Hi there! Just a quick post, as I’m about to make my amazing mashed potatoes for my family’s Easter dinner – what are your recommendations on the best press release syndication sites out there? I’ve previously used PRWeb.com and loved them, but I’m now looking to branch out a bit and see what else is out there. My must’s are:

• No yearly fee or contracts, purely a pay-by-release structure. The ability to pre-pay via check/electronic payment for multiple releases is preferred.
• SEO features, such as the ability to include links and the anchor text of my choosing.
• Ability to include a photo in the body of the release. Not a deal-breaker, but would be nice.
• Release should syndicate to similar major media outlets as PRWeb’s, such as the Associated Press, Google News, Yahoo News, etc.
• Ability to select categories for the release.
• Able to view statistics, such as the number of times the release is shown and the number of times the release is clicked on and opened.
• Ideally, each release should be $200 or under.

Here’s to hoping you’ll help this SEO Girl out!
