    Do not expect a very fast result as submission to article directories and people to firmly belive that you provide quality content takes some time to sink in.

    As you might have understood by now, time is an important factor and that you need to spend it wisely and in wide proportions, be aware and keep building links(valid and valuable) so that you can rank better and better in the time to come.

    I use it a lot and it works really well for me.

    Huge number of backlinks if used aggresively!

    You must mix this technique with other ways of getting links.

    Cheers,

    Well I wouldn't say it's a complete waste of time but it certainly doesn't carry as much weight as it used to.

    Articles do help... But it is quite time consuming, even if you outsource the writing process.

    Doing articles helps boost your traffic. It can get traffic from google and you can stumble them on StumbleUpon to get a lot of views!

    submitting articles is definitely a good thing! giving you many backlinks... but it should always be used in combination to other techniques to generate sales.

    cheers, :)

    Ca some one give a list of directories to say a top 100, in order for us to use it? and another question for the reciprocal articles should I copy the html that they give and post it on my web page and after that in the reciprocal url section to enter the address where I have posted their "link"?

    Article submission is not a waste of time. The problem is some directories which unfortunately can be copied by others and so you become a spammer without knowing it. Major directories are fine (like Ezine,....) but you have to pay. Whatever, they bring you good traffic too!
