Voting for "The Best of PRWeb" Closes in Four Days

Lanham, MD (PRWEB) December 7, 2009

PRWeb, the online news distribution service of Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS), today announced that voting for the best online news release of 2009 will end at the close of business on Friday, December 11, 2009.

Public relations professionals, marketers and small business experts are encouraged to cast their vote online, by clicking on the "vote" button at: http://www.prweb.com/pr/best-online-news-releases-2009.html

This is the final step in a three-phase contest, where PRWeb previously identified the 10 most read news releases according to Google Analytics, and then a panel of expert judges narrowed those 10 down to three. PRWeb is inviting the public to decide which of those three should be named "the best" online news release of 2010.

The top three news releases include those submitted by Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, OpenOffice.org and the NEoWave Institute. The winner will be formally announced on Tuesday, December 15, 2009.

"Some of these releases received as many as 30,000 page views in 2009," said Bill Wagner, chief marketing officer at Vocus. "The contest is not only a fun way to thank our customers for their business, but it's also a great way to showcase those releases that have obtained a phenomenal number of readers."
