A press release is not only great for getting quality backlinks, but
it's a great way to get more traffic to your site. The whole purpose of
a press release is to call attention to a person, place, thing, or
event -- you simply write it in the third person while adding some
personality to it.
Your goal is to get the viewers attention and get them to come back to
your site. If you don't know how to write a press release, you can
quickly learn simply by visiting the press release sites and browsing
the various press releases. You can view a sample Press Release at http://www.samplepressrelease.info.

(1) The jury is still out about whether there is added value in getting backlinks from sites in your niche (not talking about getting pass-through traffic, just the backlink value). Many many people feel this is way overrated, me being one of them.
(2) With respect to "do follow", it certainly has a value by google, but really no effect as to yahoo, etc.
(3) You briefly mentioned this sort of thing in the "hitch a ride" section, but IMHO the best and easiest way to get great quality backlinks is from putting links in your profile and forum and web 2.0 properties, where the underlying domain has a high PR. Many of us have had phenomenal success with this linkjuice.
(4) Not everyone agrees as to how much of an issue it is to get tons of backlinks quickly. Many believe that the whole Google sandbox thing is way overrated. If we are talking thousands and thousands to a new domain, then OK. but I don't think throwing a hundred of backlinks at a EZA article a day is going to do anything but help you get to the top of google.
