I know there are a lot of lists of article submission sites but I hoped we could create a list of ONLY sites that meet these parameters: 1. Reasonably simple to use. 2. Approval process and time is reasonable. 4. PR 4 or higher 4. Do follow links allowed 5. Successful articles are proven to be picked up and published by other sites. 6. Articles get indexed and appear in web searches. Ezinearticles is the obvious first choice, but what other sites fit these limits? Ezinearticles has a lot of advantages but the approval process is very slow and they are extremely strict. Articlesbase is another extremely good site. The links are nofollow but if you have a good record of submissions you can make a request to have your your links set to dofollow.
Try these ones: Goarticles.com Articledashboard.com Amazines.com Articlesfactory.com Selfgrowth.com (only in specific niches) Articlecity.com They are by far the most effective for building links
