Is submitting articles to Ezine and other article website helpful to an SEO campaign?

I have been searching around to figure out if submitting articles to ezine, article base, etc. would produce quality incoming links for my website.  Would ezine and article base provide quality incoming links?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Personally I still use article submission for link building. Although it is now mixed with other link building techniques such as guest posting (which I suppose could technically be called article submission), I find that it works well.

That said, I think the days of sending an article out to hundreds of websites for hundreds of links are over. You need to choose the article sites more carefully these days and it will provide benefit.

I use Ezine and article base as well as Knol, Article dashboard. Isnare is also good if you want the article to appear on lots of sites, but be aware these may not be the best quality sites. nor in the same niche as yours.

Also have a gander at these:

If I remember correctly they should give you a good idea about articles etc.

What seem to be some of the best article submission websites?  You've listed ezine, article base, article dashboard, etc.  but how many websites do you usually submit a single article too?  I'm trying to do some research on article submission for SEO.
