    Hi,
    I am looking for a low cost Press Release Distribution Service, that will send out my press release to many different channels. I looked around the forum, but did not find an answer to this question. I apologize if I missed it. :)

    There are quite a few free press release distribution sites, like these http://mashable.com/2007/10/20/press-releases/

    However, if you are serious about your press release and actually getting journalists to call you, I'd look into one of the paid options at PRweb.com or hire a publicist to help.

    Thanks for the info. Another question, how often should you distribute Articles and Press Releases for a start-up website?

    Yes, only do press releases when you have something newsworthy. If it's not something that would be of great interest to other people, it won't do you any good to promote it to journalists.

    Prweb.com, it's the most popular but expect to pay around $360 if you want their best package, which I highly recommend. We are launching a press release next Tuesday about our network, I'll post results and stats when I have them available. If time goes by and I haven't posted the stats, someone please PM me and I'll post the stats here.

    You can use google search engine to find the sites. Here is an example: http://mashable.com/2007/10/20/press-releases/

    Which is the best service on that top 20 list? Is there a combination of free services that could produce good results?

    & is that $360/press release on PR web?
