I tested hundreds of article directories back in the day when I fell for the hype of the effectiveness of article submitters. My belief back then was if I had more links pointing back to my web site, the better my site would rank. I was expecting an avalanche of traffic to come to my web sites but I was disappointed when the traffic was so pathetic.
Instead of submitting to hundreds of article directories, I only submit to about 9 article directories for my article marketing (bum marketing) campaigns. This saves me a lot of time, money and prevents my articles from competing against one another for rankings in the search engines.
My Top Article Directories by Alexa Rank
I ranked my list of article directories by Alexa traffic stats and this is the order of the article directories. I know there are article directories with better Alexa rankings than some of the ones listed above but these are my “approved list” of article directories.
I grouped my articles directories into a list of article directories worth submitting to and another list I consider worthless in terms of getting traffic.

I hate to write articles and autoresponders for my web sites. But I like to write in my blog once in a while. Kevin Brown has a free report on How to Outsource Your Article Writing on freelance web sites like Elance.com, ScriptLance.com and RentACoder.com.I’ve been looking for a guide like this for a long time. Kevin has sample letters and a certain list of things he expects from his writers. I would be so lost without this report. Kevin’s also the author of EZ Article Publisher. I haven’t used the software yet so I can’t review it. I bet it would be useful if you’re into article writing for your content sites.I think I need to hire someone to help me fix some layout issues on this blog. I always see this huge white space at the 1st post in my Firefox browser for some reason.

I’ve been using a bunch of software to grab articles from free article directories. So far I have used Article Automator, Article Equalizer and now Article Fetcher.
Article Automator
My favourite of them all is Article Automator even though I had some issues with generating the index page of the articles. I hope the author has fixed those issues I had when I used that software some time ago. I like its ability to create RSS feeds from your list of articles and its search by keyword function that saves me a lot of time.
Article Equalizer
I don’t like Article Equalizer because I feel the logic of searching for articles is wrong with that software. You have to select the article category and the look through a long list of articles in that directory and select the ones you want. There is a search tool for you search for keywords in the articles but that is only AFTER you select your category. This is a big problem if you are trying to look for articles across multiple categories. Futhermore, the time it takes to retrieve the articles in each category is very slow even on my broadband connection. I …
