    Businesswire.com and prnewswire.com are the best in my opinion. They are the services used by most professionals. They are the best and most expensive.

    Good luck.

    Yeah its a waste of money to send out a big press release to prnewswire or businesswire if your site is small and not newsworthy.

    If you have a smaller site, try PRWeb.com, they are very good for online news and tons of backlinks.

    This is for a large website that is very unique (at least as far as I know). It is definately not an image gallery. I would like this for a Web and Print Press release. I appreciate the feedback.

    Sorry Woodcs82
    I miss read your post. It looks like prnewswire is what I am looking for.
    Sorry to be a pain but do you know were you can direct me on a good tutorial for writing a press release? I've never done it before and this makes me nervous! :eek:

    Check with www.marketwire.com. They are the biggest newswire in the world. You can go as focused or broad distribution as you like. You should be able to haggle for a discount.

    Hi ctyler,
    you can search "free press release websites" on any good search engine. you will find a list of websites where you can post your press releases. I also suggest you to visit www.dreamworldtech.com in this regard bcoz i also found it very useful to get information regarding press releases. Good luck

    I used pressreleasegrader (dot) com when I did mine and it helped out a lot. Prweb also gives you a template to get you started.

    Hate to say it again, but businesswire and prnewswire are the biggest newswires hands down.

    I appreciate everyones help.
    I think I am going to go with businesswire. How much traffic do you think you can expect with a full fledge national press release?

    PRweb is not longer free since a couple of years back.

    I will recommend you search for huge lists of free Press Release submission sites, either inside this and the copywriting forum.
