As a potential 'article submitter', I am concerned about any potential benefit to my site from an article that only links back to the ezine directory. The ezine directory of course, contains the complete article as does my site, which then links back to my site? Short of a few people actually reading the article and then hopefully, clicking a link on the ezine to my site, I see very little benefit for my site - Am I missing something, what or where is the benefit to my site? I suppose having a catchy closing statement to encourage a click to my site would be a good answer.

This method only creates more backlinks to the ezine directory rather than my site; the reason of course, for submitting an article is increase traffic to my site and not the ezine. Maybe I should look for an article ezine site that would allow for links to my site within the article but then, whoever uses the article could change it if they so desired...

As in a previous post on this subject, I am not interested in my content advancing the benefits of these article directories.
Can anyone suggest an article directory ( out of the many available ) that allows for direct links to my site within the posted content?

Article Dashboard Directory | Submit Articles | Search Find Free Content | Author Submission for example, only allows for a link outside of the article thereby forcing interested parties to go to that directory first. Once they have read the article, who knows if they will visit my site or not... this method does not promote my site very well and I am against it for that reason.
