But as BrickMarketing said, Press Releases were originally meant for newsworthy announcements about a company.
Unfortunately SEOs have blurred the lines... I believe SEOs have gotten tired of waiting of sites like EzineArticles to approve their articles so that they can then be republished on other sites, so they started spamming press release sites with actual articles to get faster results.
