So there’s this method called “Bum Marketing” and basically it’s a method to drive people to your site through writing articles and posting them about the web.  Now I’ve done a bit of this, but the level of success if far from “stellar”.  The basic process is discover your niche, find good keywords, write an article that contains them, and then put a link to your site in your resrouce box.

The idea is solid and overtime will pay off, but if you want to see $ now, you really need to figure our a better traffic driver like adwords.  Don’t get me wrong, it does work, you just need to give it time, and sometimes that’s the hardest part.

Probably the biggest deposit of article is at ezinearticles.com. I really don’t like the layout of the site, but there’s no denying it’s power and affectiveness.  Give it a whirl, write about something you love, then see if you can make money at it

For search engine marketer’s it’s important to understand what other people do not know.  A perfect example.  I was at my in-laws for a super bowl party and my mother in-law said she went to my blog and didn’t understand a thing I was talking about.  That made me realize that just like with most  people with special skills, SEM and SEO  is no different.  People don’t want to think magazine ads, tv ads etc.  They also do not think that online marketing influences them either.

But it is important to constantly improve your skills.  I like to search and read blogs all of the time by my counter parts.  Many write lengthy disortations about things, while I have chosen to write smaller snippets.  As time goes on I’ll probably become passionate about a topic and write about it a length.  I might even help some folks understand how certain methods can get them banned from search engines, or put them into the realm of “Grey Hat”.  I’ve intentionally gotten a domain banned from Google just for the heck of it.

If anyone has any questions they can always feel free to write or comment on the blog and I’ll do my best to answer them.  But don’t be spammy, I make sure none of that stuff shows up
