Article Marketing has long been the best source of quality web traffic for the savvy internet marketer. I say savvy because many internet marketers have realized that article marketing is a powerful FREE alternative to Google AdWords.

However many Article Marketer's focus all their efforts on the article itself and not enough on the article's resource box. This is a major mistake because the articles resource box is the only remuneration you are receiving for the article submission.

You are providing the article directories with content and they are monetizing your content with Google AdSense. The only remuneration you receive is appending the article resource box and thus generating click throughs toyour site for FREE. Thus you owe it to yourself to create an attractive resource box.

To do this you need to avoid the following Top 5 mistakes;

1. Poorly formed URL in resource box leading to a dead link.
Your link must start with http:// and end with.com.

2. Not bothering to include proper author biography.
You need to display your expertise and provide readers with proof that you ...
... have authority status in this niche.

3. Lack of compelling reasons to click through.
Youhave to give your readers a compelling reason to click through to your website. An effective means of doing this is to give away a FREE eBook or report.

4. Providing more than one link.
You need to focus the reader's attention on one link to a FREE download or report. A variety of links dilute your purpose and irritate readers.

5. Broken Links.
Make sure you test the article links in preview mode. Quite often a typo will result in a broken link which reflects poorly on your professionalism and worse still ensures you get no traffic to your website making that article a complete waste of time.

Ensuring you dont make these mistakes will have a huge impact on the traffic you generate from article marketing.
