For 25 years, eTurboNews (eTN) has been proud to serve the travel and tourism industry with time-sensitive, relevant news and reports, which you can only find here. We love unique and engaging content, including earned media. We never charge for our award-winning, timely, and unique news items you can only find on eTurboNews.
Earned media became an essential challenge for our hard-working team’s survival. We welcome newsworthy earned media stories and understand that PR agencies are hired to get free media content. Together, we can make this happen. You may mention a brand, destination, event, or research. You may include a do-follow link.
What we ask from you in return? Please suggest a fair earned media contribution, based on your or your client’s budget, cirumstances, and priorities.
Of course, there is no guarantee, but our editors will prioritize based on your offer and ensure (if posted) your release receives maximum attention, search engine SEO support, and best positioning on eTurboNews including possilble syndication based on content.

Our Challenge with Newswire Services
News wire services andmatchmaking brokers for “travel journalists” promise free “pick-up” by bloggers, influencers, and news publications. This is usually a hoax, and the million-view coverage on inflated reports provided to their clients is based on invisible back pages of giant media outlets.
If picked up, it will create a real issue for any serious news outlet, such as duplicate content, Google downgrades, and irrelevant distribution of articles hardly anyone notices. eTurboNews concentrates on relevant audiences in the travel and tourism world.
If you have already posted on PR Newswire or another wire service,click here so that eTurboNews can pick up your content.
TravelwireNews is meant for busy travel industry readers; its articles do not exceed 300 words. Once a day, a summary of all articles is emailed to 180,000 travel and tourism industry subscribers and posted to targeted social media.
Our Ranking
Among all major travel industry publications, eTurboNews is number 1 with backlinks; all are 100% do-follow. We’re number 3 in linking to relevant story sources and 5 in overall news portal ranking. Considering 106 independent language sites under the eTurboNews domain, this ranking for some of our primary languages is likely higher.
eTurboNews is known for being timely, unique, and opinionated. It is among the top-rated travel and tourism news sources in searches and news aggregators such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Duck Duck Go.
The Importance of Search Engines
More important than having an article appear in a publication*(pick up) is positioning it in the search world. Push notification e-newsletters create short-term visibility depending on the number of subscribers and their interest in your content. Still, Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Duck Duck Go will decide the success of your story.
Therefore, our key focus is to generate the best possible ranking for any article or press release on all major search engines. We research content, headlines, excerpts, keyphrases, and trigger words so our posts can compete with similar searches. This will ensure increased and prolonged openings and a long shelf life. Links in such articles will increase visibility for the person the article focuses on. Many of our posts can be easily found even years after publication.
2,500+ local, national, and international media outlets. We will always ensure original coverage without destroying your reputation and Google penalties for repeat content among publications, bloggers, and journalists.
