I've used Unique Article Wizard and SubmitYourArticle.com.

Neither of them did anything for me. As I'm learning how backlinks work, I'm beginning to understand that the quality of your links matter more than the quantity of your links.

I once typed into the Google browser a keyword I was planning to optimize an article for. Of the results that appeared on the first page for that keyword, I decided to look up the backlinks for the URLs in position one and position two. It turned out that the site in position 2 had 627 backlinks while the site in position 1 had only 21.

I'm thinking, "How did that happen?"

Apparently, it's not about the number of backlinks, but the relevancy of your backlinks and the quality of those backlinks. Google has over 200 criteria that factor into page rank. Backlinks is a big criterion.

In other words, it's better to write an article on Ezine Articles which Google already considers an authority site, already gets high traffic, and just so happens to have over 700,000 backlinks. Articles written from Ezine Articles tend to appear in the first four positons of the first page of Google for a particular keyword. Usually, not always. Your article is simply another "page" on this huge website that Google considers an authority site and allows it to rank well.

Optimize your article for your chosen keyword, and then put the link to your website in your resource box. So what you're effectively doing is funneling search engine traffic from a high-traffic site to your low-traffic website.
