Apart from the usual on-page SEO methods such as keyword research and meta tags and usability, there are also off-page SEO techniques such as blog commenting and press releases. Do you think press releases are effective for building a healthy back-link profile or are they seen as web-spam?

Don't count them out though, you can still benefit from them if it's done right.
Don't pay someone $10 to do 50 press releases because you're basically paying for an automated system to push out the same article to a couple hundred press release websites and hoping for some to stick. Doing it this way will ensure you only get the low quality ones to stick and this will probably just hurt your site more than help.
If you can do the press release yourself and guarantee that each website you're posting on has a unique article (Not spun, but uniquely written) this will ensure a higher acceptance rate of your submissions and you can get your information onto better websites that get loads of traffic and are actually credible.
This does take a lot of time since you have to write each post yourself or have someone write if for you. Let's say you have 20 news releated websites you want to post on and you get a unique article on each of them. Each of these articles should have taken you at least an hour to put together. Whaaaatttt?!?!?!?! 1 hour?!?!?!?! Yeah, an hour. If you don't want to be serious about putting everything together and branding your business, then quit now lol. Now even after you put in your 20 hours of writing, this doesn't guarantee it'll be accepted. If they don't get accepted, you can always put the content on your own website so it's not a total loss
Thanks,
