Hi, Do press releases help? If so, which one do you use? Do they help in terms of SERPS? (Secondary to links?)
I use press releases when I launch a new site and when I offer new products or services. They've worked pretty well for me in past.
It may get you a few links and you can usually see a good spike of traffic in google analytics on the day and day after a press release - try targeting the local newspaper for a little article then you can get regional exposure and very targeted visitors..
Yes press releases do help in bringing traffic. There should have been something new and interesting going on in your organization that you want to release through press. Links given by seodilip are really good PR sites.
