Ive been using the article websites for links..... Has anyone used any Press Release sites? What are the best free do-follow ones? (i.e. they get good indexing and copied!) Thanks!!

I have used prweb several times you will get significantly better results if you use the paid service rather than the free service. What you pay for is what you get.
I have. The first few weeks I had tons of backlinks...However, they are generally from unranked pages with 0 pr. and after a month or so, all of the duplicates are removed, and I only see 1 backlink per press release, even if it was previously syndicated on dozens of sites.
To get the most out of a press release it needs to be very newsworthy. The trick is to release news that is interesting enough that reporters and others will write their own story based on your press release. Then you will get a flood of traffic to your site. Don't expect junk press releases to help rankings much at all.
I mainly do Press Release Submission to drive traffics to my website. But there are PR websites that are do-follow like 1888PressRelease.com and 24-7PressRelease.com (I submit here always)
We have just developed a site that is a cross between press releases and link exchange that concentrates more on advertising your site than being a press release. Come check it out: www(dot)netforcemarketing(dot)com
my company used to write press releases for every single tiny little news they had. it did bring us media attention though, so i think you should definitely submit releases
I did a pay for press-release, I got about 6,000 no follow links that disappeared in 10 days, and I got about 5 permanent links. Traffic increased around 200 a day for three days. No signups no revenue. Not worth it. If they are freebies, do it, paid for, it is hit and miss. For links I also a site that is a quasi directory quasi article directory site where you can get multiple links. You add articles or even short sentences, even stuff from your blog and you get a link. The rank of your links increases based on your reviews of the stuff that is submitted and based on what you submit. They claim you can also get the ad revenue if your stuff gets a lot of views. You also get link rank credit for referrals. I am not associated with them I opened an account and if sign up through this link I get credits. I don't know how good the links are , but it is all free. http://arnold2001.qassia.com
Don't think it really helped. I am thinking maybe if you add aspects to your press release like "We have a new articles center where you can get content for your site" this might be a good way to get some links as people in your industry may find it. I still feel press releases are a good promotion technique with tons of potential. I think it mostly depends on: A: Your product B: Your ongoing promotion C: The 'Newsworthiness' of your press release If you have built a crappy article site with no unique content, I don't think a press release will help too much. It might (probably will) get your site crawled faster, but not sure if there are too many lasting effects considering press release sites get probably 1000's of new press releases per day and yours gets buried after a matter of days, and sometimes the archived pages don't even get any pagerank.
