PRWeb extends its reach by launching more than 500 global and local news feeds categorized by country or U.S. region to provide more targeted distribution options for users.
Ferndale, WA (PRWEB) June 29, 2007 -- PRWeb®, a leading online news distribution service and a Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS) company, has expanded its distribution capabilities by creating more than 500 new global and regional Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds to extend the reach of its news and information. PRWeb users will now have the ability to include their news in specific country or regional RSS feeds to more accurately target their news.
With more than 2 million RSS news feeds downloaded more than 10 million times each month by consumers, journalists, bloggers and web sites, PRWeb already has the most news feeds of any online news distribution service. Through the new country feeds, PRWeb customers will be able to reach their global audience and effectively generate international awareness. Additionally, the new regional feeds allow PRWeb customers to tailor their news release to better target online audiences, journalists and bloggers interested in localized news and information.
"RSS is becoming the standard through which news and other information is distributed over the web," said Bill Wagner, Chief Marketing Officer of Vocus, Inc. "By adding these additional local and international RSS feeds, we are able to increase the global reach for our customers while at the same time enabling them to target their news to local audiences."
In addition to meeting the changing customer and audience needs, the new RSS feeds also provide PRWeb content partners with an increased ability to distribute its news. Content partners now have the ability to publish PRWeb news feeds based on Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and country. The feeds are available for subscribers using basic RSS and Atom.
