Articles submission is one of the best ways to get inbound links and thereby increasing the search engine visibility and traffic to your site. There are a lot of free article directories which helps you to submit your article and also allows you to link back to your website, which helps in getting backlinks. But in order to get quality backlinks through article submission, you need to submit in the right article directories which have good reputation and good page rank. Submitting articles in low quality article directories may not do good to your site. Here I would like to list the top 10 free article submission directories that I rate ahead of others, based on certain parameters even though not in the order of its importance.
1) EzineArticles.com
This site tops my list of free article directories with a Google page rank of 6 and Alexa ranking of 186, which is a good indication of the amount of traffic it receives. Need to get registered with the site, before you start with your article submission.
2) GoArticles.com
Another really good article directory which has a Google page rank of 6 and Alexa ranking of 2807. This also needs a free registration process before starting to submit articles.
3) ArticleDashboard.com
Another important article directory with a vide range of categories, ArticlesDashboard has been there for a few years and is really climbing its way up. It has a Google Page Rank of 5 and Alexa rank of 5127, and requires free registration.
4 ) SearchWarp.com
SearchWarp is another directory where I would prefer to submit articles and is well known for its quick approval of the submissions. SearchWarp enjoys a Google page rank of 5 and Alexa ranking of 5521. Registration is required and is free to register. Also have a good and user friendly dashboard to view, edit/delete your submitted articles.

9) Amazines.com
Another popular free article submission directory, which has a Google Page Rank of 5 and Alexa ranking of 6292. Needs to register in order to submit articles and has the facility to rate articles.
10) ArticlesFactory.com
This is another article submission directory that I love to submit my articles to. It has a slight lower Google Page Rank of 4 and Alexa ranking of 23,777. But this is an upcoming directory and would soon top the charts in the time to come. This also needs to register for article submission and offers a good user dashboard.
There are more other free directories available, but here I am wrapping it out with only 10. Hope it would be useful to everyone.

Thanks for your valuable suggesions, Faiz….
This topic has some useful information to me ! Thanks so much for providing some great information.
great information, thanks for sharing these sites with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that although you can post on any directory, but it is recommended to build or promote your website by using top article submission directories. Searching for the Top Article directories can be a cumbersome task. So to simplify this process, you need to have a one stop solution where you can review a whole lot of directories based on different parameters such as approval times, article views, traffic response, page ranking and then choose the best directories to post.
