It depends.
On whether the articles are intriguing enough to get picked up by real publications and/or attract the attention of real journalists who write a story about you, or whether they do nothing but languish in the huge archives of the article subsmission sites.

Who are you submitting to? Perhaps you could find some sites whose content is complementary to yours. Email the owner and ask him to publish your articles. In exchange, you can consider publishing his articles.
Win-win for you.
Win-win for you.

Hi Frank
I contribute articles now and then to the article directories. The advice I would give is once you have a worthy article, work on an appropriate signature (thats required as standard from the directories I use) and then monitor it regularly to make sure that your article is being used with your signature still attached to it.
Also read through the article directorys' guidelines before submitting your article: They are all different. I recall with my last article, I had to modify it a good few times before they would even consider it.
I hope this helps.

I agree with all the above... but would like to add my 
here...
If your article happens to end up in the supplemental index or not, as long as it drives some relevant traffic to your site (assuming you've submitted it to targeted categories and websites) that's a plus side in itself, and a good thing to achieve! IMO!

Neither is better or worse in a general sense jamaine12.
It all depends upon what specific sites those links are coming from and many other little factors. However one of those factors is not whether the linking site is an article directory or a blog.

I like Alex Choo's advice, it takes a bit of creativity to find these sites. Search for "keyword + submit press release" or "news release" or "story" and you can find some gems and submit directly. OR Google your competitors' press releases, copy unique phrase from the title or body of the release and follow these sites (minus the pr services) and then contact their webmasters /editorial depts. Another thing is you can go to Technorati and search for your competitors name + keywords from their press release - to find bloggers who've covered the news.
Example - your competitor just donated $2,000 to a specific charity. Google/Yahoo or MSN "Competitor name + Charity Name" and check it out. Remember that bloggers are publishers too and you can get more mileage out of bloggers as they're more likely to create unique content about your news rather than just reposting a boring PR release.
