Press Releases
Blog Buzz on PR: February 11, 2008
I’ve been intentionally avoiding the PR segment of the blogosphere recently - frankly, at times it sucks the life right out of me, and being busy with real work, house-hunting, and trying to enjoy a bit of life, I just haven’t had the patience for it.
I suppose that means it’s time to dig around looking […]
PRweb: Giving Credit Where Credit’s Due
I’m sure it’s no secret that I’m not a fan of PRweb. However, even little old me can give credit when it’s due. So just a quickie today:
Someone pointed out an issue on a release posted to PRweb with live links. To write even remotely properly you’ll occasionally have to include a comma after […]
Archive Your Press Releases You Idiot
That’s one of those little things I find myself muttering under my breath when talking to the occasional unenlightened Webpreneur.

I just put together a short e-book on the subject yesterday, targeting the DIY type looking for a little bit of guidance. It’s […]
Why I’m Not a PRweb Affiliate
I write press releases for online clients. I write a lot of them. Many of my clients ultimately choose to distribute their press releases through PRweb (I actually hate to think of exactly how much money I’ve pushed their way). So logic would say I should sign up as an affiliate with PRweb / PRweb […]
What Press Releases Aren’t
There’s one thing in particular that drives me crazy in working with webmasters on press release writing and distribution. Far too many honestly believe that “press releases” and “articles” are the same thing. I stumbled upon a job posting where someone was looking for a press release writer this evening. Here are a […]
PR.com Press Release Distribution Changes
PR.com has just announced several changes to their press release distribution options. Here’s a run-down of new features available through their online press release distribution options (btw, this is my personal favorite in press release distribution sites):
