Short answer for : Google confirmed a Panda refresh that began rolling on July 18, 2013 — that rollout was described as more "finely targeted" and in some cases allowed previously-hit sites to recover. (searchengineland.com)

What that meant for article-submission sites: Panda’s signal focuses on site-level quality and on pages with thin, duplicate, or low-value content. Mass-syndicating the same article across dozens of directories risks being treated as low quality by the algorithm. Article sites can still drive real referral traffic (as noted), but their SEO value is often limited — many directories either use nofollow/noindex or are low-authority, and Google’s approach to link attributes has evolved since 2013 (rel="nofollow", rel="sponsored", rel="ugc" are now treated as informative hints). (searchenginejournal.com)

Practical, low-effort changes that make a difference: submit only original, helpful articles (not lightly spun duplicates); prefer a handful of high-quality, relevant targets over dozens of low-quality sites (as practices); when you must syndicate, ask the publisher to use a rel=canonical pointing to your original or to noindex duplicates so your canonical page keeps search value; check whether the directory adds rel=nofollow or meta robots tags before expecting SEO benefit. Also measure referral traffic in Analytics and search-impact in Google Search Console before and after campaigns. (developers.google.com)

Bottom line: article submission was not magically killed by July 2013’s Panda — but the strategy that worked in 2008 (quantity + duplication) stopped working. Quality, uniqueness, and authoritative placement matter now. Learn from the thread: use article sites for targeted visibility and referrals, not for automated link farming (points raised by , , and remain valid when constrained by quality).

My website has more traffic from Article Submissions. I do submit contet on high authority article sites and get traffic from those sites. Since many Article sites give no follow, no index tag, it s not useful for back link building.
