or just do to do follow article directories? i`m interested in links and less in traffic from article directories
There are many which don't attach rel="nofollow" to their article/bio links. Go after those. I'm sure you have found the "top ten dofollow article directory" lists on Yahoo and Bing. So you have plenty to choose from. The only reason I would submit to one using nofollow is for traffic.
If you want to increase your rank in search engines, it's better to choose dofollow directories, my favorite is Squidoo.
I like EzineArticles. They are dofollow and their articles rank pretty high so you could get some nice traffic from it too.
Yes, submit to articlesbase even if they don't give you a dofollow link. The thing is the articles from this website always get picked up by blogs and other websites (with your bio box included), and some of them will give you the dofollow link you want
Don't hesitate to submit your website to articlebase even if they are nofollow. Nofollow links can help to increase your SERP so don't worry. This is very popular article website so it will also give you good amount of traffic if you put a great article over there.
