So you have a new startup company and want some coverage. This post will give you 36 places where you can submit your startup for reviews, mentions or at least some backlinks.
When we launched our public beta in April, the first thing we wanted was some coverage on different startup blogs and websites. We didn’t have a PR company or a bunch of contacts, hence we needed to start from scratch
So I took my sweet time Googling different websites that would take submissions, tips or published their editor’s email. Initially the list got pretty big, but I weeded out websites where you need to be way bigger to get mentioned (Mashable, Techcrunch and the like) or that charge money for a review.
We were pretty happy with the coverage we got and I thought I’ll save you some time by sharing my list.

Don’t forget your good friends at The Atlantic Technology Channel. Particularly if you’ve got something with some social depth: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/
Thanks for publishing this great list! Will definitely come in handy! Did you happen to use any of the free social media press release sites?
Thanks @Johan and @Alexis
@Kerstin No, we didn’t. I think we used a free traditional press release site (without results). We also sent out a press release manually, targeting specific magazines & newspapers. No luck with that either :)
MO.com does entrepreneur interviews with people at all stages – starting to successful. If you feel you have a good story to tell that would interest our readers drop us a line (email me at my first name @ mo.com)
Wow, that’s quite a list. Are they in any particular order?
@Kevin Thanks for the tip
@Phil No, the list is unsorted.
Another good place for reviews is Appvita, and maybe http://www.smashingmagazine.com/
