If somehow you're still using article directories as a link building tactic in 2014, just don't. In his latest webmaster help video, Google's Matt Cutts confirms that links from article directories are bad and will give you no ranking benefits.

If you go for article directories only the purpose of link building(SEO), then it will not give any ranking. A good quality content ever been value for brand promotions.

matt cutts said this is because if we submit the article on the thousand of the article sites are seem as a spammer. But if we submit the link on a quality website, I think this not bed for the seo because article is also the great source of increase the web traffic.
