Like Pertinax said, Reddit can drive a lot of traffic to a post, as long as the post is relevant to the sub & doesn't come across as spammy. Also, there are paid advertising networks that specialize in promoting blog posts, articles, etc. like Taboola and Outbrain.

Press releases are great if they're used the way they're intended to, and your story gets picked up by news media & other sites organically link to yours. As others said, if you're just using them to get links from random press release sites, then yeah, don't expect too much ROI.
