like to ask the community for discount codes for the press release sites mentioned above.
Great post, I work in online advertising, so this list of website submission options is really helpful to me. Thank you!
We started localnews.biz (a free press release site) six years ago. The intent was for South Florida local news, but a majority of the submissions are global. Over 50% come from Europe an Asia. Feel free to use it.
We are developing a service for free press releases. Check our site soon for the release date.
Good content, is this like a sales site for something or is it your content, because it’s good.
Missing this great one from your list PRZOOM.com. Visibility is great, but articles MUST be business related. Great blog by the way!
D.
Hey Dave, thanks for the addition of PR Zoom!
