I have tried all of them. I tried PRweb, PRleap, and and Media wire. They are all pricey the more options you add. I have to agree with Shawn. I went ahead with his advice and used http://www.PRunderground.com and I must say for $69.00 they wrote my press release and it showed up all over. I could not find that deal anywhere else. I will be using them again. Thanks Shawn for the tip Nelly Nel's last blog post..Lorest Develops Breakthrough MOIE Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker System

looking for online press release companies and i was researching prleap. they're pretty expensive now ($49) but there are some other cheaper options like PRnine.com to get into Google news that has helped me out so hopefully it'll help someone else out going for cheaper distribution than PRleap Angeleda Robledo's last blog post..Just Go Guides – the iPhone Travel Guide is here

This may be a little late, but I agree with John. PRLeap constantly rejected my releases when they were free, but told me they would be happy to allow them if I upgraded. What BS! If it sucked so much in the first place, why allow it (even if I paid)?

I just recently stumbled upon (literally with SU) a new service and my first release was approved and it was free: www.PRunderground.com

Prleap sucks – to put it bluntly. They continue to refuse my press release because they want me to upgrade. They claim my press releases are written very well but my site has affiliate links (Adsense only) and they refuse to “promote sites with affiliate links.” Yet, Google ranks my site at a PR7 because of its unique content. If I were Google I would stop indexing PrLeap pages because it’s obvious PrLeap does not like Adsense.

PRleap sucks. The last time I tried to submit a PR they wouldn’t take my log in info and all their help features were down. (got ‘not found’ when I tried to reset password and trying to access faq’s) How these guys stay in business is beyond me! Easily the worst company I’ve ever dealt with!!

I’ve used both PRWeb and PR Leap, when PR Leap was still free – mostly in an SEO capacity. I’ve observed more substantial jumps in traffic and rankings through PRWeb although PR Leap does have a decent impact as well!

PR Leap is a pretty good reputation management tool as well when you title the release correctly!

I think its sort of funny that PR Leap is advertising distribution to the AP and UPI, then if you look at the fine print, they admit that there is no guarantee that either will get to these destinations because they are just sending them via e-mail.

We use PRLeap all the time. I have to admit that I’ve used their free service quite a bit – so I’m disappointed that they are dropping it. However, at $49 per release I’m not too disappointed.

I also like the new account management interface they’ve launched. Nice update – easy to use etc.

After your testimonial I’ll have to give their paid service a try. Sounds great.

[...] recent example from a writer that I admire can serve as the example. Janet Meiners writes for Marketing Pilgrim, one of my favorite blogs. Today, she wrote a dynamite article about PRLeap ending its free press [...]

Press releases are key for SEO based on the number of places they appear through the wires – free or paid. As you mentioned, the links are great for search and backlinks.

I believe PR agencies should be incorporating this as a key practice, not as an exception. Check out my post about this topic as well (http://prmeetsmarketing.wordpress.com/2007/07/15/seed-words-make-your -pr-flower/).

My company uses MarketWire. I can add a logo, use tags, and have 10 links in releases, as well as the social bookmarking links. When researching referring sites, I was surprised that marketwire contributes a steady number of visitors to our site on a monthly basis.

I haven’t used the video/podcast function, but I believe these features will become basic for all newswire services.

I can give more specifics offline if you’re interested.
