Does article submission still work?

    As we've just got hit with the second round of Panda update, I wonder, is it still worth doing article submission or better concentrate on other things? What do you, guys, think?

    No its not working now. choose 5-6 top article directories and submit different articles on them(not the same).

    Well for my opinion Directory Submission still worth a lot.... by submitting directory you can get many back link from the directory submission and which helps a lot getting page rank.

    A lot of the major article submission sites had their rankings and traffic slaughtered as a result of Google's original Panda update a few months back. Looks like a clear statement about Google's opinions of these content sources.

    A few people are confusing article submission with directory submission in these comments; they are generally very different things of course, although some directories do invite article submission.

    Article submission is probably one of the few things that do still work.

    Yes it still works. Key to success will be using one content on one website only.

    I would say Article submission is debatable. You are better off writing some great content for yourself and submitting to social media places.

    Yes, but ONLY UNIQUE ARTICLES should be submitted, or the google panda update will get your site penalized for duplicate content.

    Yeah but you need to make sure your content is unique, posting dupe content everywhere isn't working anymore :)

    Although they still hold importance in SEO but now a days content is the king, so try to do as much as possible on site work with quality keywords and unique content.

    Article submission is still one of the most effective ways of getting traffic and quality backlinks to your site. The only needed is make sure your content is not spun, it should be unique and with quality.
