That's great. I submitted a press release at PR.com about Japanese car auction for my client's company. It was picked up by Google News though I did not submit it. So it is not necessary to submit your news to Google News directly. PR.com worked well for me.

But the traffic I receive from Google news for that news article is not all that great - I think it depends on the keywords. Not many people will look for the word 'car auction' in Google News.
