How well does article submitting work for driving traffic to your sites? Do you actually see results?
A lot better results in "shopping" world meaning physical products, than for digital. Of course it depends what keywords you target.
Between article marketing and link building - that's where all of my traffic comes from. Yes writing articles can be tiresome but it works, plain and simple. Submit only to the top directories. There's no point in submitting an article to as directory that's not even indexed by google. With article marketing you need to take massive action. Write more than 1 article a day. Take the time and do it right. That's how you'll see results.
see this list http://www.vretoolbar.com/articles/directories.php also, consider the article directory in my signature.
I do not submit articles to get traffic directly....this is not a good source. But the backlinks DO help in SEO which drives up my keywords...which then drive traffic.
That is one thing most people do not understand there is backlinks with articles as well as the ranking of the top article. so it is kind of that you go in circles trying to get links, links, links... however, there are some link automation systems to look into.

Ofcourse article marketing works well if you go about it the right way. If you are good at writing and picking the right keywords you article can easily get to the top of SERP.
you`ll get traffic only if you publish your articles to trusted directories like ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com
There's definitely a place for it - I've seen so many websites ranking in competitive niches, and most of their backlinks are from article sites. It shouldn't work so well, but sometimes it does.
Article marketing is a very good way of driving traffic to your site and also building some backlinks. The best article directory is ezinearticles.com
Article Marketing should be done mainly for backlinks, not to drive traffic to your site. Good quality articles, of course, help bring traffic to your site, but that shouldn't be the main purpose.
It works extremely well although it taken some time for it to properly rank in the search engines. Once you do manage to do that, dude!!! you're in for a hella lot of cash.
Article marketing works well if you can get them to accept your article. The moderators are very vigilant and can spot a spun article a mile away. Unique content is vital and ensure that you don't have too many quotes or mention of company names on sites such as Ezine as they wont always accept it. Read the guidelines carefully so you can argue your case should they not accept your submission, they're very reasonable it getting back to you and allowing resubmission
