Free Press Release Syndication Resources

by Jack Humphrey on Jun 14

To continue with Link Building on a Budget Part 4, where I talked about doing press releases, I thought it would be nice to start a thorough listing of all the press release resources I have in my bookmarks.

Nice for me too, since all this stuff was spread all over the place on my computer. Now it’s nicely organized!

This is a work in progress and should grow to a very big resource over time.

Press Release Courses

Marc Harty’s authoritative press release course. I saw Mark at the Traffic Tactics Workshop in San Diego and the man knows things… big time things … about press release strategies. His course pays for itself in sheer traffic and authoritative links almost immediately after you do your first release using his tactics.

Sites That Accept Press Releases

Below are the lists I have on sites that accept press releases.

Add Your Resources Below!

I know this list of resources can be much larger, and I will come back to this post and update it with your input below in the comments. Have a great resource for press releases that isn’t listed here? Submit it and I will get it in the list.

    I just wanted to add PRLeap.com to the list. I have used them for a while and am very pleased with their distribution. I know you are probably looking for large lists of sites, but I just feel like this one can stand alone.

    Hey Jack,

    thanks for this great list! The only resource I don’t see mentioned is przoom.com.

    Hey Jack,

    Thanks for the kind words. Those links are excellent, in depth resources. Allow me to add some context:

    - Pick a couple providers you have good success with.
    I like PR Web and one of the “2nd tier providers” like
    PRleap.com, Send2Press.com and a few others

    - Test which providers deliver the best LONG TAIL
    results. A properly optimized release will generate
    traffic for months and years.

    - Watch out for trends. These trends are happening now
    and they are impacting the PR space:

    – Speciality newswires, for example: http://www.billboardpublicitywire.com/

    – Targeting: you can geo target as well as target
    by other demographic and psychographic criteria

    Also, while it was buried on one of the lists, I’ve seen good results from this site: http://www.PR-Inside.com And it’s free!

    And while on that subject, it should be noted that many PR resources are NOT free. PRweb used to be, but now the minimum is $80. I like doing a blend of paid and free syndication services for the best results.

    Thanks for the suggestions Jack! We just launched a Press Release Builder Tool to help entrepreneurs build press releases and I linked this post as a valuable resource for our readers under the Step 5: More Resources section.

    Keep up the great work!

    Evan.

    Great list! Another site to try is http://www.onlineprnews.com. I might be biased, but I think it’s a great source ;-) Online PR News was designed from the ground up to be SEO friendly, includes anchor text backlinks, photos, video embedding, and the releases show up in Google News.

    one more for the list and a shameless plug
    http://www.bwrnews.co.uk
