Based on a very experienced press release specialist, Mondays are NOT very slow news days.  If you submit on a Monday, your PR will probably be overlooked and your PR won’t be published online.  Why is this bad?  Besides the direct traffic press releases generate, less online PR sites will build backlinks to your site by publishing your release.  Worst of all, many editors and influential bloggers won’t notice your release and you’ll miss out on the news buzz and blogosphere buzz that a good press release is supposed to produce.

What’s the best day to release a press release?  Thursday.  Thursday is the day of the week where press rooms are slowest.  You’ll have a better shot of getting your PR noticed on Thursday (US Time).
