You DON'T need this service if...
- you're a startup or your company has never previously been featured in our
news pages, or if it's been over a year since we last heard from your company.
You can use the site search-engine to check this, but we check our
database automatically for every incoming release and use let stringent
filtering criteria for startups - because we know you may not have the same
level of resources as a long established company.

You MAY need this service if...
- getting high visibility for your press release is really important to your
company, and for whatever reason, you didn't send us a timely relevant press
release which got published, or
- you DID send us a timely relevant press release, but so did a lot of other
companies on the same day, and YOUR release got excluded out by our filtering
process, or
- your promotion strategy is to use saturation PR instead of advertising, in
which case your releases may be getting lower points scores than other
companies, and many of them will get filtered out.

Limitations
the
original press release date must be no more than 30 days before the agreed
sponsored release publication date. News older than this will not be run, even
if you agree to pay for it. You should look at
advertising instead,
which is a more appropriate package for promoting products long after their
original launch date, and may cost less.
We reserve the right not to
run any ad or sponsored item on our web site, if, after having seen the content,
we deem it is not sufficiently relevant to our readers, or if the content
supplied by the advertiser is not judged to be of a sufficiently high standard. |
| To order:-
email your questions or order.
We'll fax you an invoice which you can pay by Amex, Visa, MasterCard, check or
wire transfer. News items will not run until we get your payment. The lead time
for the whole process, assuming you pay by credit card is typically 24 to 48
hours. | |
