Writing articles and then getting them placed all around the web has been an SEO tactic for many years now. There has however been some talk that it's days are numbered, the word on the street being that Google has decided to treat the links in articles (when found in a an article directory) in much the same way as it treats those from FFA (Free For All) sites, ie it does not give them much credit.
I am not sure if this is true, but it is worth bearing in mind and means that you should think of trying a different tactic when posting articles.
Here are the things to bear in mind
1. Make the best of your articles and use a service like www.submityourarticle.com.
2. Post different variations of the article around the web (the site above offers an 'article leverage' service here.)
3. Find sites, other than the directories, that host articles and see if you can gt them to post your articles (they'll have to be good though.)
4. Don't forget the two greatest 'article' sites Wikipedia and Google Knol. It is well worth posting on these too.
So Article Writing & Posting is still worthwhile and taking the above into account will give your articles a fighting chance of helping your SEO efforts.
