Here is an extract from a good article about SEO press releases:

Why Publish SEO Press Releases?
There are plenty of benefits of SEO press releases if you do them correctly:
* Backlinks from credible news sites which increases the ranking of your website or blog for your keywords
* Visibility in search engines
* Ranking in Google News and Yahoo News for your keywords
* Tens of thousands of headline impressions across hundreds of blogs, websites, and news sites that run RSS headlines
* Potential media coverage
* Can help your new website escape from the “Google Sandbox” quickly

Try looking for "seo press release" on Google, the article from hubpages should be among the first, in case you are interested to read the whole thing. It should help you get answers to the questions you asked.

I see a traffic jump after I do a press release,but I'm not sure

Press Release is work as a news letter for your website , so when you are submitting press release on any PR website always place your website link there.
And provides a brief topic description to your target searchers.
If you have some extra time then share your press release on social media sites like facebook, linkedin and twitter.
Thanks,

Press releases are my favourite type of marketing. Being an SEO writer, it's easy for me, and seeing a jump in my sites after submitting a PR is wicked. If you catch them right, they can go viral and journalists can forward the PRs to other forms of media which can make your single PR get totally virally out of hand.

Press release is just like a news. It is written more like an article but it tells about a particular news/story about your site. The news might be like if you have achieved some milestone, if your company is going to organize an event, if new and exciting line of products are going to be launched on your site, so and so forth.
The PR content holds the back-link to your site, and definitely it helps in attaining good Page rank and more visitors to your site.

I hope I have helped you.
