To answer BlackRaven's question:
Q. "what about dup penalty? "
- If you have original content that is not already on your site, submit it to other web sites for publication within your industry. Be very selective in chosing article sites, making sure that they do not syndicate and/or allow others to use your article on the web.

Q. "Also many article site do not pass PR?"
A. Yes and no. If you look within your industry and find like minded web sites, send them an article. Submitting your article does not have to be an article submission site! In addition, see #4 in my top 10.

Keep in mind, there are two schools of though about getting inbound links. One, post all original content on your site, and wait/hope for others to link to your articles. The other way (which I prefer) is to submit controversial, very readable and highly optimized articles to those within my same industry that have good rankings. Once they publish the article, it gets indexed, and I receive a quality inbound link.
