I don't think article marketing will work in the future as it has in the past.

I agree with that 100%. Plus, the article sites have lost prestige with Panda, it seems.

About three years ago I tried marketing one of my webpages (not websites) using several of the article directories. It worked. I got some link juice and the pages moved up the SERPS (and are still there even after Panda).

A year ago January I started looking into e-How and a few other sites that pay you directly. At that time I wasn't looking for link-juice, but just to see if it was possible to make any money with their programs.
