Free Press Release

by Brad Dark

Free Press Release

There are heaps of Free Press Release Submission sites out there and you may have even come across some list’s that offer 50-100+ different free press release and article marketing sites for you to choose from. However, there are major flaws with most of these lists. First and foremost, many haven’t been updated for eons if ever at all, which means that several of the sites listed are either no longer free, or they no longer exist and let’s face it. Who has the time to submit to 50+ ‘hit or miss’ Free Press Release Distribution sites, do you? And lets not forget, time is money, and I believe in the old cliché, that quality is always better than quantity. Free Press Release sites that carry strong alexa rankings are always going to be better to submit to than sites that have poor rankings.

The Free Press Release Distribution sites listed below have been included because they meet a certain criteria: Containing these key elements.

- At the time of writing these Press Release Submission sites Are FREE: Please let me know if any of these sites change the Free Policy! “Simply by posting a comment below”
- Releases are included in Google™ where they remain visible and searchable for long periods after being archived!
- Purposeful: These Free Press Release Distribution sites cater to businesses, media, and other related venues. Meaning, they generally aren’t saturated with Internet hype claiming you can make $50K this month by simply joining this system.
- They all have relatively high Alexa site rank.
- They allow Directly Clickable Links to your website- SEO Backlinks! (Except where noted in bold)
- They allow for at least one of the following important SEO features: Keyword list, Meta Tags, or Anchor Text.

Some also have additional features such as allowing you to add your company Logo, imbedded full display of your website, or if the site is direct submit it’s noted. Sometimes while you are previewing your release strange characters or spaces appear- Troubleshoot this by: Checking the following, some sites don’t cater for direct copy & paste- quotation marks, plural (its), or special characters like trademarks.

Just click on the below url’s and they will open in a new window allowing you to quickly submit to each and every one! Websites are listed in random order of Alexa ranking on the day of writing:

Of course you are going to have to go through and create your own user account for each.

Below is an insert of a Professional Marketer’s Opinion, based on experience: “I have made subtle changes to avoid duplicate content”

Here’s a professional opinion on Free Press Release. This is designed to cover Both the Pro’s and the Con’s of Free Press Release Distribution Sites. Starting with the Con’s first: If you’re hoping to hit the ‘big one’- For example: receiving a phone call from a journalist or getting an inclusion in a highly respected magazine, most of the time Free sites aren’t the best way to accomplish this. Purposefully stated ‘most of the time’ because I have in the past, actually received several very productive phone calls! However, this is more of an exception, rather than a norm.
Now for the Pro’s: If you’re goal is to drive highly qualified, targeted traffic to your site, the Free Press Release Submission sites can certainly accomplish this if you apply Creative Writing also known as creative copy, make good use of your SEO Optimization, make sure you have attention grabbing headlines, do your keyword research, and try to strike the right balance of keyword saturation “dont stuff your keywords always write for your readers first and foremost, there is no point writing for the sole purpose of getting high rankings if your writing looks dubious and no-one will want to read it”

If you want to create additional Internet Visibility (Search Engine exposure) for your website, product, or service without spending any money, the Free Press Release sites can definitely help you. If you’re seeking Backlinks to help with rankings, the free sites can assist you if you remain persistent. If you’re looking to establish another cost effective avenue for Branding a product or service, the Free Press Release Submission sites are a great tool and you should be using them. If you’re seeking to engage in what’s been recently referred to as ‘Reverse Public Relations‘, the driving of unwarranted negative publicity into the deeper recesses of the Internet, the Free Press Release Distribution sites are very effective for this.

If you want to produce a kind of ‘Domino effect’, the copying and linking of your articles in other websites or through Social Media practices like Twitter, the Free sites can help you achieve this.
