I think you are talking about directory submission and article submission. First edit your title which is wrong. If you are talking about directory and article submission than both methods to get backlinks are very easy, important and faster, but you should do these activities in do-follow directories and try to submit fresh and unique content and don't try to do spamming.

Well, you can’t compare these approaches... One is for distributing content and other is about exposing your website.

From SEO stand point I would prefer to submit my website to reputed directories.
From traffic stand point I would do both...

Article submission is better in compare to directory submission. You can get good ranking in short time by using your keywords in article.

[xclever]

you can use both of them

[crowdfinch]

Article submission is faster than getting backlinks compare directory submission. If you article informative one, the readers like and share their friends. So, you can get back links and traffic also

[C.Rebecca]

It would be better for all the members if you could explain it bit more...

Both are important. In article submission you need relevant article and submitted to different article submission sites. In bookmarking you need to submit title,keywords and description in various bookmarking sites. Hope you get it.

Article And directory submission both are better for back links but Article submission is faster than getting back links compare directory submission. If you submit unique content in article then you will get more back links .And for directory submission you should try to submit in different IP directory.
