If you are like me and have used article marketing for six years, you know how it boosts web site traffic and sells products for big profits. But, maybe you are unaware of Google requirements, or are making unknown mistakes that keep you from this free marketing technique's best success.

Mistake One. You dabble in article marketing. You send out a few to article directories, ezines, put a few up on your web site and then stop because you don't see immediate results.

Mistake Two. Your marketing stagnates using old-style marketing, not useful in the information-internet age. You don't know the value of internet marketing with articles.

Mistake Three. You resist online marketing because of various fears. Maybe you don't know how, you think it's too big, you're not a writer and you think it's too hard.

Mistake Four. You pay big bucks to article directory submitting companies and other programs that may ruin you reputation because your articles are not unique, and cause you to lose your web status with Google.

Mistake Five. You think you can't get enough ideas for articles. You wrote six and can't think of any more. You just quit. Know that article possibilities are in your client files, other people's articles and from your own books, talks and promotions.

Mistake Six. You don't know where to submit that will be the best use of your time. You need to know the top 20 web sites that require only 1 article a week.

Mistake Seven. Your article is not good enough to pass muster.Each article directory has a set of rules You need to be aware of them before you submit.

When you know your mistakes, you can correct them and use this great free online marketing technique to stay on top of your business, make the profits you deserve, and enjoy great visibility as the savvy expert in your field.
