Please post if i miss any other sites. Thanks:eek:

nice list, thanks for putting it together and posting it. I'm currently considering putting out a release. Is there one in particular that you would recommend?

I have submitted to I-Newswire before but never got any traffic from it

PRweb is no longer free, as from end of October they charge per release posted.

It looks as if olddocks made it just in time, posting this thread just days before the end of October.

I think the change was made a couple of days before the post, but you wouldn't know unless you tried to actually submit a press release at which point you get the message about how the market has changed and 'that will be forty bucks please' pops up.

Hi, Do you also know of any FREE press release writers? or atleast cheap. Thanks We would like to send one out regarding our site.

no one will write press releases for free. I know some freelance writers who do this for a cheap fee from $10-$20. You can contact them here

This is a great resource. Thank you!
