Hello everyone, Eric here, I’m the owner of PRunderground and I have a few announcements to make…

In the next few days, PRunderground will be removing the active url links in free press releases.

We would like to thank everyone who took advantage of this special.

Just two days after our last announcement, we’ve decided to make some changes . . . again. Instead of offering four different packages, we are offering two; free and paid.

Today PRunderground.com announced they will no longer provide PRWeb distribution as part of their packages. Instead they are announcing their new Enhanced Distribution List, which provides press release distribution to outlets such as Google News, the Associated Press, Ask News, Digg.com and more…

After ten days online, it’s clear that there’s one thing that will be a daily ritual; rejecting bad press releases.

Since going live we have approved 12 free submissions, but we’ve rejected 32. It seems the majority of people submitting releases just don’t read the guidelines.

Two months ago PRunderground started as nothing more than another blog, aimed at helping people learn more about press releases and Internet marketing. It was something I did as a hobby when I had free time, which wasn’t often.

Sheesh people… sometimes I just don’t know about some of the things you say. Well not you, no, you are cool… I’m talking about people like this.

Every few days I seem to get an e-mail from someone asking me where they should distribute their online press release. Normally I just send them to Google and say “search”. Everyone has different needs and while one distributor might be perfect for you, it might be worthless for someone else. So I’ve decided to review a few of the press release distributors that I have used in the past.

Many people hear the term “press release” and it immediately conjures up thoughts of a newspaper reporter pulling a piece of paper from a fax machine and running to their editor. While press releases are still used as a means of submitting your newsworthy announcement to journalists, the Internet has changed the definition of what a press release can be.
