Seems there's a big shakedown among the article directories right now in the wake of the FTC news. And we're all in the middle of it.

So, this is just to update my plan:

Squidoo - get a lens out ASAP but not one that focuses exclusively on WA and do not put a direct affliate link in there

Ezine - consensus is that EZA is great for Google ranking. Articles need careful prep to gain approval and links must support overall article 'promise'

Articlesbase - although some people here have had success with AB, I learned today that links are NOFOLLOW so will not help ranking.
