if you read the boards for feedback on article marketing you most probably have already read comments like this:
Submitting to 500 Directories will get you banned from G, makes you blind, gets you cancer etc etc!

But what exactly happens if you really submit to 500+ directories?

Are you ready for the truth????

Here is the answer: NOT MUCH!
1. getting accounts for 500 directories is a pain in the...
2. even if you are lucky to master this task by the time you finished the first directories already went out of business or you account is not working anymore etc etc.
3. from my experience less than 20 sites will actually approve your articles in a reasonable amount of time e.g. weeks (and I am talking about quality articles here not written by myself LOL)

Any comments???
