    Rohnsmith, I constantly do submission to the following first class press release distribution centers:
    prweb, prnewswire, marketingwire and businesswire.

    What specifically are you interested in?

    I have tried using eReleases.com, although its costly but I believe they have done a great job spreading the press release all over the US local and national news, we even had a call from one local news station asking for an interview about the product that we had launched.

    If you would really like to try Paid Press Release Submissions, make sure to understand where they will spread your press release and weigh-in if this is really a good deal for you. Also try to contact them first, their response to your inquiry will help you decide if you still want to go for paid submissions.

    I used OnlinePRNews.com by Christine O'Kelley. Really cost-effective for the quality network. I got thousands of backlinks within a couple weeks. I think you'd like her site. Very professional.

    Augra, which package did you buy? Can you give me an example of a successful press release? It doesn't seem normal to get thousands of backlinks unless it's truly newsworthy. I have bad luck with press release services and looking for one that will give the biggest SEO boost.

    From the paid services I've only tried the Premier releases on http://www.free-press-release.com
    I submitted two releases almost simultaneously - one free, another one Premier. The free produced 30 clickthroughs, the Premier one - 79.

    Was it worth the $10? I dunno, I basically paid $10 for 49 extra visitors. That's around 20 cents per visitor. Having my keywords in mind, I could get a visitor from Adwords for 15 cents. So, it's a bit more expensive than Adwords, however, there's a benefit of a permanent dofollow link when you submit a Premium release.

    Would you share any stats with us? How many more visitors you get from a paid release compared to a free release?

    D'oh!!! Please don't hijack other peoples' posts or you'll get negative reps. Use the search facility of DP. It's a good one.

    Paid PR services are often very expensive(writing + submitting > $300), and not all services have good result.

    with $300 is really out of my sight. I would do it on my own hand. I see some service with really realy cheap price with no competition.
