Mistake 1: Submitting the Same Article to Most Article Directories

ezinearticles and articledashboard. The small problem is that the primary search engines like Google and Yahoo do not like to see duplicate content. They tend to neglect the duplicate content and only list the first one they find.

Solution: Invest a little time in rewriting your article a few times for more effectiveness. The quickest way to do this is to rewrite every paragraph at least three times and mix the paragraphs as you submit them to the article directories. Yet a better way is to rewrite each one of the sentences three times and mix them. But this could be a huge pain and that’s is where a good article spinner/re-writer comes in.

Mistake 2: Weak Resource Box

A lot of article marketers allow their ego to take over their emotions when they fill in their resource box. They like to talk about themselves and how awesome of an expert they are and that you should spend your money with them or listen to what they have to say. WHAT A DRAG!

Solution: The resource box is your last chance to get your reader to do something which is to click on your link. Remind the reader that they have benefited from your information. Tell them where they can get more. Try to always make it about them and not you.

Mistake 3: Not Using Blog Networks

Article marketers tend to think linear and only submit their content to the article directories. They are missing a huge opportunity and many just do not know about it. Don’t you make this mistake.

Solution: Take advantage of the blogs. There a a lot of blogs tied to networks sitting there and waiting for new fresh content. Once you spin your articles let them loose in the blogasphere and get a bunch of links pointing back at your web pages. The search engines love blogs because they change often.
