Review of Grasshopper Phone Service - By Jason Kay

Ereleases Review eReleases is a well established press release distribution service that was created by Mickie Kennedy. Press releases have become popular for both SEO purposes, primarily by building backlinks, and as an independent traffic generation strategy. Depending on the topic of the release, they can also be used to improve brand recognition. But what makes eReleases any different or better than other popular online services?

eReleases in Review

One of the first things that most people notice about eReleases is the high level of transparency. It seems like they will offer you a much clearer picture of who your press release will be distributed to. In fact, it is a major selling point. Along with the transparency in terms of what they offer, they also seem to be very quick to point prospective clients towards an ever growing portfolio.

What Does eReleases Cost?

There are several packages available depending on whether or not you plan on creating your own press release or if you plan on including it in your package. If all you want is distribution then the cost is $399. If you only want them to write a press release, then the cost is $299. If you purchase both a written press release and distribution, you can save $99 as the total price will be $599.

Who Will the Press Release Be Distributed To?

There is a huge distribution list that is readily available. The highlight of the list is probably the partnership with PR Newswire, which is a custom Tier-1 Distribution Network. It is one of the oldest and most well respected news wires available. It was created in 1954 and on its own has hundreds of RSS feeds. eReleases has also fostered relationships with 100,000+ journalists, 3,000+ national newspapers, 4,000+ news and web databases, and more than 6,500+ TV and radio stations.

What is Included in the Press Release and Writing Service?

The press release will be at least 500 words and will include any content that you would like highlighted. The turnaround will always be less than one week. During the writing and distribution of the press release, you will be in complete control and determine when the press release meets your standards. When it is released, you will also benefit from permanent hosting, which means that it will always be online. From an SEO perspective, you will gain anchor text links, included images, social bookmarking links, tag clouds, custom meta keywords, custom meta descriptions, and keyword sensitive URL.

eReleases in Review

Overall, it seems like eReleases has been well liked across the board. The biggest drawback for most people is that the prices are bit steep compared to the competition, however the potential benefits can justify the expense in the long run. It seems like one of those services that if you can afford to use it, then you definitely should. If you cannot afford it, then you will likely need to look elsewhere. However, if you can find someone else to create your press release for less, then you could still potentially afford the distribution costs.
