I agree with the two responses you've received already. If you have good content, you'll want to put it on landing pages on your site. then seek to find (some will find you) sites that will link to your good content/landing pages. This is a much better way of doing things then seeking sites to submit your content to. Duplicate content issues and Panda really make this type of process outdated. I a firm believer in keeping your good content on site.

If by 'high-quality sites' you mean sites which have no purpose other than to let you submit articles for links - Google's Panda update greatly reduced the effectiveness of links from these sites.
A simple rule of thumb is: does the site I'm looking at have any relevance to human beings? Will they derive real value from the content on this site? Sites that let anyone submit anything without any real editorial discretion aren't valuable to users, and so they're not valuable to Google.
There are many kinds of good quality sites. One good source are online magazines and blogs in your sector. If you want to be accepted by a high-quality site, you've got to have high-quality content to justify that. The extra work involved in trying to get a good piece of writing accepted to a respected blog or website is worth it, as many an SEO can testify.
Best of luck

Hi Yoavm
I know I am not answering your question directly, but here is what I think you should, especially considering current tends in the search industry. If it is quality content, that you have produced, rather put it on your own website and try finding communities online that might be intrested in the content and maybe link to it. It terms of helping your websites in the SERP, that will be much more beneficial
Reason: Unless your article in the article website is so good and attracts links there (and if that is the case, rather put it onto your own website), you will get basically no value from the link....
If still need references, best I can give you of the top of my head is:

Anyway to get old back links back?
My site ranked in the top 3 for my keyword for many years until someone hacked into my blog in December 2012, which is a subdomain. Google saw I had malicious malware on my domain and removed my site from being indexed (I think that is the word). Basically, I was no longer in the search engines. My domain and products have been featured on blogs and other places for many years (2 celebrity sites for gift guides), but not many are coming up (actual links with anchor text, not spammy links). I even have one on a friend's site and one in a directory. When I went to Google and put link:www.site.com , I got 1 link. I have seen a few, so I know they exist. Now, I am on page 3 and have not moved from this place since getting it back up in December 2012. For all of 2013, I thought I would have to wait it out, but now, I fear that waiting it out hurt me. Is there anyway to get Google to look further back and retrieve old links? Should I submit the high ranking ones? I am just wondering if I lost all my hard work in the past. Please advise.

Creating your own blog for back linking to your site
Our competitor seems to be linked to a blog that they have created themselves. From an SEO perspective is it worthwhile creating a blog that is related to your particular industry and then only including links back to your site. Also is there any way to upload ,articles etc automatically to the blog to cut down on the people hours involved in updating content?

Many competitor's backlinks are in content anchor links. Ho do I get these same links?
Hi I managed to open up OSE. I'm finding that much of the competition's backlinks are in content anchor text links. Am I supposed to get backlinks from these same pages using the same anchor text but linking back to my page or is that allowed? If so, how do I get these in content blog post links? Thanks. Sunil.

Linking to Adsense heavy sites?
Hi SEOmoz community! Hopefully a pretty straight forward question here... Does anyone know if linking to "Adsense heavy" websites can have a negative impact on your rankings? Or a positive impact even? Thes sites in particular are owned by a business aquintance, so they come from a trusted source even though the sites themselves look quite "spammy". Also they all have pagerank of 1 or 2 and there's about 100 of the sites that we would link to. Does anyone have any thoughts? Regards, Ash 🙂

Link building and directory links to a new site
I have three new sites all hosted on the same server in the same public html folder and each site is in a different folder inside the public html folder. These sites are a listing of live music venues in different cities in Texas. Should I link these sites together to increase page rank to each other and also put key search phrases in the anchor text and place these links in the text in the center of each page of each site to make the links more effective? Also, because the sites are about a year old they don't have many inlinks yet. If i submit them to about 50 directories will Google not like this because there are way more directory links than natural links? I've been told that it is trouble to have more than about 50% directory links compared to natural links. Thanks in advance for your answers! Take care,
