As someone who’s company is slowly bringing a lot of the marketing back in house this is invaluable and has helped me understand PRWeb a lot more. Far better than going through all the sales blurb on their site.

Thanks

Hello, thank you for such a great post, i was looking for reviews on PR web and came across this post. I wondered if anybody thinks PR web will be useful for geograhically based releases. Say im doing a press release about what going on in my local town, which i run a website for, would PR web be useful to me?

Thanks

Excellent article, thanks for the info about PRWEB! I’ve been on the fence trying to decide whether it’s worth my money. I released PR’s with other popular sites and found out spamming forums with my “PR” was their “method”. So, after some further investigation I came across PRWEB, hear MANY great things about them but just wanted to get further proof that they work.

great article, i’ll definitely use PRWEB for my next release

wow, what an article. Having used PRWeb only a few times, this has now shed much light on certain doubts I had about their 4 levels of distribution…. I do inhouse SEO for a British charity named the British Council and we are starting to use this much more frequently… problem is that being based in France, and obviously being the language a sensitivity in this country, it’s a shame that we cannot send out PRs in French… I am bookmarking this article, thanks for the useful info ; )

by the way, does anyone have simimar positive experiences with PRNewswire?

It seems silly to ask.. but have any of your Press Releases… you know – ever been read by a journalist and resulted in a newspaper article like real press releases do?

PS if you want a real Press Release in the Associated Press feed you just call AP and get the email address to sent it to and there you go… FREE.

PR Web is for Press Releases that are not worthy enough to result in real news articles.

Great review – I’m also a PRWeb fan – for several years. They’re #1 ranked on TopSEOs.com (here is the criteria used). PRWeb always ranks first.

I love getting stats and that make it easy to compare press releases, the ability to schedule ahead, and use RSS feeds for each of my clients. Oh, and customer service (believe me this is important when your client needs something changed ASAP).

Thanks for sharing your stats – which are excellent. I’m just going to note that about a 1.5-2% clickthrough rate is what I get every time. Seems to be pretty consistent even with higher news value PR.

If you don’t want stats or the extra features aren’t important I like PRLeap for $50. It’s a small shop and they are innovative plus has the good SEO features you need.

I’m writing a book about online PR that should be out in a few months. I have a lot about PRWeb in it.

Thanks

Rae: Awesome, in-depth post on PRWeb. I have debated what would be the best provider to use for internet press releases (about 60 days out from distribution of my first press release). I really appreciate your presentation of your thoughts, and especially your results! Thanks bunches. Shay West

I have to agree with many of the comments left here. This was a well written post on PRWeb. Reading this plus talking with a few others have made me understand the extreme value of PRWeb and Press Releases.

For me this will be a great kick start into this medium on many levels. Thanks for the insight Rae.

PRWeb is a great resource and service. For those looking to give press releases a try, prlog.com will do it for free. Don’t expect the same service and PRWeb, but for free, its hard to beat.

This is great info!! We are just going live with a Company/blog/web-precence focused on our tagline "Start your Life Up" We have named our site LifeStartUp. We searched far and wide for advice and this site is near the top. Way to go Sugar Rae. We actually ended up hiring a Logo design firm in London but we are looking to do P.R. as we build our content and presence. We are all learning from scratch very slowly. Any advice for building a site from nothing into one thats helps and encourages? We are doing it to help others with a positive mindset and we intend to test some products online and post our results on which ones made us a few bucks. Thanks from the (small)staff at LifeStartUp.com
