See the ranking status and PR value of the directories, otherwise you can't get hits from a week article directory
I'd spend a couple of dollars and use isnare's article submission service. It'w worked well in the past for me.
SearchStatus in FF will allow you to check PR, Alexa, Complete, and MozRank. Not sure what Complete is, though, or whether those other factors matter much to Google organic results (other than PR, obviously).
If you go with article marketing for links make sure to stick with the few better ones and only send unique content. Do not send the same article to more than one of them. I have a method myself I use for SEO projects for clients as well that is a form of blog submission that works extremely well.
I believe EzineArticles will get that PR back soon. They are having some nasty article quality checks going on in there. That should only help their PR.
It is good idea you submit article to directory, but I love submitting article to some website which provide a nice link back to my website wheteher it charge me a little.
EzineArticles is definitely still the best, but after Panda they have become much more particular in the submissions they allow. If it is quality content, that is definitely the best. Also, effective spinning of your articles that brings unique content will allow you to mass submit without punishment.
To increase the PR you have to off-page seo your website. Like social bookmarking, directory submission, article submission, blog posting, blog commenting, forum posting etc.

Alternatively, you try to use others way such as: Something else that will help you with your blog marketing is exchanging links with authority blogs and websites that are in your same market is another great way to get the word out about your blog. The authority sites are going to have a higher page rank, and will also be listed high in Google’s search results. So do some searches and check those out and see if they are up to exchanging links. If they are not, you could always just add those into your blog roll. You do not need permission to do that if they are not into linking. However, in the world of blogs, most blog owners are thankful for all links, and are willing to return the favor. This is a great way to market your blog that some do not think about or use. If you use this technique to get your blog seen, you will not be sorry. You can even use this for website marketing, and you will see a lot sites do that.
