I am trying to submit some articles in several article directories in a hope of getting traffic and backlinks. The only good one I know is eZine. I would appreciate if you guys can list me other good and top rated article directories for article submission. Also any tips regarding this topic would be greatly appreciated. I am an absolute newbie on this article marketing and link building thing! Looking for your advices!
I haven't done research myself into article directories, but I recently came across an article that the author had researched the top article directories based on their PR and Alexa Rank. EzineArticles.com GoArticles.com ArticleDashboard.com SearchWarp.com ArticlesBase.com iSnare.com SelfGrowth.com Buzzle.com ArticleCity.com IdeaMarketers.com
If your primary goal is getting traffic from your articles, then I would focus on eZine. If you want to build links, then spread them out over the top 5 sites.
