30 Best Press Release Distribution Sites Revealed

By Lorrie Walker , on July 13, 2010 | Go to comments

Updated on May 8, 2013 (we replaced 11 websites from the previous list.)

Press release distribution was the focal point of 2009 link-building campaigns. Many high-end SEO companies used this technique to:

1-     Provide their clients with a presence on Google News

2-     Drive more targeted traffic to their clients’ sites

3-     Obtain high-quality inbound links.

We were no exception. We used press releases extensively. We even spent countless hours researching and testing different press release distribution sites and prepared the list below. This list will help you identify the best press release distribution sites and only submit to those that are worth while – saving much time, money and energy in testing them yourself.

Note: you need a standard high-quality press release before submitting to these sites, or your release will be rejected.

    It’s very important to get link from this sites to get a good place in Google search engine, but it more important to understand reaching to a good place in Google search engine is just the first goal, it’s more important to have a goal and budget plan to save the position,otherwise your competitors will take away your place after one or two month.

    Great list. I am considering OnlinePrNews.com and Pr.com.

    Does anyone have an idea about PrBuzz.com though? . It’s very cheap, but I am not sure if it’s any good. I would appreciate your feedback.

    Thanks.

    I have the same question. PR Buzz is on the most major newspaper websites feeds along with businesswire, market wire, etc. You just never hear a thing about them. Where do they rank on this list?

    I never done press release marketing or distribution but now after read your post and got these awesome source of press release marketing. I heard a lot about the importance of press release that it is very helpful to enhance our online presence and to get good business.

  34. February 21st, 2013 at 10:56 | #34

    Appreciate the work you put in to create this list. But do you use all of these sites? I have an account with PRBuzz, and they do a pretty good job distributing my press releases.

    I also see very often in Google SERPS prweb pages, so I guess it is worth using them to publish a PR. It has a nice PR as well, so some link juice will pass to your site.

  35. March 18th, 2013 at 23:55 | #35

    Hi, Thanks for the list. I wanted to know if I can submit on all of these website from India.

    Hi Lorrie, this is one of the more comprehensive list of press release vendors i have seen. Thank you so much for aggregating this list and also including pricing, which seems to be what a lot of other site aggregators are missing. It’s also important to note some of the larger press release vendors have package deals that can be economical when spread over multiple clients. This is a great deal for marketing agencies similar to ours. -makeitmindful

    You notably forgot to mention Send2Press.com,. which was the first newswire to promote SEO with PR (check archive.org); and offers both notable online placement, anchor link support, hand-submit to social media, and exclusive placement in the Neotrope News Network of sites (e.g., CaliforniaNewswire.com etc.).

  41. April 18th, 2013 at 20:57 | #41

    I am new to PR, just did my site ( http://newlaunchatsg.com); with this information it aided me a lot more than finding one by one and testing it. This is indeed an excellent list and very useful. Thanks for the great PR list.

    Best Regards,
