Check out the site. Is this an article directory? Not in the tradtional sense, but they do still except articles written by their members, and the site actually revolves around their how to articles. There are articles on how to do everything, from decorating a Christmas tree to making a woman happy. And given the high ranking from a search engine, this wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Do another search online, this time for the term article directory. Check out the first couple of results, as these will have the highest ranking.

This will allow a free-for-all without standards. No one will want to use anything from these types of directories, including your quality content. Also look for sites that have some stats listed on their page, like how many downloads, articles or authors are on their site.
