When you are submitting articles you may as well put them in the highest trafficked and highest PR Article Directories. After all it takes just as much work as when submitting to article directories that have little traffic. When other sites pick up your articles you get more links.
After a few weeks rub a paragraph from your article in copyscape and see who published them. If the site is a good site then contact them and offer them more original articles under the same terms that they have a link (or 2 or 3) of your choice in the article. It may benefit you to write some articles that are likely to have broad appeal than strictly focus on just your main niche keywords.
In fact you can even check articles by other authors in your niche in copyscape and see where they were published then contact those sites and see if they want original articles.
Putting articles in hundreds of directories is usually a waste of time. It is becoming more and more important to get higher quality links.

I checked Alexa Feb 2010. I thought it was interesting how all the sites are getting more traffic compared to the older list.
