10 Free Sites to Post Your Press Release or Article
With limited public relations and social media budgets, it's important to maximize budgets. I recently searched for sites to place press releases and articles at no cost...hope this can be of help to others.

A dynamic blend of traditional PR and a more progressive, conversational method, our Social Media Release opens doors and engages readers with multimedia content shared via Google News and apps like Facebook, Twitter and more.

http://www.digg.com
Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. Everything on Digg — from news to videos to images — is submitted by our community (that would be you). Once something is submitted, other people see it and Digg what they like best. If your submission rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of our visitors to see. Because Digg is all about sharing and discovery, there’s a conversation that happens around the content. We’re committed to giving every piece of content on the web an equal shot at being the next big thing.

Both online marketers and PR firms can take advantage of free press release distribution service to reach potential customers or target readers through various news channels.

http://www.reddit.com
Reddit is a source for what's new and popular on the web. Users like you provide all of the content and decide, through voting, what's good and what's junk. Links that receive community approval bubble up towards #1, so the front page is constantly in motion and (hopefully) filled with fresh, interesting links. choose your title carefully -- make it useful, provide context, and be descriptive. Be careful though, if you're too aggressive it could backfire. Phrases like, "Vote this up to spread the word!" or "AMAZING!" tend to annoy most redditors, who will make sure your post doesn't see the light of day.

http://www.newsvine.com
Like a newspaper column, your Newsvine column is a place to write about or point to (seed) anything you consider newsworthy. It could be an eyewitness account of a news event you observed or just an editorial piece about something that happened to be in the news that day. The only two requirements are that the item not be self-promotional, inflammatory, or otherwise against the Code of Honor, and that it could be considered "newsworthy" by a reasonable person.
