Recently a friend of mine used MarketWire to publicize a service he wanted to offer, it took a few months but this business did take off quite well, he started getting customers who came from all over Ontario to use his services. It looked like a great way to get your niche out to the media and the people so they could see what you're offering.

I paid a guy 5 bucks who uses sbnewsire and he got it to show up on google news...

I dont think I would use it enough to pay for sbnewswire myself

I used it for an event and it did help me get some media coverage which lead to some good business.

I've just found out here how you would get article on google news

I'm wonder if these press distributes services are bit like SEO services.
You can do it for free if you know how to do it?

I have used http://www.prweb.com/

Got some good exposure. The hits didn't convert to sales. Maybe my product/pitch.

Only complaint I have is the high pressure, up-sell, sales pitch that follows. They want you to commit to a monthly PR package with them and they don't like taking "no" for an answer. You have to be ready for it.
