As I’ve mentioned before, search engines are getting smarter everyday—so the schemes webmasters use to improve their PageRank can change at anytime. Google is going into the direction of relevancy and their goal is to give the person searching for a specific keyword exactly what they’re looking for. This is why having a high quality website that searchers want to visit is so important.
One technique that has recently become popular is writing high quality articles and submitting them to article directories. Unlike link exchanges and other directories, article directories allow you to post a high quality article with a back link to your website attached. The PageRank of article directories is usually higher and will allow you to easily rank highly in the search engines in a shorter period of time.
You need to monetize your articles. If you can embed affiliate links within your copy, you can generate easy money just by incorporating other products. At the very bottom of the article, you should include your name and website via an HTML anchor tag. Adding the following to the bottom of your article is sufficient enough for a back link:

I recommend using Article Submitter Gold to submit your articles to article directories. Although this application requires manual submission, it speeds up the submission process by automatically creating accounts and it also pre-fills the submission forms on your behalf for over 660 high quality directories.
HTML Tables vs. CSS Layouts
By Andrew J. McClary
I’ve decided to make HTML vs. CSS my first article because I believe that CSS is growing at such a rapid pace that any web designer who is not familiar with designing CSS layouts (rather than HTML tables) will eventually render their skills obsolete. Take this website for example, AmazingDesignSecrets.com, we are devoted to teaching those who want to learn html, graphic design, and web design. If you take a look at any of the code throughout the entire website, you’ll notice that no tables exist on any page—yet you still see centered page with unique alignments and structured shapes and colors…….[rest of article]

One thing that I would like to mention to watch out for is to be very careful when submitting these to the article directories. I say this because, in my experience, many webmasters are lazy and neglect o put their About the Author section to their site which results in a missing back link. Be careful and don’t work to fast—take your time.
Another thing to look out for is to remember to NOT post the same content in the article directories as you do within your own website. The information that you put on your website (via a blog, news section, article section, etc.) should be completely unique content to the search engines. It is okay to have duplicate article spanned over hundreds of websites, but it is not okay to include those same articles on your own—this will decrease your quality score.
