   Dear Ponn,

   GREAT LIST! Thanks so much for taking the time to compile and share it with your “fans.”

   Warmest regards,

   Heidi Richards

   Ponn,
   Great list! Thanks for compiling this - it’s really helpful. I believe with PRLeap you have to pay to use links in your press release. For search engines, it’s worth paying for that link.
   If you don’t pay, use your keywords near the URL (before, and/or behind). It won’t be linked but can still help associate your web address with your major keywords.

   Hi Heidi!
   I know you’ll be taking great advantage of this list, as you actively send online press releases. Thanks for the kind words…W.E. (women entrepreneurs) work hard to please at EmpowerWomenNow.com

   Janet,
   I agree, its worth the extra “dime” for the search engine optimization. You are a fan of PRLeap, so it’s definitely one I’ll pay particular attention too.

   Great little tip about keyword placement…hmm…have you compiled any “hard data” regarding this tactic? Just in press releases or in articles, blogposts, any type of webpage?

   Thanks Ladies!

    Can you *please* share where you’re generating your research. This is *very* important information for us. Website that tests this? What does “reported as high spam content”? Do the search engines see these as “spam websites”?

    PRLeap.com?!? I was talking to a colleague recently about free press release distribution services *only* giving one link-back, and may not be beneficial, unless you want all the link backs? But, never discussed “spam-association”. Please advise us ASAP.

    Much obliged,
    Ponn
    P.S. I have no idea how I missed these comments. Possibly, because you’ve commented before, they didn’t get moderated…and it didn’t log in the “recent comments” long enough to see, because other comments were coming equally as quick…hmmm.

    It appears as though anubiz got his information from this website - http://www.prspam.com

    I’m not exactly sure how these claims are determined as there’s no other real content on this website?

    On another note, I run a website - http://www.PressAbout.com which is a free press release site in the form of a blog. We allow deep linking within our site. We don’t allow articles this site is for press releases only, and we monitor closely for spam.

    Thank you so much for the clarification…seems like PRSpam.com is a bit of a spam site in and of itself.
    :-/

    Interestingly, anubiz’s email address is not a “real” one. I was real considered about the comments and had to follow-up.

    I like what you offer, but how do you discern what to publish? Categories, etc?

    I see tons of potential for your site and will be happy to list your service.

    You also introduced me to some interesting services…our networks don’t overlap, so we have great potential in joint venture partnering VERY soon!

    Free submission which includes inclussion on the homepage.

27. Admin, on June 23rd, 2007 at 1:37 am Said:

    Hi George

    Interesting find. Thanks for sharing.

    From the page: “NewDesignWorld Press Release Center, is a web application that allows you to submit an Press Release that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a news article it will be placed in the “unpublished” area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page.”

    Like the “digg” of online press releases.

28. PressAbout, on June 26th, 2007 at 7:19 am Said:

    Hi Ponn,

    Determining what to publish is an interesting one, primarily we won’t publish anything adult related, gambling, made for adsense, or dodgy money making schemes. Having said that we don’t recommend in anyway what is published - it can be a bit tricky sometimes, because what we see as not being newsworthy maybe to someone else. Some of the SPAM is very well disguised.

    We don’t categorise our posts, we utilise the tagging plugin for wordpress (we need to work on this a little). Perhaps we should categorise to basic level?

    Thanks for your positive feedback, I’ll be interested to hear what plans you have for the future - and I’ll be subscribing to your feed

46. Phil, on July 20th, 2008 at 7:24 pm Said:

    I recently reviewed about 60 free press release distribution sites. I’ve been using many of these for years. I’ve found some of them to be quite effective and others, not worth the time that it takes to post.

    A few weeks back I decided to put together a list of the best free press release sites. Here are the 4 criteria I used for a site to be included on the list.

    1. The site must be free, but can offer additional services for a fee.

    2. The majority of the press releases published by the site must be indexed by Google News.

    3. The site must have a Google pagerank that is 4/10 or more

    5. The site must have an Alexa.com rank that is greater than 300,000

    I’ve been updating the list every week or two and would welcome suggestions for additional sites as long as they fit the 4 criteria I mentioned above. You can view the latest list online at: http://bignews.biz/blog/?p=6
