I am not necessarily a big fan of low rent news and article blast services.
Particularly when it comes to article submission sites, I have found that the articles distributed in this manner often wind up on marginal websites. These may actually do more harm than good because context is everything, and I am not sure how it helps the brand or thought leadership efforts when an article gets posted on a spam blog (I am open to being convinced otherwise, and have tweeted requests for case studies, but so far there have been no takers).
However, I am sometimes asked by cash-contrained startups about these types of services, and have compiled a list of 41 (including pricing where applicable). The list can be found on the Social Fluency blog.
