Some weeks ago I published a post on using seo friendly press releases to gather backlinks.
If you missed that post, by all means step over and read it.
It covers all you need to know about writing SEO friendly press releases, even going into details about how to get ideas for press releases.
This post is the sequel to that, and covers where to publish your press releases once you have written them.
Find below a list of 25+ free press release distribution sites. I have personally tested all these sites and can gaurantee that your press releases will be published:

About Yeremi Akpan
Great list. I really enjoyed the associated A-Z post on press releases.
Ibo, thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you found this post useful…
Excellent list..
already use most of em event tho some of em doesn’t accept free email such as gmail and yahoo mail also doens’t allow anchor text links. Would be appreciated if u could share PR list that can accept free email and we can put anchor text links..
In my experience most of those sites accept anchor text and free emails with the exception of about three or so.
But then, in the case of those three, you could just leave a direct link back to your site…
Thanks for coming by, Contance! Great to have you here…
good brother having a useful information for me not reaming fully this time but added in my delicious pages to read carefully when i m totally free.thanx
A really excellent list. I have had several ‘cold’ calls from ‘marketeers’ who all wanted lots of money for ‘press releases’ etc. but as far as I can see, the guys on your list do the job for free (or rather enable you to do the job yourself). Two additional great things about this post are 1) That you have actually tried them yourself, and 2) that the list is up to date and not scraped from a 2007 post. Great work – much appreciated.
I am glad you found this useful. Put it to use…
Good Share,all these free press release websites are high Pr sites?Is there any automated software to do this job?
I do not know of any automated way to get the job done. But I am sure a search on Google can turn something up
Great Site for your free Press Release Submission: http://www.pressreleaseorder.com/
Hi James,
Thanks for the addition. Will check your link out and if it meets the standards measured for the other posts, it may make it into the list.
Useful list Yeremi, thank you.
Hi Robert,
The pleasure is all mine!
Glad to know you found this post useful…
Thank you for sharing this valuable list. At first I thought that PR had a monoply on the market – especially after reading a few articles stating that FREE press release sites don’t connect with the media (e.g., newspaper, mags, reporters, journalists) and are a waste of time.
I’m preparing a news release; but thought to explore release options using the Internet. Will come back to your site when ready to actually send out our notice. Wishing you continued success!!
Connected by the written word,
Marcia
Hi Marcia,
Most free press release sites do not connect with the media. If you are looking at making an impact in the media with your press release it may be better to go the premium route.
The focus of this post was press release for SEO backlinks.

Thanks for the press release list. You said that some PR press releases submit to Google News and Yahoo news. Can you please explain brief on that. I just need to know how to submit out content to google news and yahoo news
Hi Rajandran,
Thanks for the comment!
Yes, some PR sites submit to Google News and Yahoo News. You just have to check their service terms to ensure that they do.
Alternatively, you can search in Google for PR services that publish to Google news.
Some of the links dont exist !
I can’t get exactly what do you want to say in this article. Please make it clear how to do Press Release? Elaborate a bit. Take example of PR.com I Logged In to the site what to do next?
