Search engines rely on authority, if you have a lowly blog, don't submit your article, keep it on your own turf.
If you really have something you want to share, that's great, submit and submit again.
If you are looking for long term Google SERPS forget it, this is short term at best.
If you stay within the boundaries of breaking news, you might get digged, otherwise, it's spam pure and simple and everyone knows it, including Googlegbot

IMHO...
keeping it on your own turf is not really a good idea, the SEs use date published not authority for dupe content, they have to otherwise they would be breaking a ton of laws including copyrights (crediting another site with an article).
This is more of a long term strategy than short term, it's something you do consistantly.. granted submitting a single article is short term, submitting one a month or per week is long term and there is a build up effect to it.
Not sure what you mean by getting dugg being spam?
Submitting articles leads to tons of business, and traffic to your site. the article / news sites that most of us submit our stuff to syndicate throughout newsletters and have a HUGE reader base. Sure we blog our articles or white paper them on our own sites, but then we submit them to the publishing sites. This is where most of the data on the net feeds from. Some of the site actually pay you to submit, but the main point of it all is that your articles get read, which builds up your credibility thus leading to a good bit more traffic to your website, and business.
The added traffic, the back links all benefit your SERPs in the end.. Face it, when people read your stuff, and say hey this person knows what they're talking about then they google YOUR name and your keywords WOW you (should) always show up in the top 10! lol
I wouldn't classify it as direct
SEO, but definitely residual
SEO development for sure! and honestly, the residual
SEO stuff ends up being far more in the end simply because there is soo much more you can do.
It's just part of a good marketing strategy the same strategy that's been followed by corporations for centuries...
You are definitely right though, Dann, about improving your blog or website and the links are sure to follow.
