    do you mind telling what was the approximative ctr for those uniques, like how many did donate per thousand uniques?
    I am interested about the human behavior, thanks.

    Never underestimate the marketing power of PRs. I know of a site that did only one and never bothered thinking about other sources of traffic because of the flow of traffic it had. The effect is compounded if the PR site offers categorized RSS feeds and you happen to submit in the right category.

    This is quite timely for me - I was just going to ask today about press releases and the best way to go about them! :)

    Any recommendations for reviewing a press release before it goes out? Once I write one up and submit it, does the service review it and append to it any comments it has regarding the content before sending it out?

    If there are any experts here on press releases that wouldn't mind reviewing mine, PM me and let me know. I'd appreciate any help and advise on this. Thanks!

    Congrats on the all the uniques. It will be interesting to see how much more you can get since it will probably start snowballing.

    @ Yellowberry - Im writing a longer press release for PRweb because they are a much more professional service than most of the free ones, and with free ones a short and to the point press release is more effective and has a higher chance of people clicking the destination url which in the end is my goal.

    @ Mibs - The traffic didn’t convert too well, I got 8 donators so far so approximately 1 donator for every 1000 visits. I have sent some more press release to health news sites so that traffic should be more targeted.

    @ Goodstar – I’m still waiting for my stats to update

    Good luck man please if you have any statistics from the site so we can see where the traffic came from that would be very nice post some green to you as well :)

    What made you take just those PR companies? Who much traffic do you think you will get from prweb?

    that is a creative idea and you have a nice site.
    press releases is a good way to build traffic for the site but there is other ways
    get more backlinks such as forums, classified ads, blogs, articles, link exchange partners, social bookmarking and update your content for your blog site and as well your site.
    users like a site that is informative and useful to them.

    I think prweb will do really well for me, but as of yet they are still declining my press release.

    As far as the why did I choose those specific free press release sites, I didn't really choose them, I just did a google search and found them.:)
