well i have done a ton of article marketing over the past 2 years and learned a lot.
my take is that i use article marketing in two different ways
1. to get traffic
when i use article marketing to get traffic and sales i hand submit the articles to ezine, goarticles, thefreelibrary,hubpages and articlesdashboard
those are the ones that i have seen deliver the most traffic and the most sales. And rank the highest in the search engines
obviously you get the added benefit of the links but mainly i submit to these sites to make money directly from the article traffic
2. i do it just for the links to get my own sites ranked higher (or to get my articles ranked higher, by pointing the link to an ezine or hubpage article i want to rank higher)
in this case i don't care if the article gets submitted to a bunch of junk sites because i am going for quantity over quality. to accomplish this i use articlemarketer once you get used to their little rules and quirks you can submit your article to a couple hundred directories very quickly and get a ton of easy backlinks
hope that helps
