      Doing a piece on the royal wedding, what PR service should I use?

        Ive recently done the same for the wedding, and used PRnewswire. They have number of packages from £300 up to £2000 for video hosting. They were pretty good at getting in touch, explaining what they offer and feeding back.

        I used the online US distribution package to try get the most backlinks, however was disappointed with the results (I got large numbers of links but all spammy). I would do a UK release next time and see if thats better

        Otherwise I have alist of free PR sites here http://seobestpractice.org/Linkbuilding ordered by Pagerank

        Overall no PR distribution has done that well for me in actually moving keyword rankings, Id be interested to hear how you get on and who you choose

        EDIT: If you do pay for PR, make sure they have submissions to Yahoo, Google news etc

          That's a nice list you've got there, I particularly liked the disclaimer about public relations at the top of the page ;-).

          We're putting something together that's similar, but coming at it from a PR agency perspective rather than straight linkbuilding for SEO.

          Well, the wedding's over so this may not help the OP directly, but could be useful for others:

          • For tech clients we use sourcewire regularly (and find it works very well)
          • For cheap, releases that still give half-decent links and get picked up by google news, we often use www.journalism.co.uk (which I didn't see on your list and costs about £30 for the basic service)

          As a (slightly) amusing aside, we put an April Fool's blog post up about being appointed the PR agency for the royal wedding - would you believe we actually got a couple of enquiries from journalists asking us for information about it! I dread to think how many more enquiries we would have got had we used a wire.
