I might just have to try it out for my small business. This might be able to complement my current plans well -- getting a team of people to make a few short videos to put on YouTube and AdWido.

I'm looking at ExpertClick for two other clients of mine who simply need a place where they can be found, but more so, where they can distribute news releases affordably and have those be found! Like any business, there is a never-ending stream of things to do to grow it and keep it profitable. @RedHotFranchises Thanks for the comment.

There are way more expensive PR services, of course. And there are free profiles in various directories, but a close runner up to ExpertClick, I have not seen yet. They are probably out there, though. T hey Martin

It is like a package of a yearbook, PR, and so on. Still it is a bit of an investment, but I think it could well worth it. TJ: Could you list some other players on the PR service market with similar products and services like ExpertClick? Rose,

I can see both sides on the cost of ExpertClick. I see it as inexpensive, but I know that many will see it as pricey. As an example, although it isn't really my line of work, I have helped distribute three releases in the last 2 months for a client and they spent $1,500 to do it. Most of these releases were not for the media to pick up and do a story (although that happened a bunch), but to help customers find them. If you view PR these days as SEO-PR, then you can see the cost value. Thanks Martin for the article links. I'll go check it out. Yes, you read it right: 52 releases per year for the annual fee. That's a lot of news releases. Thankfully, though, the service gives more than just that. Thanks everyone for the comments and thoughts. I can see both sides on the cost of ExpertClick.

With a larger price tag, that means that members who join are professionals who take their expert status seriously. That way you're not just getting anyone joining just to get seen.

There seems to be a lot of services provided and a heavy emphasis on the SEO aspects (which I like to see). If you're seriously an expert (like Anita) then this could be a wise investment.
