Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Good offline distribution, tracking and visibility. Wide offline distribution to real journalists!
Reviewers Comments on Links:
No PR passed because they use url forwarding It would be a mistake to think this site is not too good for SEO because the distribution could result in 100's of quality links. (to be reviewed for SEO)
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Site treats prices of service like they are state secrets. BusinessWire and PR Newswire compromise the Tier 1 services most of the other services are using one of these two.

Wide distribution to industry specific media on/off-line Yahoo! News, Google News and MSNBC Could not find the costs on site
Reviewers Comments on Links:
Links pass PR but once you get to the press release the pages appear to have no PR to pass
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Why do sites not publish rates?

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Not exactly a lot of information. Definitely displaying PRnewswire
Reviewers Comments on Links:
Pages are pretty much grey barred.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Not really a good place for promotion using PR releases but... might be useful for social linking in the community. I saw something from SEOInc in their feed.

Links pass PR however all press releases seem to passing no PR because the pages appear to have no PR to pass.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
What is particularly interesting is that sites that have pay options are most likely to have no PR to pass from the release

On-site stats, free Google Inclusion. Yes free distribution to Google News which makes one wonder about the services that charge. They get thwe benefits of the IBLs to your release and you get to pay for that?
Reviewers Comments on Links:
Many of the releases are grey barred. PR is passed if release has PR. I've found the interior pages do gain PR as links are pointed at them. 2 social links moved PR from grey to white.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
PressRoom is incredible for managing multiple clients. Site provides some stats for referrers and pageviews. Biz listing and "showcase" are also free. Site also provides an article archive.

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Wide distribution both online and off. appropriate target/trade categories at no additional charge
Reviewers Comments on Links:
The headlines are on a different page with PR6. Multiple links allowed but the pages have grey bar. Do pass PR and I have seen indications these are promotable for raising PR with incoming links
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Starter club @$99. The price for the full release of $399 is not bad either. No search but there is tag cloud so you'll want to have some good keywords tags associated to the release

---

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Free Press release archive. No distribution or partners
Reviewers Comments on Links:
Pages pass PR but no link text so try to put keywords in the page you link to. PR rolls down the link hierarchy losing little value. This generally indicates the IBL/# of pages is sufficient enough to sustain this site.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Nice site to surf with what looks like above average SEO benefit. This site should be on every good SEO's radar!

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Offline distribution is good for coverage and raising awareness of online sites. Absolutely the best service for web based business sites Press Releases. The link benefits are short lived... literally months.
Reviewers Comments on Links:
Links are plentifiul and pass PR. Eric actually gets it, do the others? Most of the others sites treat them like commodities because that's what separates the web from print! Archive indicates no PR to pass.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Eric Ward has been providing this service for as long as I remember. Eric also did the orginal promotion for Yahoo!. Widely regarded as one of the top link promoters

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Google, Yahoo!, Ask and many other lesser known sites. $15, $25, $50 services. Lots of extras if you use the enhanced services. Press releases entered through free service are not guaranteed to stay live.
Reviewers Comments on Links:
1 link of biz name at end Links on biz listings and Agency profiles Good distribution of PR down the link hierarchy but you will have to build links to the release to support higher benefits no or little passed down
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Nice site, must register to use. Video and image galleries for enhanced service

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Google, Yahoo!, MSN distribution. Some sort of course is being flogged heavily all over the site. Likely just as bogus as the free releases
Reviewers Comments on Links:
2 Links at end of copy. Not a lot of SEO value unless cross promoted with social media and bookmarking sites.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Not one of the first places I'd go. Says it's free but it's not they have some sort of monthly fee, however all over the site it says it is free.

Reviewers Comments on Links:
No Pr, grey bar may OR may not indicate the value passed. With no distribution it does seem the "value" perceived by Google is low.

Reviewer Comment on Distribution Service
Distribution to Industry Blogs and Niche state PR Release sites. Free submissions are lower on the page. Claim links stay about 3 months on home page. The links are older on the distribution sites.
Reviewers Comments on Links:
Multiple links in Paid version. No links in free releases. Most of the other distribution is to blogs and niche sites with low PR.
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Releases posted on industry blogs at editors discretion. AFAICS they are posting anything on the state sites (British airway on California site?) on their entire network. This is a good value at $29!

Start from 19.95 ~ "Indexed Google News, MSN News, Topix.com, Ask.com plus an ever growing number of syndicated outlets via our comprehensive RSS feeds." ~Quote above from site
Reviewers Comments on Links:
$59 includes:"WebRelease accommodates unlimited search result displays, within a four month campaign, or 150 "click-throughs" (users actually clicking to view the entire news release), whichever comes first."
Reviewers Comments on Site, Added Services & Media:
Many packages so resd carefully because what you think is a feed to an engine is actually just a case of being indexed by a SE... so be aware! The prices are badm but it looks like there are some stats

Reviewers Comments on Links:
Links in published articles are allowed and not limited. Links pass PR and PR does flow through the site many articles were PR2

This site is often found in the Google alerts I get for payday news so although they aren't listing Google it might be a backdoor to Google News distribution
