The downside, though, is that most of the article banks don't get that much traffic (EzineArticles and AssociatedContent are notable exceptions) on their own, and also, most of the legitimate reuses of your article are to small-circulation ezines and low traffic websites. Don't get me wrong -- hey, it's free, so by all means do it. But if the same article is everywhere, it can actually get punished by search engines. I tried the far-and-wide approach for a while and wasn't impressed with the results. Since then I've focused more on having articles in a smaller number of places, but higher-traffic, better-reputation sites. Also, there are a lot of social networking / social media sites that provide a venue for article publishing, e.g., Helium.com, Gather.com, Ecademy.com, et al. Among my many online ventures, I'm the Sales & Marketing channel editor at Work.com, which is a great publishing venue -- active commenters, articles are rated and the best-rated articles appear at the top, good search engine rankings, 100% business audience, etc. If anyone has business-related articles, I'd like to invite you to add Work.com to your list of places you submit them.
