Q.

Stay on B1 visa effects H1?

I have a query regarding the H1B visa.
Right now I am in US on a B1 visa.I was in US from Feb 2011 and my B1 is stamped for 6 months (untill July 2011) and my employer is planning to apply my H1 this year in July or August.
I heard that staying in US on B1 visa for 6 months continously(though I 94 is stamped for 6 months) will effect my chances of getting my H1B visa.I want to know how far it's true.In case if there are chances that my rejection of H1 increases because of my stay here in US on B1 for 6 months, I will plan to leave US this April.In case staying on B1 for 6 months and rejection of H1 are not related, I am planning to stay in US for 6 months.
Please help me to take the correct decision for my H1 visa to be granted.
