Why submit press releases about your business to free press release sites? Because Google determines where to rank your website, in part, based on how many sites like to it, and in particular, how many high-value sites link to it. Since many of these press release sites report to news.google.com, which one of the highest ranking sites on the internet, posting releases on them provides a great boost to your search engine ranking. Furthermore, if the topic of your release is something many people are interested in, wide distribution on news.google.com may result in even more incoming links.
The following list of sites accept releases for free or cheap (as 6/29/10).

Great list – one question:
If you submit the same article to all of these sites, does google penalise SEO rankings on the basis of duplicate content?
Thanks

If it is exactly the same article, yes. Change at least the headline, summary and first 100 words each time. Also, submit on different days.

I read an article where it is claimed google has never advised that duplicate content will result in this occurring. in fact with press releases as they get distributed around the net by the service you submit too, they are duplicated all the time. it stated Google wont penalise you however it may not list all of them highly.

A press release or a media release, as it is also called, is a condensed article that is written in a journalistic style. The purpose of the news release is to highlight interesting and newsworthy news about your company or organization. Press release publishing offers benefits to any business, and is a powerful marketing tool in an integrated marketing plan.

Press releases have so many purposes these days. You can use them to increase search engine ranking, drive old/bad/incorrect links down in page rank, tell individuals about new products and services though them being found on news aggregators, tweet about them, face book about them, etc. Such the useful tool

Hi,
We offer free publication of press releases at http://www.your-story.org/ which is intended for maximum impact with journalists, bloggers and investors.
The way this is achieved is by moderating each and every press release submitted to the site, in order to filter out the spam and junk releases before publication. This is not a site for SEO benefit however, it is a site for penetration into the world of news (including direct placement within Google News).
For the webmasters and SEOs among you, think something along the lines of “the DMOZ of press releases” – you may not get in first time, but when you do get in, it is well worth it!
Submit releases here: http://www.your-story.org/submit-free-press-release/
Would be great to be added to your list above.
Regards,
Rob Scott
