However, even a well-written press release doesn't have much power if it's not distributed to the right audience.
<h2>Choosing a Press Release Distribution Website</h2>
The right PR distribution site has to be able to give you a large amount of power. The site should meet a few qualifications including:

	<li>A Google Page Rank of 4 or higher - Anything lower than a PR of 4 shows the site doesn't have much credibility.</li>
