Article sites - lots of them!

Having written my first article, I've been checking out and publishing to five or six article sites - pretty time consuming. I hadn't realised just what was out there, rafts of sites that vary from pretty shody with pop-ups/unders all over the place to high quality and user friendly.

I've also spotted that you can purchase tools (not cheap) to perform multiple submissions to different site automatically but how effective these are I'm not sure. Also reading a few forum posts that suggest article publishing to gain back-links isn't as effective as it used to be as G has caught up with it in its latest algos. Not sure how true this is either. Apparently to be on the safe side, use only quality sites where the article is actually vetted before publishing. Another minefield :)

Found this page of article sites by PR - not checked the accuracy but its a start.

Also a good list in the forums over at Brighton Vibes

Now the wait to see if they actually publish my stuff :)
