Make Money With Bum Marketing - List of Article Sites

E-mail
Wednesday, 09 April 2008

Bum marketing is nothing new to many people who have been making money online for a while. But it is in fact a great method to make money by writing articles on article directories. EzineArticles is one example of an article site, but I'll list some more recommended directories later on in this post.

So what exactly is the bum marketing method? It's just another word for article marketing basically. It's a free way to market on other sites. Popular article sites tend to do very well in search engine rankings. I guess the "bum" comes in because you're using someone elses website to write your articles (on the article directories). These article sites allow you to link back to your website at the end of your article, also known as a "resource box". This is where you leave your link to your page all about the product or service you was just writing about. With of course your affiliate link. It's important that the article you're writing is related to the affiliate product or service you're trying to make money from.

Here are a few things you'll need to do before you begin your journey with bum marketing.

  • Figure out what niche you want to write about. Something not so saturated, but at the same time make sure it is something "desired" (sometimes hard)
  • Find a good lower competition keyword you want to rank well for. Something like "make money" would be very difficult.
  • Figure out the product/service you want to market, then write a good article for it.
  • Submit the article to article sites.

  • Let me run through this..

    Lets say I see a good health or exercise campaign on one of my affiliate networks. Now I'll do some keyword research on something related to the product using a keyword suggestion tool. I won't use keywords that are too saturated of course, but I'll use some keywords that do get a good amount of searches per day.

    Now I have my product and keywords I want to use. For example, "bowflex reviews" gets an estimated 56 searches per day on average. This might be something good you could market if they have an affiliate program. Your article could rank at the top of the searches in Google. Make sure to use the keyword in the title of your article, and a few times inside the article. I'll now begin writing a high quality article for it (make sure you do some research on the product so you know some stuff about it). Now leave your link at the bottom of the article inside your resource box.

    Here are some article sites you can submit to.. Sorry I didn't sort them, but I don't think any of these are less than a PR3. Suggest some more to add to the list if you want.

    Just like with anything, the longer you do it, the better you will get at it. Some people make crazy amounts of money just with article marketing. Try it out and see how it works for you. Content is what rules. and if your content is good, then your article will rank high in the search engines and you'll make money from it.

      Still on the fence about articles sites. I've got about 30 over at ezines, but it's so hard to track visitors that until I can come up with a way, I'm gonna put a pause on it. But I'll save this post!

      @ Welcome Back Rosenth
      I know EzineArticles tracks how many URL clicks from each of your articles. They also track which URL's are clicked. Have you checked that out or are you talking about something else? Also, I see you're using Google Analytics!

      If you would like to add our directories - that would be cool:

      www.articlesnatch.com - over 300k articles - started dec 1, 2005.

      www.bigfreearticles.com - over 140k articles - started about 1 year ago.

      OK, only took me 5 weeks to find my way back here, but I slapped a stumble on it, so it's locked in now.

      What I as saying was EZA, tracks article clicks within the site, but once somebody takes it, it's hard to figure out where it ended up. For ex, I wrote a piece that featured my gravatar photo linked in. Get 40 server request a DAY , but I don't know where they're coming from. Analytics is dicey with images (and I've even modified the code).

      As I said in my last comment I DID take that article submitting break and this week resumed submitted to EZA they rejected it FOUR times-then finally apologized and said they'd take but I had to remove the link to my blog. So that's that with them. Can't track where it's going it's no use to me. Luckily you have this monster list.
