In SEO there’s a never-ending desire to get backlinks or co-citation. One way to get in valuable citations (and sometimes backlinks) is through submitting press releases. This is, of course, if you submit to the right places. Over the years, we’ve collected quite a list of sites as potential press release submit resources. Below is a list of 123 of those press release websites. Gold mine, right? Wrong.
Some of these press release websites have been solid for years, while others have been beaten down by bad SEO’s submitting worthless news. Unfortunately, some overseas SEO companies or less efficient SEO companies state-side continue to use outdated practices and will take any link they can get. They’ve yet to understand the value in quality over quantity. Otherpress release websites have also gone un-moderated which led them to get beaten down by Google penalties from Penguin or Panda algorithms.
PLEASE NOTE: This list has gone without updating for roughly three years. This list is no longer accurate. Many sites will now be dead. Some that may have been good are now bad. PageRank is also now believed no longer to be updated by Google, so the PageRank is of little value, too.
We hope that the list below can serve as a way for you to research on your own regarding what makes a website a possible good or bad resource to submit to. In no way am I supporting using this list or saying that any of it is effective. In fact, 95% of this list of press release websites is worthless. I only share this as a bit of history of some sort to reflect upon.
