You have your brand new website, it is all ready, seoed to the hilt - but you want that one big mention in the national press to trigger the start of your new venture.
You want to get your press release seen by as many people as possible.
There is a lot of services you can submit to here is a list of a few.
A quick word of advice, if you are submitting direct to a magazine or newspaper do your research! Make sure your press release is in keeping with the publication and most of all NEWSWORTHY. Look for similar stories in the publication and make a note of the journalists name. Need a little help, check out a press release writing service like http://lowcostpr.co.uk/
Big hint: If you are emailing press releases yourself DO NOT have the press release as the attachment. Have it all in line in the email. Have a couple of lines of introduction, followed by your name and contact number, followed by the press release text.
If you have more information, PDF or medi pack include a link, but do not attach to the email.

Many merchants - including PurelyDiamonds publish RSS feeds. These may be of Top Ten products (like purelydiamonds feed://www.purelydiamonds.co.uk/purelydiamond/rss/topten.xml on AffiliateWindow) or blog entries with news of new products.
Some merchant, like amazon now allow you to build specific feeds with the affiliate code embedded (amazon instructions here)but what about the others. How can you use these feeds on your sites?
Many affiliate programs allow you to add a tracking link direct to a URL, some you need to add code at the start (like affiliatewindow), others you need to add the code at the end, and others you need to add code at both the start and end of the URL.
With static pages, not generated by a CMS or blog (like wordpress) you can add feeds using a little PHP, you can dowload MAGPIE RSS here. This is a set of code files that you need to unzip and upload to your website, just follow the instructions.
If you are not so technically minded you might want a script like RSS2HTML you will jsut have to edit the template file so that the affiliate tracking code buts up to the ~~~FeedLink~~~ parameter, either code before:
http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=1992&awinaffid=!!!ID!!!&p=~~~FeedLink~~~
or after:
~~~FeedLink~~~&ref=123456
For example.
Making sure that the tracking portion immediatly follows / preceeds the URL code with no spaces.
If you have a wordpress blog my good friend Keith Bond has created a plugin for using RSS in blog posts and pages, you can now add the url tracking and this will automatically populate all links from the feed!
