Article directories are a great tool for not only getting your site ranked faster on new keywords, but to get out your marketing message as well. While you can write tons of articles about generic related content to your site, you can also write articles that are a review of your services, or are a promotional piece that links to your site. Article directories usually do not discriminate against such content unless the quality is poor or it appears overly spammy.
Some article directories such as Ezine have human editors that read and approve every article. An article directory like this does not allow links in the content other than would be required to understand what you are writing about. These types of article directories do allow you to have a signature area where you can place a follow link back to your website. For this type of article directory, you want your content to appear professional and unbiased, and most of all avoid sounding like a sales pitch.
Remember, any articles you submit with a link to your site will usually be associated with your brand (or remembered as such). So you always want to submit quality articles and not a lot of junk that does not read or make sense even if an article directory allows you to do so without anyone rejecting your article. If you want to have others help you create articles, make sure you filter them to keep quality high so your articles get redistributed more. Also try not to submit the same article dozens of times to different article directories. A few times is ok, but too many copies of the same text can get you penalized by the search engines.
