Good article distribution services?
-
Our site has a lot of content we are able to modify/distribute without too much time so I am planning to syndicate some of this using article distribution.
Apart from Ezine articles, are there any other article distribution services I should/could consider using?
I do know that I should also be focussing most of my resource on building high-quality links through guest blogs etc! However this seems like a relatively quick win.
Thanks in advance

Article sites don't have much value these days, I would suggest maybe repositioning the content for guest post spots.
You can always use http://myblogguest.com/ for guest blogging opportunities. -
I noticed that the list in the link is dated 2007 - but post Penguin how many of these article sites are suitable?
Here is an article published on SEW today '10 Old SEO Methods You Shoud Stop' which references SEO article marketing http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2197044/10-Old-SEO-Methods-You-Need-to-Stop

There is an amazing list here: http://www.seoresearcher.com/articles-directories-list-alexa-rating-ordered.htm
Also check out: http://www.seomoz.org/directories
That said, these article sites will only go so far towards helping your link building efforts. I wouldn't submit more than a couple of articles to each (all unique, too), as it will pass some Authority and increase your unique number of linking root domains.
Once you've exhausted that list to a good degree, try guest posting on other blogs if you have spare content!

Customer testimonials and customer profile article guidelines?
I want to help people who give testimonials by writing an article about their business including a good quality link. This will be on the site that received the testimonial, possibly linked from an our customers page. I want to make each customer profile testimonial into a separate page. I don’t want to compete with the customer who gives the testimonial for their keyword phrase but I do want to boost their page rank if possible. What would be the best formula for title tag, headline and linking keywords etc?

Ecommerce - Discussion of Article Topics
Hello, My client is in a boring niche, not a lot of people linking anywhere. He needs good traffic within 3 and a half months. After listening to people here at seomoz, we're making five 5000-10000 word articles on topics that are useful to the customer we can promote The client is writing the information out himself and then a professional writer is going to put the final article together. We'll keep working it until it's a best-of-the-web The most useful article we have come up with is all the details about "How to select a product" There's definitely enough information for an article there. But we need to be able to promote one of the articles, and the thing that is most linked to that I've found are articles about the problems that the products solve. An article on that wouldn't be as useful to our customers. Your thoughts?

How many good links does it take to improve the rank
Just wondering how many good links (PR 3-5) it generally takes to improve the site in a competitive space. That is assuming the links will be procured (earned) from the sites in the same domain.

Article Submission Old Hat or Still Good hat?
I have always used article submission sites such as ezine, article snatch etc... I have always seen the big ones as a good way of getting relevant content out into the internet network with the bonus of building quality links back. However I have now been reading a lot of conflicting information, since the latest update from Google that even an article being republished multiple times around the net will wipe out the positive impact of the article and bring no SEO benefit. I wanted to get feedback from the SEOmoz community to see if you now feel this is a pointless exercise and we should now be even more careful as to where our content is published.

Matt Cutts on Article Marketing
I've been waiting for Matt Cutts to talk about this for a long time... finally a YouTube video! "Should you syndicate your articles out to sites such as ezinearticles.com as a way to build links?" He discussed this from an SEO perspective and does not recommend it. I thought that he was way too polite about it... but if you are a guy like him it isn't good to talk trash about the specifics. One topic that he didn't address was how article marketing can impact your competitive position. It feeds existing competitors and creates new competitors. You write twenty articles and they are each published by twenty sites, now there are 400 pages with your keywords out there competing against you. Not smart, IMO. Here's the link to the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5xP-pTmlpY&NR=1
