Have you ever used this method? I truly think that press release is just a waste of time. If you are doing submissions to free sites then it will not bring any hits to you, but paid press release sites do work well.
Link Exchange is a risky technique and can put you in lots of trouble. It is better to avoid link exchange.
Before doing all those promotion be sure to have quality content for your site..
I opt for articles, blogs and forums. Social media services (Digg, Twitter). But the best strategy is simply analize your competitors' backlinks.

All the above method you have given works good, but the best and natural way to get the visitors is to write unique and interesting articles that will attract the webmasters to link to your site.
