Article marketing is a type of advertising in which bloggers write articles related to their blogging topic. These articles are made available for distribution and publication in the article directories. Each article contains a biography box and byline which include contact information and references for the author’s business. High quality, well-written, and unique content articles released for free distribution have the potential of increasing the bloggers’ credibility within its blogging topic as well as attracting new readers and RSS subscribers.

There are hundreds of article directories available. However many of them are not worth spending your time. I have listed the most useful ones based on the popularity and traffic driving capabilities. You should submit your articles to these directories when you have time to do:
