Those of you that submit to ***********************

[Liam Hamer]

I'm submitting to it for the first time, but am a little confused about the whole 'funding' function. I want to submit a Premier release, which supposedly costs $1 but when I try to add the funds it seems to want to charge me a minimum of $20. There seems to be an option to link to them on your site, and after they have reviewed it, they will add 'credits' to your account. I don't really want to do that because a) I want to get this release up now and b) my site is completely unrelated to press releases/IM. My question is - do I have to pay $20 to submit a $1 press release? A 'custom' one is $30, perhaps this is how they get you to opt for that one. Like I say though, I'm new to the site so wanted to check with those of you already in the know. Many thanks

I paid $20 for them almost about year ago.. Placed my bid to show up higher on the front page. Worst $20 I ever spent as a 2nd press release I did and did not pay anything or bid got more views than the one I paid for..

Best thing to do for you is test ... Sometimes testing cost a little money.

I see, it's not so much that I mind paying $20, it's just the fact that it's advertised as 'free' and then the premier option is advertised as $1. I assumed I'd just have to pay $1 via Paypal or whatever and I'd be good to go....

Many places have a minimum when paying by paypal because you paying $1 by paypal they would be lucky to 75 cents ... Thus why a minimum ..

Good point, I'll go for the $20 then and I'll be able to use the credits for other sites in the future

[Liam Hamer]

Hmm, I've paid the $20 and it's not showing in my account I did it via Digital River and Paypal. Does it take a while to show in your account or should I contact them?

You can use the service as far as I
understand it for free.

When you pay $20 however, your
account will be given 20 credits i.e.
you can place 20 press releases at
a cost of $1 each over any period
of time. It's also very easy to check
your viewing stats for any given
press release.

It's a very small fee to pay for a
near instant page 1 position on
Google.

When you put your press release
together, you'll see the option at
the bottom of the page to link
your press release directly to
your website with a link displayed.

It's a great service, I use it as
regularly as possible.

I hope that helps Liam.

Best wishes.

Page 1 for my targeted keyword will do nicely Thanks for sharing your experience with them Mark. My credits still haven't shown up in my account yet, hopefully they will soon

[Liam Hamer]

Thanks again Mark, I've E-Mailed them just to make sure everything is OK as my credits still haven't showed up in my account yet
