    What is the cheapest PAID press release distribution service online? most i've seen are $75 or $200 etc. I would like to know if there are any under $50 that submit the press release to google news,yahoo news,and to all media outlets and journalists.

    I believe www.prurgent.com will do it for about $25 or so, but don't hold me to that.

    PR Web seems to be the most popular. It's the name that I hear most often via seminars, books, blogs, etc whenever press releases are mentioned.

    Calling PRweb the "best" at anything makes me cringe. lol

    PRleap will get quite a few in Google news. You can pretty much always get into Google news using the free service of www.PR.com though. I've never seen PR.com releases not end up there.

    Most important that your news must newsworthy with quality content & genuine, either you use any service.

    If you have something exceptionally newsworthy, "services" shouldn't be more than a complementary distribution method to a larger campaign. Too many people use them exclusively, and then whine that they're not getting good enough coverage, acting like it's the release's fault, when it's usually theirs for not distributing it properly.

    I agree, which is why I had the "". It's not really the best, but it's the best there is (overall).

    PS: After reading my post here, it doesn't make much sense. Hopefully someone will be able to decipher.
