It seems press release distribution is an important part to any online marketing. With the latest Google updates it seems they are ranking new content better in search engines. News sites seem to becoming stronger in search positions. We have been experimenting with press release distribution for many years now and have come across a few decent news sites to use. In our opinion there is no point submitting the same story to hundreds of websites. Choosing one or two decent news sites will give the desired results. One of the most important key factors to online news submission is getting the press release in Google News. Once a story hits G News its instantly indexed, sent to anyone receiving alerts plus its visible through any syndicated website. The results can be massive depending on what the story is about.. There are many press release distribution websites online. Here are some of the best sites we have come across: 1) www.release-news.com R-N offers free submission. Its easy to register and has a simple user submission form. It has a strong Alexa of around 30K. In addition you receive automatic approval emails when a story is submitted/approved. For an extra payment of either $22 or $59 you can get a news story listed in Google News. (providing it is unique and news worthy) 2) www.free-press-release.com/ An easy to use website. Offers free submission of news. Press releases can be upgraded. Has a user friendly interface. 3) http://www.prlog.org/ A basic looking website with decent results. Long established sites. Offers Google News submission options 4) www.onlineprnews.com/ A nice layout. Established news site which offers several payment upgrades. News enters Bing News. 5) www.americanchronicle.com High authority news site which accepts authors. Special approval is needed by written email . Results can be good. Decent search positions for news. Remember: When using news sites, submit only unique news worthy content. News will only enter Google News once under probably the first site you submit to (if its a source) Its also important to note that, news wont enter G News if its published online already. It needs to be unique.
