While we do both, I think that article marketing is a LOT better, you get highly relevant links + traffic! We submit about 3 to 5 articles everyday to sites like ArticlesLane.com, Ezine or Go Articles.
for me article submission is better than directory submission because it generate tons of links. Try to used auto approve article directories Im sure you will gain lots of traffic and links especially rankings within a short period of time.
I say they work best in conjugation w/each other. But separately, I believe article submission is better that directory submissions.Â
Both techniques have their own importance.But article submission is better than directory submission.
Undoubtedly article submission is lt more better than directory submission because. Directory submissions are approved fast than article but at last it weighs less than article submissions. So i strongly suggest you for the article submissions.
Both methods to get backlinks are very easy, important and faster, but you should do these activities in do-follow directories and try to submit fresh and unique content and don't try to do spamming.
