Are there any reputable & affordable blog/article submission services nowadays?

Since the calamity of Penguin I know several article submission websites got a really bad wrap (many deservedly so).  However if done carefully and legitimately I believe article promotion can still be a bona fide SEO link building tool.

I currently have a client that has hundreds of good blog posts.  We have done some modest article promotions via local news websites.  However I feel like this content could use more of a push.

Does anybody know of any reputable article/blog post promotion websites?

I have worked quite a few website that were under the attack of penguin and while working on the disavow tool, I tell you working with article submission websites is not at all a good idea. I mean if you have a good blog, you can always hire an outreach person to get more eyeballs and links for your content but republishing on article submission website is not something I personally would recommend.

Instead, I would recommend reaching out to the right kind of audience and get some links back to the content, you can reuse the content as in if you have text content at the moment you can create infographic out of it and use it on several different website with a link back to your original content, you can try guest posting, broken link building and the other countless ideas but article submission is not one of them.

Just a thought!

If this is good content why not host on your site and use the money from syndication to promote it via Facebook ads or another medium targeting valuable customers?

I'd stay clear of all article directories.

We are already doing FB syndication and publishing on our blog.  I'm just trying to find more avenues to promote this content (safely).  My client has 5 blog posts a week.
