I Think
Ezinearticle,Article base,Go article...

You could just guesstimate that. It surely needs to be a reputable directory with a decent PR.

Just use article submission alongside your other SEO and link building campaigns. The value from the links are so small i wouldnt worry about it too much!

I've had great success from EZArticles Myself. However a friend didn't. I think it has to do with the article writer!

yah, ezinearticle is really a good artcle directory but their are lots of article directories that google see, I think we should rather go on how good your article is and how you promote it.

I beleive Google does like ezinearticles as well.

Ezinearticle, SearchWarp, Amazines are just some of good article directories. But I think it doesn't really matter where you submit your article, for as long as it's unique and seo-friendly.

I think ezinearticles.com,e-articles.info, articlesender.com are good article directory and goolgle like these dir.
