Add PRLog to List of Free Press Release Distribution Sites
Both Daniel Durazo and I received comments about PRLog. One commenter said he got two press releases on the first page of Google results by inserting a niche keyword phrase into the title of the press release. Useful TIP!
Upon review of PRLog this is what I found out about the free service:
-Requires a minimal registration/login process
-Allows hyperlinks to be inserted in to the body of the release
-Masks email addresses in the contact section (to prevent spam)
-Typically submits free releases within 24 hours
-Provides multiple categories and tags (keywords)
-Allows for company logo inclusion
-Automatically creates a downloadable PDF
-Provides visitor statistics
-Allows for editing and deleting releases

It’s definitely a useful site for any PR professional on a budget. First page Google results is nothing to snuff at. And allowing hyperlinks in the body of the press release free of charge is almost unheard of among the free sites.
