PRLog

Review:

PRLog is a free press release distribution site that offers just as many features as its more expensive competitors, such as EIN Presswire and eReleases. These features include SEO optimization, distribution to major search engines, and custom tagging for targeted releases. However, the site does lack detailed reporting.

Pros:

• PRLog offers a free plan as well as a variety of paid options to suit any budget.
• The site automatically optimizes releases for SEO.
• Users can add location and industry tags for targeted releases.
• The site allows for embedded videos and links in all releases.
• All releases are distributed to popular search engines, such as Yahoo! and Google.
• All releases are distributed to ​javascript, HTML, and RSS feeds.
• Users can receive customized weekly, daily, or customized alerts on their releases.
• The site offers social media integration.
• Users can access free press room hosting.
• Users will receive discounted distribution to journalists and news sites.
• The site offers online support, guides, and tips for writing press releases.

Cons:

• The Free plan contains ads.
• The site is a little outdated and clunky.
• Featured reports only detail where releases have been distributed to.
• PRLog is partnered with PRNewswire.com, but users will need to pay $359.00 per release to access these additional features.

Reputation:

While PRLog is not rated by or affiliated with the Better Business Bureau, it has received 14 customer reviews on G2, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars. Users have praised the free service, interactive UI, and large distribution network.

These reviewers have not noted many negatives, but some do wish that PRLog allowed users to sign up with their Gmail accounts and not only work accounts.
