URLwire's two site announcement options are as follows:

$695 - Advanced Site Announcement

[Pay $695 via PayPal Now]
If you prefer to pay by check, that's fine, however it will delay the date I make your announcement until the check arrives at my office.

[Pay $695 via Google Checkout Now]

This option includes

I send individual announcements about your site to private URLwire member/contacts that best match your site's subject.

My contacts include hundreds of site reviewers, web guide and best picks editors, email newsletter editors, announcement list moderators, online writers, bloggers, reporters, etc., from around the world. 

Each contact I send your announcement to is selected by me, based on the interest profiles they gave me when they subscribed to my URLwire service. 

Once I cull down my contact list for your site, I typically have somewhere between 300-400 key people I can privately announce your site to. 

Posting the site announcement on its own page on the URLwire web site, like this. 

Posting a headline link, direct link, and summary on the URLwire headlines page.

Posting a headline link on the URLwire homepage in the "New Sites" section.

Publish a summary of the announcement with a link to the full announcement (and a link directly to your site) on the URLwire Blogs and Private Google Groups and MSN Group/Blog.

URLwire RSS Feeds - I'll publish a summary with a link to the full site announcement.

Upon completion of the campaign you will receive an Email confirmation report of all releases sent.

With the $395 service I DO NOT send individual announcements about your site to my private URLwire member/contacts 

Lastly, remember that if I have not yet confirmed with you that I will announce your site, and after seeing the site I decide I will NOT announce it, I will refund your entire payment immediately.  If you are unsure whether your site is a good fit for URLwire, or if you have questions about how URLwire works, send a brief email with your URL to questions@urlwire.com, or use the web based email form over at my EricWard.com site to reach me.

A few comments about URLwire...

"Eric, the sites you send us are exactly what we look for.  Thanks for being on target and not sending junk" —Yahoo Picks of the Week

"Just learned we have been selected by Forbes for their Best of the Web" —Better Homes and Gardens

"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site" —CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive. I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. —Edwin Hayward

"I am very :-) pleased with the results of URLwire".   —YouDrawStraws.com

We got reviewed and added to Yahoo! within 4 days FOR FREE! I'm positive this is a result of your efforts as well. 

"We've been using Eric's URLwire service since 1995, and on more than one occasion had to work closely with our hosting service to keep our servers up under the high traffic loads that resulted".  —CoolShopping.com

"URLwire service has been excellent and given us great exposure already"
—onlinejobmatch

Thanks very much for the note and your work. I also received e-mail that Netscape Open Directory designated TaxPlanet as a cool site with the editor saying it was "the finest tax site I have seen on the Internet." And startingpage.com said it had included TaxPlanet in its Best of Web —TaxPlanet

Thank you for doing such a terrific job of announcing Dreamstop.com.  We've had an amazing response from site reviewers, web magazines and have seen a definite increase in traffic and awareness that is a direct result of your work.  We were extremely pleased with your service,  the results have surpassed what we had hoped for! —Dreamstop.com

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for posting my site announcement. The site has gotten so much good exposure from your posting it is unbelievable... and it keeps coming! 

Just a note to thank you again and give you some feed back on the results of your efforts. We were named a USA Today Hot Site on the 30th following your distribution of the press release and from there we got picked up by a ton of Gannett news sites which still give us some traffic. We also saw hits from Moreover and a couple other news sites. 

Somehow we got indexed right away and have been number one for Amber Alert since. And I never submitted the site to them!
