Recommendation for article distribution service

I would like to ask for suggestion for a good article distribution service that works well for first and second tier sites, and perhaps even the money site. I dad used services like UAW (Unique Article Wizard) and Spindistribute.com but have found their quality to be wanting. Most of the "article directories" are either created by themselves (in the case of UAW) to increase the number of distribution (ie. self-serving), or just plain poor quality sites (on both).

It seems that beside the top level article directories (eg. ezinearticles.com, articlesbase.com), the rest are just pretty crappy, and thus worthless for link building purpose. At least my experience so far. I would like to hear from those of you who have used article distribution successfully to recommend any service that you have used/using to improve the effectiveness. Thanks

Just fire up GSA and use the article sites there. Article distribution is 5 year old SEO. Even the AMR guys - Vince IIRC stopped supporting their products and pissed of a lot of customers including me once the article submission game for money site was dead/penalized by Google with the first Panda update. Even EZA links are not much valuable for the last few years except for link diversity.

For links to tier 1 properties, just fire up GSA and use it to submit article instead of paying for a service. Most article directories were penalized/deindexed by Google ages ago and the chances of finding high quality articles directories from any bulk submission service is extremely minimal. You can find better sites by harvesting your own lists for GSA. At least, those would be indexed if you harvest those directories.

Actually, my main purpose of article distribution is not so much for link building but rather for link diversification. I do understand that most if not all links from article directories are pretty much worthless these days. I rank most sites through PBN, but want to disguise them with links from other sources such as article directories. Thanks!
