February 2006 is Podcast Month at PRWeb

PRWeb™, the Internet's leading direct-to-consumer press release distribution platform, has declared February 2006 Podcast Month at PRWeb.com to celebrate the increasing popularity of podcasts as a way of distributing news online.

During the month of February, PRWeb editors will select up to five news releases a day with podcast-related news and upgrade them to the $200 distribution level free of charge.

The free upgrade for podcast-related news releases entitles these PRWeb customers to one of PRWeb's premium distribution options to gain maximum online visibility for their podcast announcement.

PRWeb press releases carrying a contribution of $200 enjoy the unmatched power of search engine optimization and PRWeb’s SEO toolset, which includes enhanced statistical reporting on the online distribution of the release and activation of rich text anchor links. Other premiums at the $200 level include EyeCaster banner rotation, custom RSS/XML feed, file attachments, next day distribution and a donation to Unitus, a global microfinance accelerator.

Companies who use PRWeb™ for their press releases gain affordable brand reinforcement, reputation management and expert status for their businesses, including their podcasts, podcast software or other podcast-related services.

A team of PRWeb editors will select the podcast-related news releases eligible for the Podcast Month upgrade during February. PRWeb customers who want to nominate a pending news release for the upgrade may send a message through our Help Desk at https://console.prweb.com/prweb/support/index.php and specify “Podcast Month Nomination” in the subject line. Our editors will make the final determination on the upgrades.
