Today I read an article from poet Rose DesRochers about boosting traffic through e-zines. Normally I consider article sites like this to be tripe, but the theory seems sound to me. The idea is to post every article you write for your blog afterward on an e-zine that accepts duplicate content. You get another link, boosting your Search Engine visibility and offering a breadcrumb for readers to find you.

Rose suggests using the following sites:

articledashboard.com
isnare.com
articleblast.com
boazepublishing.biz
articlecity.com
goarticles.com

Has anyone else used this strategy and has it worked for you? Do other readers see those sites as tripe too? Is this more of a link building strategy than a way to attract direct readership?
