yes, other than building links and getting traffic to your site, it would also build brand popularity of your site, your business as well.
The thing is if you article has quality then it may be punished in newspaper, magazine as well.....

Not to be too picky but I assume that you mean published and not punished?
That is good information however. I never knew a paper of any kind would pick out articles and publish them.
Cheers and thanks for the info.
But the ironly is that, very few people put good content unique articles in articles directory. they use it on their own site if the article is new & unique.
I think you'd be pretty lucky to get an article picked up by a good quality publication. More chance as a result of a press release.
It is not easy that your article picked by a top class article publication site based on an editor approval. However i am not in favor of Article Submission after Google Panda changes.
Article submission in a better article directory site will increase tremendous traffic .I would suggest to use this software for submission products.softsolutionslimited.com/news_publisher/index.htm
I'd have to agree with idreesfarooq.
Creating a bunch of free blogs (wordpress.com, blogger.com, etc) with another version of your article or a completely new article with a backlink to your website or original article would have more effect these days. Blogger is Googles blog community, so that's definitely indexed in no-time.

Well I do not know about others but article marketing is working great for me even after panda...
It is true that Panda is hitting Article directories hard but they are not hitting us who getting link from Article directories.
We are still getting good results from article marketing, but because of Panda update several directory owners have lost traffic and they decided to close their article directory...
Who reads the articles on those article directories ? You ?
How would you build a brand on an article website ?
I've mentioned it in another thread also...
The only people who visit article directories these days are IM'ers who need content to spin.
No one who's looking for womething specific will read your articles there.
Build your brand on your own blog...that works a lot better.

But sometimes, when i search for certain keyword, (i don't remember what keyword), the result of search engine pages also list ezine pages as top 10 results.. so whoever wrote the article on ezine still can have a chance to be index on SERP with certain good keyword
I agree, but my last comment was about the "branding" aspect.
Definitely you'll still bump on article directories when searching for something.
But...I bet there's only a few articles you'll see on the SERPs 1st page for that keyword, meaning that writer did a good SEO job.
Andre
for 'branding' aspect as you said, i admit that use your own blog can give more benefits than depend on top article directory, maybe the writer also push a backlink to ezine page so as to be appeared at serp
Articles at different blogs now provide about 30% of traffic to our site, and usually it is the traffic of an excellent quality.
Where did you get that statistic ?
I can assure you that you hardly get any traffic from article directories. It helps your ranking in the search engines and that's where you'll then get your traffic from.
People visiting article directories try to to find information...not author boxes where your link is.
As there are thousands of articles on any topic available it's most unlikely they'll click your author box link...
Look at your own behaviour on internet if you want to find some information...

Yes, when you post articles with good content, you become an expert in your field of specialization. The more you post them, the more your followers pick more interest in your website and keep visiting to read more useful articles. This is how you it can build your brand popularity. I have noticed that there are article marketers, who post articles and in no time they have already been read by over a hundred people. This is because they have built their popularity, believability and credibility through the kind of content they provide to their readers.
When you do article submission, of course,you put your website and links on it.
when a reader follows your website, there is a chance that they might like it and share the articles with other people in the same connection too.
