Article marketing consists of creating articles from your niche, and submitting them to article directories. At the bottom of each article you write, you are allowed to link to your website. There are quite a few article directories that are very highly respected by the search engines, and having links from there pointing to your site is a huge advantage. Additionally, once your article is in the directories, other webmasters will come and publish your article. It is not uncommon for one article to get you several high quality backlinks. I would not suggest submitting to every article directory you can find, but rather just stick with the top few. This would include: http://ezinearticles.com http://goarticles.com http://searchwarp.com http://articlecity.com http://isnare.com Top 50 article directories 1. knol.google.com 1* 7** 2. ezinearticles.com 101 6 3. ehow.com 115 8 NF! 4. hubpages.com 177 6 5. squidoo.com 188 8 6. articlesbase.com 323 6 NF! 7. buzzle.com 535 6 8. associatedcontent.com 551 6 NF! 9. suite101.com 606 7 10. technorati.com 920 8 11. brighthub.com 1,307 6 12. helium.com 1,325 6 NF! 13. gather.com 1,638 6 14. seekingalpha.com 1,818 7 NF! 15. goarticles.com 1,960 4 16. articlesnatch.com 2,043 5 NF! 17. ezinemark.com 2,401 1 18. articlealley.com 2,446 5 NF! 19. bukisa.com 2,526 5 NF! 20. thefreelibrary.com 2,584 7 21. selfgrowth.com 3,346 6 22. xomba.com 3,558 4 NF! 23. ideamarketers.com 4,058 5 24. articledashboard.com 4,269 5 25. infobarrel.com 5,149 4 26. searchwarp.com 5,732 5 NF! 27. articlecity.com 5,766 5 28. amazines.com 5,913 3 29. submityourarticle.com/articles/ 6,085 4 30. isnare.com 6,253 6 31. articleclick.com 6,319 4 32. triond.com 6,409 5 33. sooperarticles.com 6,565 5 34. pubarticles.com 6,803 0 35. selfseo.com 6,919 3 36. articlerich.com 7,186 3 37. articletrader.com 8,075 5 38. articleblast.com 8,103 5 39. a1articles.com 8,142 5 NF! 40. articlecube.com 8,212 0 41. web-source.net 8,557 3 42.

Thats an awesome list.. Also i would suggest everyone to check out the article directories listed at buildmylink.com/dlist/article.html for further submissions..
Well done! This is a very comprehensive list! It is important to remember that there is benefit in having links from different sources, try supplementing these with directories and social links.
They are alexa ranking and google pagerank. Ex: 6. articlesbase.com 323 6 NF! 323 is alexa ranking 6 is google pagerank NF: nofollow
I used to submit my articles to these directories and I really get good benefits in terms of increasing visibility in search engine and influence on traffic..
