Hey Lonnie, media room is just my fancy attempt to jazz up “blog”. Guess it didn’t catch on very well. LOL.

Very cool info Andre, You are correct in that you really don't hear too much about Press Releases any more. I agree in that they are still effective and a very good way to get some additional traffic and backlinks (always good). Thanks for the list of the free press release sites. I have heard a lot about PRweb, but the others are ones I haven't heard of. Thanks, Brett McEllhiney´s last blog post..How do I find ideas for my niche blogs?

I haven't done it much lately, but I had good success with free press releases. Google pick them up, certainly if it appears to be fresh content! Fred Fred Lotgering´s last blog post..Delavo™ coming May 17th

I have never use a press release. I have heard of them. Looks like I should take a look at some of the free ones you suggested.

What is the “media room on your site” that you referred to in your post?

I thought that to be successful with press releases your needed to pay for one of the big services. Thanks for suggesting the free ones. I suspect they won’t be as powerful, but it is another avenue that can serve to get traffic. And that’s what I want.

Yes, there are still many people using press releases, and they still work well.

To have the most effect from them, you will want to learn how to properly write one, as they are not the same as writing an article that we normally do.
