As the concept implies by itself only press releases can be published on express-press-release.net/free. Anything found not to be a press/news release, regardless its formatting, may not be allowed for publishing on express-press-release.net/free.
Yes. We are very sensitive towards, among others, adult, gambling, pharmacy, MLM, etc. related content and press releases. Those identified as one of the above may quickly be deleted from express-press-release.net/free without prior notice. In addition, generally inappropriate, irrelevant, offensive and unrelated content may also not be permitted for publishing on express-press-release.net/free. Repetitively abusing the system may also result in having your account with express-press-release.net/free closed without prior notice. If you are not sure whether your press release is OK for releasing via express-press-release.net/free, the easiest way for you to figure it out is to have it submitted over to express-press-release.net/free. If your PR is allowable, it will go live the moment it is approved by the editor, in case you are not trusted PR publisher. If it is your first time here trying to take your first PR online, or if your PR is not allowable being a trusted PR publisher, we will then dismiss your press release and you will know that from inside the dashboard.
Lets start off with the very basics about what does your press release need to have in order to be classified as a press/news release.
- Headline / title — try to keep your headline as short as possible. Make sure your PR headline is appealing enough to entice readers. Avoid using ALL CAPITAL letters in your headline;
- Release time — the PR release time is recommended to be in Eastern Standard Time (EST). This is set to be assigned automatically by express-press-release.net/free, so you don’t have to bother with this;
- Body — here is where your press release text goes in;
- Hyper-links — while important for SEO purposes, make sure the number of your in-text hyper-links is kept as minimal as possible (3-5 per standard press release) for better overall results;
- Images — try keeping the number of photos/images embedded in your press release to a reasonable number for better overall readiness;
- Logo — make sure your logo appears at the beginning of your press release as well as it is sized reasonably;
- Video — you are free to embed videos in your press release as well, but make sure it is well placed within your press release text and is viewable online;
- Hype — avoid hype. Just present and support the facts.
- Ending — Ending your press release with ”# # #”, centered, is also considered an integrated thing of properly formatted press release, but is not mandatory;
- First words — always keep in mind that the first words are the most important, so make them count;
- Categorizing — Appropriately categorizing your press release is not only mandatory, but is vital for how well your press release is findable online. You are free to choose as many categories for your press release as you think is appropriate for your particular press release, yet keep the number reasonably low for better overall results;
- Tagging — you are free to use as many tags as you want to associate your press release with, but please bear in mind that your tags must be relevant to your press release;
- Comments — it’s up to you to decide on whether you are going to allow visitors to comment on your press release or not. Each different press release can have its comments ON or OFF, which you can set yourself at the time of publishing;
- Author name — since your press release’s author name is vital and is actually your user name under which you have registered yourself with express-press-release.net/free, it is strongly recommended for you to use a real name or a real company name for your user name when registering with express-press-release.net/free. While this requirement is not mandatory, it is, again, strongly recommended, if you want your press releases to be considered serious enough. At the very least, try to avoid using celebrity names, unless it is your “real you”, offensive words as well as generally nonsense user names.
- Contact information — the contact details are very important for a press release, so make sure you have put yours properly at the end of your press release. The contact details exampled below are considered enough to suffice. At the very least a web site or an email address should be provided instead.

Well, if it depends on us express-press-release.net/free is better off registration free.

In order for your press release to be published instantly online you have to be a trusted PR publisher. To become a trusted PR publisher, your account with express-press-release.net/free needs to be kept in good standing.

Once you’ve become a trusted PR publisher, you can then have your next press releases published yourself on express-press-release.net/free instantly.
To improve your chances of having your press release approved, you need to make sure our editors won’t end up spending time fixing it out. Should our editors end up improving your press release it is no longer considered free press release distribution, so, if, while quickly previewing it, our editors end up seeing improperly formatted (fonts, paragraphs, images, styles) press release with typo, grammar or HTML errors as well as being inappropriately categorized, it is highly likely for your press release to remain inside our pipeline unapproved until it is fixed out or be permanently deleted, if no corrective actions are taken in timely manner by its submitter/author.

* Due to the huge demand for the free press release distribution service the current backlog is approx. 2-3 weeks. Approved trusted free PR publishers/submitters may have their free press releases appear online almost in real time.
Publishing the same or slightly modified press releases, one after another, aside being not tolerable practice, is surely not beneficial for you and your company either, so please refrain yourself from publishing duplicate press releases. Press releases found to be the same or identical may also be taken permanently down from express-press-release.net/free. Repetitively abusing the system may also result in having your account with express-press-release.net/free closed without prior notice. Thank you for using express-press-release.net/free responsibly – it’s surely beneficial for you too.
When you have your press release ready made and you need to just copy it over and paste it into the online form it is always best for you to do that in HTML (click on the tab HTML) mode for better layout and formatting results. In other words try not to paste into the form when you are in visual mode, because you may happen to insert your press release’s content together with formatting carried over from your original document that may not be supported by express-press-release.net/free’s publishing platform and may not work properly resulting in your press release scrambled online.
By logging into your account with express-press-release.net/free, you will be able to freely update, modify, amend or delete both your account information as well as any press release you happened to publish in the past on express-press-release.net/free. Should you also need to close your account with express-press-release.net/free, for one reason or another, you can also do so from inside your dashboard. Notice: keep in mind that should you happened to close your account with express-press-release.net/free, any press releases you have published in the past under this account may also be taken permanently down from express-press-release.net/free.
