30 Best Press Release Distribution Sites Revealed

Updated on July 13, 2010 (we added 15 new websites to 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.

    This is a good list of information. I will share this with my class.
    Thank you.

    Nice collection of web sites. Very usefull, thank you for sharing with us.

  3. January 10th, 2011 at 22:21 | #3

    This is exactly what I was looking for. I have been searching Internet for PR solutions to have a PR written and submitted to Google and ideally costs overview at the same time. I don´t trust organic search so much anymore regarding offer of services, but reviews like yours are so cool! For me, right now, by far the most trusted source of information. Thanx again:o)

    You missed http://www.mycompanypr.com this site offers free b2b press release submission. All posts are reviewed by an editor.

  5. January 12th, 2011 at 08:46 | #5

    Good list. Having looked into PRFire’s backlinks, it looks like it’s serviced by a massive network of spam websites. This disappoints me.

    Tried something new: full twitter integration, links and media upload at http://www.releasewire.org, but it is still new. Hopefully will see the support to build its PageRank – it’s only a month old.

  6. January 31st, 2011 at 12:21 | #6

    What an excellent post! I was looking for something just like this too; I was needing to look into some press releases for my small business, but with good reputation. Thank you so much for sharing this!

  15. July 6th, 2011 at 15:12 | #15

    Found some I didn’t know about.
    Prlog.org, the number of URLs they allow depends on the number of characters in your press release. It’s got to be darn long to get 3.

    Press release distribution service is a great way to do this in addition to SEO to generate back links to enable you to warn people about news products, services, goods and websites.

  24. August 10th, 2011 at 09:26 | #24

    How do you submit news for earthtimes.org? I just signed up with prlog.org, I guess I will see how that works out. Does anyone know how many different press releases you can distribute through different portals? Or is that duplicate content from different presses?

  25. August 24th, 2011 at 02:26 | #25

    Press release exposes companies very quickly.

  26. September 7th, 2011 at 10:01 | #26

    Great collection adding the prices is very useful too. I think Press Releases works amazing for local businesses. They offer great citation and backlinks.

    thanks for sharing

  32. October 4th, 2011 at 00:11 | #32

    Press releases can be worth it in a lot of cases. My advice is to keep them at a conservative pace. Utilize a good piece when there’s something newsworthy and maintain credibility.

  33. October 31st, 2011 at 02:28 | #33

    Really sorts out the good from the bad and the expensive. You clearly get what you pay for.

  34. November 5th, 2011 at 06:17 | #34

    I believe Pr.com is very good website for this, moreover it is free.

  35. November 14th, 2011 at 19:38 | #35

    This shows that Ali is a giver!

  36. November 24th, 2011 at 21:54 | #36

    Hello. I wanted to give you a note to verbalize my thankfulness. I have been watching your blog posts for a month, and have gained a ton of excellent tips, and have appreciated the way you have built your website’s posts. I’m going to make my blog, however, I feel it is too general and I need to concentrate more on particular issues.

  43. January 14th, 2012 at 10:56 | #43

    This is an excellent list, was looking for something like this on Google, thanks!
