A further comment on this thread is that, although I have niche directories, one for web hosting and another for home repairs, handymen, etc, I find that the bulk of the articles submitted do not fall into these niches. That means a huge amount of weeding out to get to the few good, on topic articles.
When I started these sites, I had hoped to add value to the two particular sectors by providing quality content and targeted leads to the authors of the articles. My "thanks" was going to be the revenue from one or two affiliate programs and adsense. While I have made some money, it certainly doesn't equate to a good hourly rate.
I know that a lot of people use article submission software to post their articles. .... So, if you're content with a scatter gun approach, then this will get you a lot of content very quickly. It may be that my attitude to this is all wrong - if you ask in the ArticleDashboard forum, you might find that there are a lot of people making good revenue from their sites, just because they have got huge amount of articles.
