There are so many article directories available that you could spend a lifetime trying to post to all of them. However, that would be a monumental waste of time and effort as not all article directories are created equal. What you really want to do is target your articles to the directories that are going to have the most authority.
In general, this means posting to article directories that have a high PR and have dofollow links. That last point is very important. There’s not much point in posting your article to a directory that has nofollow links as that will have minimal/no effect on your search engine rankings.
I’ve put together the following list of what I consider to be the best directories to post to. If you’ve discovered any others that are valuable, please let me know.
Also, if you are serious about writing articles, you should read my The Best Spinner Review.

Thanks for this interesting info. That’s a good article about The Best Article Directories to Use | Ultimate Marketing Strategies.
Thanks for that great list of article directories..I was looking for an updated list of directories like these
Thats exactly what I was looking for. I would have took me lots of time searching for the PR of these sites. I have a question though….Are all those article sites do follow?
As far as I’m aware, all the directories in the list are dofollow.

Thanks for an excellent list. Question, are you revising your articles to make them unique for each directory? I know Buzzle requires it, but most will take duplicates of what I submit on ezinearticles. It seems that if backlinks are my highest priority, and time is an issue, I’m just better off sending the same article to any directory that will take it.
If you are using The Best Spinner carefully, ie: spending about 15-20 mins per article to ensure you have a quality, readable spun articles, then you can easily generate a hundred unique articles to submit to the other directories.
Yes, there are a squillion article directories out there, that’s for sure! When I first started out I wasted a bit of time and energy posting to ones that weren’t any good. Won’t do that again.
I have used a few on the list above. My favorites are Ezine Articles, Go Articles and Article Dashboard.
That’s a great list. Here is another Australian Article Directory
this is really great list,but ezine article is the most difficult directories for me to post a content,i always had a problem with it.
