Stick to the reputable services over the free ones, at least they publish to a wide audience and if the release is genuine news, you may pick up some additional visits. @ Paul Bruce.

Many companies (wire services) are selling "SEO Press Release" services claiming that they will help increase a site's ranking and help them achieve first page results for their keywords. Once and for all....True or False?Thanks Matt! Matt,

I previously thought Google could not be communicated with regarding organic searches.

The reason I ask is that my site map is really designed for crawlers, not people and has many more links than 100.

Many link sellers refuse to put links to certain sites on their pages. That constitutes just as much editorial review as Yahoo! places in links that it sells (especially considering that they charge annual fees for their paid links).You seriously need to stop trying to convince people that Yahoo! doesn't sell links.

You're treading on extremely thin ice on this issue, as you always have been, and the inappropriate exclusions for Yahoo! really do infuriate many people in the Webmastering community.
