    Well, it depends on what you're referring to. If you're talking about those specific article submission websites, then I honestly think that it's too much of a hassle for such little results. But, a website like Digg.com or something like Reddit.com are very good sites to use and they do show good results.

    Submit to the sites yourself.

    Yes, they do work, if done the right way.

    I have used both, the article submitter program, which has recently been upgraded and article marketer, which costs about $70 for 3 months submits all over the net. i find it does give you back links, but whether these links will be valuable in the future will have to see, on search engines like msn, yahoo etc they seem to help but on google not as much really, so for articles good for short term, as they will move about and fade out of the site.

    I wrote an article about it. It can be found here. I think, if done right, it could definitely help.

    Personally, I have tremendous success NOT publishing
    my articles except on my own website. I my case
    engineers are specifically looking for information that my
    articles provide, so I get the direct traffic, I don't have
    to rely on a clickthrough from someone who has already
    read my article.

    This also allows me to do my own advertising, not competing
    with the ads on the article sites.

    I've been recently doing article marketing for the last few weeks. It has been fairly good and consistent traffic. I've got about 10 articles on ezinearticles.com and they are bringing in about 3 visitors per day. This isn't a whole lot, but basically for that 5 hours or so I spent, I will be bringing in targetted traffic here on out. I'm not sure if this is good or bad results, but they are honest ones.

    Go with your passion, submit articles to a handful of well traffic'd article sites and yes, you should get good results.

    Or ... you can mess around for the next 12 months or so, playing with PLR articles and article submission software, set up a bunch of blogs, forget about them, remember them, forget about them again and then realise that all those 'dudes' who rave on about authority sites, uniqueness etc might actually have a point. Oh...did I mention focus?

    Believe me, I've been there, done that and have the max'd out credit cards to prove it!

    Wiz makes a really good point too. And to expand on that a little, do a little bit of keyword research and write some articles for your own site that target some of the keywords that people are searching for. I've only recently started my 'authority' site and I'm seeing some good traffic increases just from writing articles that target some of the popular searches. Because the site is related to my main skills I find the article writing is fairly easy AND over time some of the articles will be expanded into comprehensive guides.

    It helps more to submit articles to industry specific sites. If you go to a particular site in your industry, propose an article to them. They stand to gain content that is hopefully rich in keywords, and you can use the opportunity to get some backlinks.

    Articles are great and they can have long lasting results too. I still get traffic from articles that I submitted years ago!

    Sometimes, though you have to have patience. Keep getting links to your site through article submissions, directory submissions and web2.0.

    It might seem like you are doing a lot of work for nothing, but eventually you will start to see more and more traffic. You just have to be persistant and consistant.
