2.  More traffic to your site.  A well written article can generate tons of free traffic to your site for months to come, if not years.

3.  Many press releases are released to hundreds, if not thousands, of news outlets.  They get spread out all over the web.

4.  Instant credibility - a well written press release can garner instant credibility or personal branding to help you get people to your site

5.  Many press release sites are free - just another free advertising method.
