When submitting to articles directories, be careful about the duplicate content issue. You don't want your original page to end up in the supplemental index (assuming that you also post the article on your own website).

Here's what you can do:
- post the article first on your website and wait for the spiders to crawl it first before posting it again on the articles website
- do include a back-link to the site's article page in the article posted (it's a good way of telling the SEs "hey, look for the original over there")
