Hi Blacknight,

Press releases are a really cheap and effective way of getting your company/website/whatever out there.

If you have something of interest promote then I would definitely recommend this avenue. It takes a bit of time and skill to write effective copy (just google it to get some free advice http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&q=how+to+write+a+press+release%3F&met a==)

After you have the Press Release written I would advise you to check out www.medialive.ie where you can find email contact details of all the main media channels in Ireland (Press, Radio, TV). Put the press release in an email and benefit from free advertising.... well hopefully

Press releases are fine, but they don't beat getting mentioned in the Irish Times

True... Share your experiences. Was it this forum that made it into the Irish Times? How did you go about it?

Nice plug.

How did you get featured in the Irish Times? Would've been nice to get a link to your site but all exposure helps.

I recognise the Blacknight name. You've been around for a number of years?
