Articles are a great way to faithfully drive traffic to your website. It’s been in use for many years and quite frankly, if it didn’t work, no one would invest their time or energy in it.
I read a few comments left on How To Earn $10,000 USD or More From Article Marketing, an article by Christopher Knight, that raised some very valid points about articles being pushed down in the rankings after a few days. But that doesn’t void the logic of Mr. Knight’s article.
The true key to good article marketing is to remain constant and consistent. It’s true that as more content is added to these article directories, the article will sink lower in the listings, but if you constantly and consistently submit new articles, then you will continue to reap the benefits.
Articles aren’t necessarily difficult to write and they can vary in depth, length, and quality. The latter being one of the most important.
If you write quality articles (because, let’s face it, I’ve seen quite a bit of bunk floating around in those article directories), the chances increase that webmasters or ezine publishers will take notice and post it to their own site or email list.
A few article submission resources:
EzineArticles
GoArticles
Idea Marketers
If you want to spend your valuable time writing more quality articles than submitting to the article directories, I suggest using a program like Article Submitter Pro – this program will submit your article to over 200 article directories and help you leverage your time.

Popular Articles is another good place I submit to.
