For me article marketing still works. I've been using this from time to time and its a good source for ranking result if you have the right title and keyword density. So I guess article marketing still works just in different ways.
Maybe article submission doesn`t work too well....but if it`s used on a social media site in which you are active, it could bring you good traffic
I would suggest doing guest posting of content, and then letting your readers know about it. That way there is a link exchange. It's worked for me in the past, but I suppose it depends on the niche.
yes i agree, i don't think any of the article submission work I have done actually holds any value, i'd also be very wary of seo companies who offer this as a part of your seo campaign, you should go for quality links on relevant pages at all times.
Articles are ideal if you write informative information and include relevent text links in the bio section. It's best to target less competitive topics. Sometimes articles end up at top of rankings for a while which can bring traffic in addition to backlinks.
Articles are still very important, although there are so many duplicate articles out there. UNIQUE content is always king.
Article submission is not the best method for SEO. I wouldn’t submit any of my articles to loads of article directories, where they can be used again. However, in the past I’ve created video tutorials for Photoshop and linked my tutorials to massive traffic websites, such as Good-tutorials, where I’ve had over a thousand visits per day, this does help with my traffic. If you are going to create excellent content link it in where you are going to get loads of traffic and loads of backlinks.

Well I do think that article submission is a good help for SEO. Sure it?s not enough to ensure good results but part of a good links mix. It sometimes helped to come on the first page of the results. So, I wouldn't exclude this minor chance
Nice argument. But the way I see it, article directories are good sources of back links. Better have some that none. Ezine is the best example I can think of...
This thread is providing good information and also great discussion among SEO professionals. i dont think article submission is bad because it depends on how you do it. a good SEO will definitely get success, sooner or later by doing article submissions.
