I would like to know the best places to submit articles. Free would always be best; but I not against paying if required. We launched a site within the "Home and Garden" industry and have tonnes of into to share.

Hey Mat
Interesting response you've written.
It appears that Post Panda, Google has cracked down on article submissions i.e. not giving much value at all?
So would you agree, that one is better off writing an article and posting it in their own blog, and in their own social media pages?
Cheers
George

Matt is right on this.
Some years you may have tried to look for satellite websites or more. Now it's definitely not recommended.
In our case we reviewed all our competitors backlinks to see if there is any good website to do guest blogging with.
But the main guideline is now is: write content, make it good and useful, promote it on social media.
It is the best methods (at least the 7/30/13)

Hi SpadaMan,
Submitting articles usually means finding sites that only existing to host other people's articles, giving them a link in exchange for the article content. That approach has always been flawed and Google has been cracking down on it as deliberate manipulation of the results. Definitely steer clear.
If your articles are original and useful then your best bet is likely to be to use them on your own website. Start adding them on a regular basis, and push them out through social media at the same time. You could contact sites in your niche and see if they would take a and credit you as the author (with a link) as well.
If they aren't original and interesting/useful then your options are going to be limited. However I'd rather opt for "do nothing" than submitting them to article directories.

How to articles for FAQ, but wait it's shoes or clothing
Hello, I was given the great advice of sticking with 5 long, stellar, graphically well developed articles in the article section of an ecommerce site. And to put lots of how-tos articles (links to them) in the FAQ. But what articles do you put in the FAQ if you're selling things like shoes or clothing? Thanks.

Does anyone know of a great inexpensive article writing company overseas?
Hello, I'm hoping someone here has used or knows about a content writing company overseas that is very good. We would provide a lot of the information, and they would gather the rest by internet or talking with manufacturers by skype. We need at least 200 articles written, and we're on a tight budget. The articles need to be unique content, and very helpful to users. The people or person I hire will provide the articles in Microsoft Word, I'll do the rest. So far I've posted on Elance. Any useful people, companies, or helpful hints in doing this is appreciated! Thank you.

How to use articles effectively in a blog.
I wanted to start a blog so I could get some longer tail search term results. I am a knowledge expert in my area but am very busy as an entrepreneur so I had been putting it off for some time. It occurred to me that I might be able to outsource the article writing and I have started doing that. I have either come up with or have approved the topics. I am a very critical editor and demand high quality writing. The articles are all original. We are proofreading everything to make sure the articles are of high quality and inform readers about the subject. I plan to only put external links in the articles that link out to the sources for the information that was used to write the articles. We are also using pictures info graphics and video where possible. I plan to close the comments because, while we have had a website for some time and get some visitors (2500 per month) we are new to blogging and do not have a following that would post comments. My questions is this.......will these be viewed negatively by Google? I think this will be good content but I don't want to do anything to negatively affect us.
