If you want to make it big in article marketing, you have to be aware of its many myths and misconceptions spreading throughout the web.

Below are common article marketing myths that need to be run to ground:

MYTH #1: Article marketing is not much of a help.

You get one-way backlinks to your site by writing articles and submitting them to article directories. This task is undertaken by a resource box where you to tell something about yourself and provide one or more than one URLs. The one-way backlinks you get with article marketing help you increase your link popularity and be a source of some of the most targeted traffic you can get. By writing and submitting quality articles you can help establish your expertise in your chosen niche.

MYTH #2: Submitted and reprinted articles do not offer your business any help because they only get indexed as supplemental pages.ny

As long as you write and submit quality articles and get accepted by a large ezine with half a million subscribers, there are bigger chances your articles can get a top 10 listing in major search engines, not just as supplemental pages.

MYTH #3: Submitting your article again and again creates duplicate content and search engines will penalize you.

One of the biggest article marketing secrets seems to be the truth about duplicate content and article marketing. According to Google, “Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar.” Duplicate content is two webpages that are around 70% similar, not two webpages that have similar text on them. It is those malicious duplicate content that WILL suffer a duplicate content penalty.

If you try to market yourself by following these article marketing myths, you’re likely to make some serious mistakes. Article marketing, when done correctly together with search engine optimization, can drive lots of free targeted traffic to your site and eventually generate sales.
