    What service (if possible free) do you use to distribute press releases? What are the results? and how long they take to publish your press release?

    Thank you

    Actually I strongly feel that writing press releses is your task. Because unfortunately many services offering writing PR are not qualitative ( especially when they're free of charge)...

    He's not talking about getting it written for free. ;) He's asking about free distribution sites. I have a list of some at www.NakedPR.com. I still stand by www.PR.com as the best in this area. You do have to pay if you want live links, but their free releases have led to coverage, and get picked up rather well in Google News. I believe they have a 2-day editorial hold. Others will publish instantly (www.i-newswire.com used to, but I haven't used them in a while), but I suggest going with ones with actual editors - PR.com is great about contacting you if there are any potential problems with the release before it goes out to the public.
