What are article directories?

Another way to post some information to your blog is by posting article directories. Article directories according to wikipedia.org is a form of Search Engine Optimization where companies and professional writers submit articles based on a specific niche. Article directories are also called Ezines or Online Magazines for their depository methods hosting hundreds or thousands of documents related to a given subject.

ezinearticles.com is I think is the world's most poplular article directories site. According to what I've learned from attending internet marketing workshop, article directories are for those who want to easily post to their respective blogs according to your niche or to what is your blog is all about.

You can copy any article from any sites legally as long as you copy a part of the article or at least you leave a comment after you copied the article. But in article directories, you need to copy the whole article word-by-word and you don't need to leave a comment. Just copy the whole article and that's it.

Why is that? The thing with this article directories is everytime you copied an article in article directories, you give the author a favor of making a link from your site or blog to his/her. So there is no issue of plagiarism because the reason why authors are sending articles to article directories is for that particular one---for someone to make a link of his/her articles.
