There are lots of article directories out there. I'm trying to work out which ones are worth using, so have made this poll. I included the article directories listed on another thread. You can vote for more than one selection.
What do you think of Buzzle? It has a higher PR than the others. I have just applied to be an author there, but it says that it takes up to 4 weeks.
You have not listed my favorite here, www.articleblast.com, it is a PR5, the articles are instantly approved (you cannot spam, their review is post approval and spam submissions are automatically put into review), backlinks are do-follow, the articles are displayed on homepage for quite sometime to give you enough link love and above all it is much easier to post articles, takes less than a minute, this is my personal favorite.
Many people forget that it's not just the PR of an article directory that's important, but the PR of the page YOUR article if featured and where your subsequent link(s) stems from. Google: "Superior Article Marketing? Best Article Directory?" for a well put together League Table of Article Direcories, this should help you chose the best article directory for your purposes
ezinearticles.com, buzzle .com and goarticles.com are my favorites, I have seen significant improvements after having articles submitted to these sites.
I submit my articles to ezine, articlebase (no follow), amazines, articlerich and articleslash and get high traffic from them.
I submit my articles to every article directory that I can find. If you were running for president, would you just campaign in ONE city? Same with submitting to article directories. Submit to them all.
although ezine is higer Alexa wise.....Squidoo allows for dofollow text links in the body of the content which is much more valuable. Not to mention Squidoo lens's get PAge Rank way more easily then a Ezine Article!
