Press Release Distribution
If you just launched, redesigned, or made a serious update to your website then you might consider getting the word out with a news release. This can be a costly process, however, there are ways to do this without spending a dime! PRWeb has a mechanism for you to upload your news releases for free. Visitors searching their site, using appropriate keywords, will then be presented with your news. If you have a serious budget and want your news distributed to all the major on-line news feeds, consider posting your release with PRNewsWire or BusinessWire. Don't forget that SpatialNews is also available to run your news... for free!
