Should I pay for the distribution of press releases?

    What do you think is it worth ordering distribution of press releases? For example at 24-7pressrelease.com?
    Will I receive from this targeted traffic to my site?
    Will I receive from this additional backlinks from the partner sites?

    If someone has a positive experience with the distribution of press releases, help please through whom it is better to order and whether it makes sense. I have a touristic site.

    Press releases can bring first page visibility for the keywords you are using, thats a great resource to get top rankings at google and build quality backlinks.

    PRweb is probably your best bet in paying for ANY press release jobs. Go for them, and you will find great success.

    You are definitely going to get what you pay for when it comes to submitting a Press Release... I use both free sites and paid sites... The paid sites work much better then the free sites, but it all comes down to how your Press Release is written or how its optimized.

    Well see how much time it takes you and then see how much people charge for the service. If your spending 3 hours doing it and people will submit for $6 then you obviously should outsource.

    Press releases are good for an overall marketing strategy - even the free ones.

    The only one I've found worth paying for is PRWeb.

    PRWeb is very good and a little pricey in my opinion... Remember though, you get what you pay for...

    Sometimes it's better to go with a Free site rather than a payed for site. I use both, depending on what niche the website is associated with when I write a Press Release.

    The better question is what is your goal?

    If it's just backlinks, there are probably a couple dozen free sites you can submit to.

    If you're actually looking for traffic and distribution, you probably need to go with a paid service.
