PRNewswire to auction off-peak press releases with SEO via eBay

PRNewswire is having some fun in the slow summer months by auctioning off ten press release distribution packages on eBay.

According to the eBay listing: “Winner of this auction may distribute one news release of 400 words or less via PR Newswire's US1 Newsline. Distribution timing will be at PR Newswire's discretion, Friday through Sunday.”

I love this type of viral marketing efforts and tip my hat to PRNewswire for doing it. The auction has just started, so it will be fun to see where the bidding goes. This sort of release is worth hundreds of dollars at list price. At the time of this post, I’m highest bidder, but I don’t think that my current bid of $31 will last very long!

A London police officer apprehends a cycling priest for letting go of the handlebars so he could pray while on the move: "I hate to do this, reverend, but I'm going to have to fine you five pounds for cycling without due care on a public highway."

"Oh golly Moses!
I assure you there was no real danger, officer. Did you not notice how the guiding hand of the Lord was steering me in and out of the traffic?"

"I can't say I did, sir. But since you come to mention it, that'll be another five pounds for carrying a passenger."

Doesn't PRNewswire already do this sort of press release service now a days? I could've sworn I'd seen it offered straight off their site, but maybe it was a different press release service...
