So if you write an article, and submit and get accepted to 100 article sites... YES you may get 100 articles worth of links, but google knows their all identical and so completly devalues alot of the links (not completly makes them worthless, but worth alot less !) So you have to change the article each time. So you have time it takes to write the article, then time it takes to submit, then change the article, then resubmitt... all of this and you might get a few PR N/A sites worth of links. Its better to spend you time on somthing worthwhile. My reply to the title of this post would be: No.
