traffic volume increase we suggest doing the following:
Provide a link to your press release from your website

Add your press release to social bookmark sites
Promote your press release inside of eWebwire.com
Do you publish all releases that are submitted to you?
As long as a press release is seen as newsworthy and is written with accepted content they are
submitted. Press releases can be rejected if they contain sexually explicit content, profanity as
well as anything that could be cause for legal action such as slander, libel etc.
Also those that submit more than 1 free press release per day may be deleted. In addition,
those that leave incomplete contact information can be deleted or banned.
Can I have a logo or image on a free release?
No. Only paid releases are allotted a logo or image.
Pay attention to your content
Content refers to the news story you are telling. The purpose of a press release is to inform the
world of your news item. Do not use your press release to try and make a sale. A good press
release answers all of the "W" questions (who, what, where, when and why), providing the media
with useful information about your organization, product, service or event. If your press release
reads like an advertisement, rewrite it.
Make yourself newsworthy
Being newsworthy consists of letting editors and reporters know you're doing something of
interest to other people. Have an event (sale or store opening), create or participate in any
occurrence (charity event), support, oppose, or even merely observe a trend or activity. If you
read the story and would find it interesting it's likely to be newsworthy, think informational.
