Reading about Link Building strategies in various forums and blogs I find that a lot of people tend to consider article submission as a bad LB technique.
Their arguments are not wrong or insignificant. The problem with article submission is that most people expect a single technique to bring major results when this is quite impossible.
Applying a LB strategy requires a number of different techniques with great timing and continues effort. Not all techniques have the same cause, nor the same results or must be applied at the same time. If you expect results bigger than what something can really offer it is natural that when you dont get these results you will be disappointed and dismiss the technique as useless.
Article submission in directories is something that should be applied and really help a website.
Why is that?
If you run a new and small website, your rankings will be low at first no matter how good your content is. It takes time for search engines to evaluate good material and quality websites (with the way they do it).
When you try to make your website known you must think that you must attract people, not just SE spiders.
Lets say you can write a quality original article about any subject related to your website. If you post it on your website its difficult for every one to find it. No matter how good it is, your rankings in a relevant search will be very low. Posting this article to a respectable directory means it might be read by numerous visitors. Thus you will lead a lot of people interested in this information to your website. You give people the chance to find out your webpage. You bring real people not just crawlers to your website. There is nothing more important than that.
Now there are also a few mistakes you can do. First make sure that your website also contains good original content. If someone followed your article and found an empty website then all you did is a waste of time.
So dont just post articles around the web without first making you website a source of valuable information.
In bottom line use articles as a way to bring people to your website as one of the link building techniques you will use. First of all put some original content in your website. Then use all the techniques you can to bring people and SE to your website.
Use article submission from times to times, by submitting interesting and original articles. It is an easy and simple way that will take only a small amount of time but can give you some serious results

When reviewing a submitted link, we take into account a number of things before accepting it.

We dont want every website to be a web design marvel but to be good enough to be read without any effort or browser errors by a visitor.
