For the launch of my new game, Vortex - The Escape, I prepared a comprehensive marketing strategy based on what people found to be successful in their own marketing ventures.

While I am doing extensive viral marketing, I also found that people found success with prMac's services.

My question is if anyone has used their writing services before, and if so, how they continued to market their app with prMac after the initial write up?

Do you need to pay for another, or can you just pay to have them feature your existing PR? Is there a limit on how long you can be featured on their sites?

Thanks!

    Yup it's a great service. I've used it a couple times for tiny diggers, it really helps spread the word at $20. Yes u need to pay again for a new PR.

    I used it twice before, and I was very happy with the level of exposure it got me. well worth the $20

    Nice, good to see that they are so reputable. Gonna try AppCraver reviews + tweets as well and report back how that works out!

    its generally accepted that if they want you to pay for a review, stay away. most reputable places will do it for free

    Agreed, AppCraver does free reviews, but offers expedited services. Hopefully they are worth the return on the investment, if all else fails, it was a learning experience!

    If you're paying for a review - "expedited" or not - you've now established a business relationship between you and the reviewer. As a consumer, I would never trust a site that does any kind of paid reviews.

    A very valid point. Not sure the two are mutually exclusive though, I get most of my consumer advice from sites like Cnet, Engadget, TheVerge, etc. and they obviously have business relationships with many of the company's products they review.

    Bias is more or less impossible to avoid, but I definitely see what you mean.
