you can submit a single article on 10 different sites a day, that will be ebough and will get good results in terms of traffic as well as serp

Article submissions always work in SEO but we must use high quality article sites for promotion.

Article writing and submission can be useful as a way of generating some quick links for the newly launched websites but gradually as your domain gets older, links gathered from other sources like directories, blogs and other sites, you may think about writing in a quality way, so that other webmasters bookmark your site's address and giving links to your contents pages which would generate superior results.

Links that you CANNOT place yourself, links that other people give purely because of your content.

Article submission is one of the best ways to get traffic to your blog or website. Writing good quality articles, you can copy your article. Most of the website, provided that the copier and maintain links with all copyright information in the article.

I do not expect that, in particular the process of giving my work, but rather links to my website, which is a byproduct of having people following my articles, or links to a website with Relevant anchor text from a page also contain relevant keywords, not something which in the eyes of Google to make your site more remarkable?

Article submission is valuable only when you are submitting unique articles on each article directories.

Being SEO I would like to suggest you to :-
submit your article in various free article submission directory & start bookmarking for those links.

Google will soon index your article I am sure.
Here is one resource I would like to share with everyone for article submission

Well as far as my experience is concerned Article submission is good for traffic if the article has great content.

High quality article will give us massive traffic and backlinks. article marketing is good for link building. this will help your site to spot 1st page google result. You can also write blog posts and submit them in different free blogging platforms.

yes its a good way to link building and get some quality links too.

Articles are free and can create much needed backlinks from others who appreciate your content and link to it! Of course you must make it unique and informative - not just trying to get free links! I post many reports and such on forums in my niche, and it helps a lot, I have submitted to social bookmarking sites as well, though am going to start article marketting soon as we have a very small niche and not many in it are doing this, I'm sure it will knock 'em dead as we are already sitting pretty high for most keywords we want, but need that extra boost to get to the very top!

i never tried to post an article within a forum & i think it is not possible to post an article within the forums. If it's happening then it's an extra advantage to globalize our business online.

You have write a article and also have submit but it must be approved and also been relavant to the forum. Also If you have submitted them to the o pr sites then you have to work more for getting the spot in google.

if the article is well written and the contents are unique, it really works.
