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.

If you’re researching what the best article submission services are, you probably already know that article marketing is very effective.

However, article marketing is a laborious task.  This effective yet mind-numbing site promotion and traffic generation method can take up a lot of your time and you may get burnt out after you’ve done a lot of writing and submissions.

If you want to rank at the top of Google for your desired keywords you need to find great keywords that convert well, plus find what keywords people are searching for, with low, medium, or even high competition, then find a way to get as many eyeballs on your articles, then click your link sin your articles, then go to your site, read your other content there, then click on a link to a recommended product or join your list via a squeeze page.

The sales process is long and drawn out when trying to make sales via direct article marketing.  The REAL value to article marketing comes NOT from the articles themselves, but from what those articles do; build backlinks.

Once you start building backlinks, your main sites will rise in the rankings in the search engines, and when this happens you’ll start to receive more diret traffic for free from the search engines.

When you have high ranked sites in the search engines, there is less of a process involved for making sales.

As mentioned previously, the people traffic generated directly from your syndicated articles has to go through a series of steps before they read your sales page or squeeze page.

Again, the reader may see your article syndicated somewhere else on a blog network or article directory then will have to read your article, click a link in your article, go to your site, read some more information, then make a decision on whether or not they’re going to click yet another link, and if they get this far, they’ll have to decide whether or not they’re going to buy anything from you or even join your list.

Whereas, if this person typed in one of the keywords you’re targeting and went directly to your site, then there is a higher probability of retaining the readers’ interest all the way through to producing sales or generating new subscribers.

Now, even though this post is making it seem like it’s hard to make sales with direct article marketing traffic you can and will make money with this type of method.
