I am starting to see more and more people offering cheap article submission to Blog networks. What is your feeling on this when compared to submitting to article directories. I supose an advantage of submitting to blogs is that you can have links back to your site in the content, which is always nice. But on the down side, most blogs that your article is submitted to has little to no page rank.
I prefer to stick to the article directories myself. If you want to keep a good reputation too you need to be careful where you submit articles that have your name on them to. I guess submitting to blogs gets your article out there quickly if it doesn't need to wait for approval but when you think about it, it's not that bad to wait a day or two to have your article approved at Ezine Articles which has a PR7 (I think), which really is the better way to go I think.
If I think of getting piggyback traffic, I would go for Ezinearticles due to the high amount of traffic it receives and the trust Google has to get the approved article indexed in no time. However, in terms of link juice, I will not mind where I submit my articles as long as my links are dofollow as submitting to article directories, we have a PR N/A on our article page to start off as well.
