14,900 results from distributing one article.
I submitted one original article to several directories on the 8th July.. just nine days ago. The title of the article was not found anywhere online when I searched for it in quotes… it was unique.
Now, when you search for the article title in quotes there are 14,900 matches at Google (see the graphic, left). Wow. I don’t know how many of those pages are linking to my site (which they’re supposed to if they use the article on their pages) but even if it’s only a couple of hundred that should be enough to get my site some traffic and backlinks.
Use article submission to get attention for your sites. It’s like shining a spotlight on them. 
You can submit your articles manually at different article directories or use software to help you. I use, and recommend, article announcer which has been improved considerably since its initial release to make it a very, very useful tool.
