I came across a post at Search Engine Weblog of a list of
11 free press release distribution sites. These sort of lists are great and
they usually spark some other idea in my head. WM has discussed the value of
press release for general media exposure and long term search engine penetration
for link building time and time again, but with the rise of "no-follow" tags,
you must be selective about where you spend your time submitting your press
releases. None of those sites listed at the aforementioned blog, utilize
no-follow - so that's good for your link building efforts.
