There are several benefits to submitting articles.
Submit to and get accepted by a respected article directory and you will find that your site gets indexed very quickly by the major search engines. Remember that in the resource section place links to your websites or blogs and that links coming from the right sources are highly respected.
The article itself often gets a higher placing on the search engines results page than the resource you are linking to, so consequently gets traffic quicker and generates what is called referral traffic to the resource that is linked from the article.
Articles that are well written and researched get picked up and published by the Internet community, this is a sort of viral effect, the more times the article is taken and published then the more links there are to the resource site from multiple domains.
