RSS News Feeds have always been a big part of PRWeb’s news release distribution. In addition to the several hundred RSS News Feeds available for industries and topics, PRWeb now provides over 500 RSS News Feeds for countries and RSS News Feeds for U.S. cities. These feeds are based on the choice of country and MSA (metropolitan statistical area) made when setting up the news release, giving the release even more opportunities to be viewed by people with regional interests. Additional RSS choices also give the media and webmasters more flexibility in selecting content from PRWeb for story leads and content for Web sites.

It is now easier to prepay for a campaign of press releases. Prepayment eliminates the need to provide a credit card each time a press release is submitted. A new campaign prepay calculator makes this even easier by providing the total pre-funding amount needed for the desired number of press releases and add-ons (e.g. podcasts) you want to use for a campaign. Once you have selected your campaign choices, you can make the prepayment using your credit card or PayPal account.
