It al depends on your strategy. Articles go across many sites, but are easily identifiable. Blog posts are being abused, so at some t8ime in the future will be devalued in the same way as directories.

You should think quality rather than quantity.

Articles put on blog are easily crawled by SEs...

As this is a part of search engine optimization and is there any other aspect which is best for seo purpose will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

The only difference is that blog gets updated by comments, whereas article does not.

Search engines give preference to fresh, unique and relevant content, so surely BLOG ranks above an article

This may seem like a stupid question to some but i will ask it,i have been writing articales for some of our websites for about 2 months and submitting them to ezinearticles.com with linkbacks to the sites but this is the part that i am not sure about,do you just leave the articales on that site or do you also add them to your site.So when your site is crawled they pick up the fresh content then or when they linkback to the site from ezinearticles.com.

Could some one help or advice on this one please.

i think articles on blogs with high PR are better in SEO compared to other methods. I think it's the best method, that's why companies such as reviewme, smorty and other similar companies exist...

Good about the article method (long term effect), if you publish your site in a known article directory there's a chance that your article will be republish in other article directory/site which gives you more backlink.

I always put the article/press release on my site first. This is what Google say about it:

Syndicate carefully: If you syndicate your content on other sites, Google will always show the version we think is most appropriate for users in each given search, which may or may not be the version you'd prefer. However, it is helpful to ensure that each site on which your content is syndicated includes a link back to your original article. You can also ask those who use your syndicated material to block the version on their sites with robots.txt.

From: Duplicate content

If you are regularly updating th blogs it will be more beneficial for your site than an article, since it has the same old content and search engine loves to show something new, informative and most appropriate to its users.
Articles are a one time process but blogs are regular. Blogs are used to publish your thoughts on the web. It requires you to continue till the end. you can archive the older one but it will be still there for your subscribers and will be on web. you can update it and your subscribers will automatically updated with the fresh content without accessing it again. Also any updation do not lift your blog from the web.
But in articles you have only one option among two, either remove it or leave it as it is. if you will modify it, it will be lost for some time till approval and hence you will loose the PR (if your article have some). you can not archieve it. One article can describe only one topic but one blog can be used to describe so many topics.

Promoting your site through blog is much easier than article marketing.

Article directory takes lot of time in reviewing a website.
