Can you explain a little more about how to do this? Is there a place you submit your press release to get it "syndicated across hundreds of websites"?

Yes. I'd recommend the SEO press release from PRWEB.COM for $200. The company I work at now, uses it;
We've been syndicated across forbes: http://www.forbes.com/prnewswire/feeds/prnewswire/2007/08/07...
and yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20070823/bs_prweb/prweb548843_...
it's very effective, as you can see. It lead on to other things like industry coverage and free links - we've had numerous travel agents cover us on their blogs or podcasts and a Forbes web article actually printed because of our press releases.

This is GREAT advice. Thank you so much.
Any idea, who can write a nice press release? My English Writing skills are as good as MC Hammer's money management skills.

We have an in house writer, but just put an ad out on craigslist and you should find someone talented enough to write an engaging press release.
Why? 1. It's syndicated across hundreds of websites including forbes.com and yahoo news. 2. People read them constantly to find what's new 3. Writers read them to get new stories 4. People in your industry read them to bring new apps to the limelight with their small audience
and all other forms of promotion should compete with the press release, not supplement it.
