Some people swear by article marketing and others can't seem to get it to work for them. Personally, I think it's a combination of your niche, the content of your article, timing, and pure luck. If you write a lot of articles and make a name for yourself, then people might tend to pick up your articles simply because they "know" who you are.
So while articles CAN bring more traffic directly from the directories, I think the potential links are the real benefit. More links, more Google love. More links, more likely you will show up in the search engines more often and therefore have a better chance of someone following a link to your site and clicking on Adsense or buying from you.
While article marketing certainly has its place, it should not be your only link-building method ... regardless of how successful it might be for you. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and use several different methods for getting links.

and traffic if visitors that read your article find you have more to say...
My experience seems to suggest that you can get good traffic this way, but you need to be proactive in adapting it to best fit your situation. Like most things, it takes a little time to see the results.
