Hi friends,
Link building is a key factor to maximize your sites visibility within search engines. Google loves your links in other sites, it is important to submit your site to directories to get link backs.
Also another great proven way is to submit your links in articles.
What you want to say about it?
I am quite dismissive of article marketing. With Matt Cutts clearly discouraging this form of link-building (post the Panda update)..."I am not a huge fan of article marketing"..why waste time on an outdated strategy.
Here's the Matt Cutts video explaining why you shouldn't go for articles

Why don't you go for other facets of article marketing namely Blogging, guest blogging, social bookmarking,forum posting etc..I personally prefer doing guest blogging and forum posting. With keyword country as my partner, I am able to find niche related blogs and forums.
After Google panda updation, its important if you are submitting article and getting backlink. Article marketing is consider as a great source for traffic and backlink. Google always give priority to contextual link and articles always generate contextual link.
Writing and post article marketing is undoubtedly one of the most important and most efficient tools to advertise your changeable on the internet presence today. Posting articles to post distribution sites can improve the ranking and awareness of internet sites and this is essential to remaining on the internet.
