Free Press Release Distribution Websites

Writing by Brick Marketing on Sunday, 18 of November , 2007 at 1:45 pm

If you are really on a tight budget and don’t want to pay the minimum $80 for a basic press release distribution package, there are websites that will allow you to distribute your press releases for free. I can’t recommend most of these places, however, because I don’t believe that the free distribution levels are as effective as what PR Web Press Release Newswire offers. But I also realize that somethings are just out of your budget for right now. Some distribution is better than no distribution at all.

PRWeb - Press Releases That Work
If you find yourself unable to pay for adequate press release distribution then it helps to know a little bit about the places that allow you free distribution. So I’ve compiled a short list of free press release distribution websites:

• I-Newswire
• PR Leap
• 24-7PressRelease
• PR Buzz
• Newswire Today
• Press Box
• PR.com
• Press Media Wire
• ePress Releases
• Send2Press
• PR Web Direct

As you can see, there are quite a few places online to distribute your press releases for free. And this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg.

The problem with free press release distribution websites is that most of them don’t really distribute your press releases. They store them on their own websites and act as a directory for press releases. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if your press release is going to be found by important media people then those people will have to visit the website and find your press release there. In most cases, that isn’t happening.

That doesn’t mean you have no benefit at all by distributing your press releases to free distribution networks. If you have a well optimized press release then it is possible that an organic search will return your press release in its results. But you are taking a gamble that important media people will be searching specifically for the information that is in your press release. You are much better off paying a few dollars and getting your press release distributed the right way. But if you are under a tight budget and can’t do that then free press release distribution is better than nothing.
