Press Release 001

"Of course I'm a publicity hound. Aren't all crusaders? How can you accomplish anything unless people know what you are trying to do?"

- Vivien Kellems

What you need is publicity for your website, business or project.

What we offer is a means of doing that.

And, in the process, Press Release 001 aims to give power to you, the user, as you publish with us.

Press releases have been around since 1906, when Ivy Lee, the father of modern PR, invented it for Pennsylvania Railroad, a client of his at the time.

In the Internet Age, this form of PR has taken a whole new twist, as it's not just professional journalists who need this information, but also the multitude of bloggers and web writers.

Hell, if you can catch a few of the Joe Public on the way too, then all the better: Over one billion internet users are not to be sniffed at.

Communication, as always, is the key, but players in this field have increased in size and diversity.

And you need all the means at your disposal to reach these players and publicists.

We want the submission procedure to be as feature rich as possible for you.

So, instead of picking just one category like other press release services on offer, you can also create your own by adding tags.

Also, enter your own meta keywords and description to help enable search engines list your item more prominently in their rankings.

Create your own anchor text too for a website link.

A site constructed for accessibility

But it's not just the submitter who gets a good deal: it's also the reader.

PressRelease001.com aims to be a triumph of function over design so we've made sure that the pages render quickly - Content is King at Press Release 001 and we know that the reader doesn't want to be distracted by unnecessary pictures, pop-ups and diversions.

Every page too is scalable to meet the demands of those with accessibility issues or those with large screen resolutions.

We've spent a long time making sure that this site works well on all browsers: Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer. Although, for optimum enjoyment of PressRelease001.com (and for all other websites for that matter!), we recommend that you use the excellent Firefox. You can download Firefox for free here .

Subjects allowed

We welcome nearly all subjects matters here at Press Release 001, other than that for the gambling, pharmaceutical and adult entertainment industry.

Also not allowed are the sales or promotion of weapons and ammunition, beer or hard alcohol, tobacco or tabacco-related products, prescription drugs, replicas or imitations of designer goods and term papers or student essays.

We are particularly strict on not allowing items of a racialist or bigoted nature. These sorts of opinions are not welcome on this site.

Profanity is taboo and our anti-swear word filters are very strict on this. If they detect such language then your item will be automatically sandboxed until a member of the admin staff can check it out.

We accept all press releases with good faith and trust that contributors submit items with the best of intentions. However, if you dispute the contents of any piece then please contact us and we will remove the item until a full inquiry has taken place.

Unless our filters are trigged by swear words your content will automatically be published. Most other press release distribution services, perhaps all, demand that your submission goes through an editorial process first.

On Press Release 001 we believe in treating you like adults, not silly little schoolchildren who need to be corrected by the teacher.

Your item, once published, can be edited in any way you like at any time you like and will still remain published.

Amazingly, some press release services don't allow authors to edit their original content after it has been published, while others take your item off-line and demand that any edited items are first subjected to editorial review.

Free press release distribution service

What's more, the service we provide is free; yep, absolutely free: zero $.

We are not quite 100% there yet with creating a feature-rich, tip-top reader and author experience, but we're working on it and we always welcome comments and criticism on how to make this site better.

At the moment, inclusion on the frontpage is entirely at the discretion of the editorial team. We want to promote well-written, interesting items to our readers. If your press release catches our eye, we'll give it star billing on the frontpage. We may also make it a sticky item at the top of the list in its relevant category.

So please go ahead and register at Press Release 001 - it's an easy process and designed to give you access to the submission page as quickly as possible.

If you have any queries regarding this service then please contact us.
