ABNewswire

ABNewswire is a pay-per-release press distribution service based in the United States, with its head office at 10432 Balls Ford Rd, Suite 300, Manassas, Virginia 20109. The site does not name a legal entity or registration number; the copyright line runs 2012-2026 and a Canadian office is listed as opening soon.

Every submitted release goes through editorial review before publication. Distribution runs through the company's own newsroom and partner news portals. It advertises guaranteed inclusion on 400+ high-authority sites on its /why-us page while the homepage claims 500+, a media-contact database of 1.4 million-plus, up to five live links per release, syndication to more than 100 blogs, and posting to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tumblr accounts. Named outlets include USAToday, APNews, ABC/CBS/FOX/NBC affiliate sites, Google News, Bing News, BarChart, StreetInsider and openPR, with secondary syndication through the NIE Circuit to AP, Factiva, LexisNexis and Bloomberg.

There are four product lines. Web-only distribution is $50 per release. Targeted media outreach starts at $80, priced by reach at local $80, regional $100, nationwide $120 and global $180, with local and regional distribution limited to the United States and Canada. Press-release writing costs $30. White-label reseller packages for PR and marketing agencies are $50 for a single release, $200 monthly, $450 quarterly and $1,000 yearly, with bulk packs of 20, 50, 100 and 200 releases; multi-release plans carry reasonable-usage caps in the terms, such as up to 14 releases a month or 31 a quarter. Volume discounts run from 10% to 30%.

Two caveats worth flagging for buyers: the site's own knowledge base carries an article titled "Google: Links In Press Releases Should Use Nofollow Like Paid Links", which sits awkwardly against the sales copy about live links and SEO value, and the distribution page still lists legacy channels such as Alexa, Excite, Lycos and Dogpile. The similarly named ab-newswire.com is a separate operation and not the same company.
