    I know this may seem like a kind of newbie question, but I've heard a lot about article directories but have never used them for marketing. I have no idea what an article directory is or how it even works, so could anybody explain how they work and maybe list some example sites?

    It is a site that has tons of articles gathered like a library on their site. Your link is at the bottom and provides a quality backlink to your site. ex. ezinearticles

    An article directory is a large collection of short articles usually 500 to 1,000 words in length about various topics. The way internet marketers use article directories is this...

    Article directories typically have a high page rank, so if you write an article and put a link back to your own website it will help your website rank in the search engines. Article directories typically have rules as to where and how many links you can put back to your own website. Usually they reserve an "author's bio" section at the end of the article where you can write something like "Joe Schmo is an expert in internet marketing. He has a blog at [insert your link]." Article also usually have to be manually approved, so the quality of your article must be semi-high.

    Here is a list that you might want to start with... http://www.seoresearcher.com/articles-directories-list-alexa-rating-ordered.htm

    I hope this helps a little...

    I usually depend on the article writer whom I hired and he/she'll be taking care of submitting the articles to the directories

    You can write and submit articles to article directories, you include a link in the resource box so anyone who is interested in your article can check out your website, thus bringing you traffic.

    Article directories are just great for sales leads. In fact, the behavior of most web visitor would actually justify the need for online marketers and merchants to put up an article exploring the benefits of their service and product, respectively.
