Not on the list because it is quite different is http://www.ehow.com/. It is a good place for beginners.

If you want to start with ONE article directory and don’t want to have to pay to submit articles, I would recommend EzineArticles as a good place to start submitting.  See below!
Directories requiring login to which SubmitYourArticle sends:

1. http://www.articlealley.com/
   
2. http://www.articlesbase.com/
   
3. http://www.ezinearticles.com/ – see their training articles library! This is one of my favorites.
4. http://www.goarticles.com/ 
   1. http://www.searchwarp.com/
