A Sneaky Bum Marketing Trick

Friday, June 6th, 2008 |

When it comes to Bum Marketing it is very easy to keep buying all the latest guides and ebooks . This can distract you and stop you from achieving your goals and prevent you from taking ACTION..!!  (Not to mention all the extra money you end up spending)

Here’s a Sneaky little trick i would like to share with you, I like to call it “The Reverse Engineer Method”.

You’ve know these so called Expert Authors that submit article after article to the directories. Well they do it for a reason and it’s obvious, Article Marketing works and these big guys know dam well.

You need to model yourself on these Experts.

Add this technique to your Bum Marketing Arsenal.

Go and look at the Expert Authors List over at EzineArticles -> http://www.ezinearticles.com/?type=experts

Click through the articles and check out the Bio links.

What sites are being linked to and what products are being promoted?

What niches are being targeted?

Check out and investigate what these Article Marketers are doing.

Check out page article page views and competiton withinGoogle.

You’ve got to understand these guys have done all the hard Market Research themselves along with Keyword Research, etc so all you have to do is take it and improve on it.

Do not copy anything directly but there’s nothing wrong with improving things.

There are far too many poor Articles over at Ezine Articles that are just waiting to be improved upon and it is so easy to dominate with great content.

Look out for high page views along with a poor article.

Re work the keywords and article and produce a great article.

Ezine Articles is a great place to use for research and you should squeeze as much as you can out of it..

This is what makes us good marketers.

Go now and be inspired over at Ezine Articles.

Which Brand of Popcorn Pops Better and Which Brand of Popcorn Pops the Most

Monday, May 12th, 2008 |

Sunny Select Popcorn pops better and I’m sure Sunny Selects pops the most…!!

You might be wondering what the hell this blog post has to do with Internet Marketing and you’re probably thinking I’m going a little mad due to lack of sleep. You could be right..!!

Yesterday I took part in a very interesting thread over at the Warrior Forum.

(Link at the end of this post)

The Thread was titled “Bum marketers: This term gets 2,019 daily searches”.

The term/keyword was “Which Brand of Popcorn Pops the most” and according to Wordtracker the term is searched 1615 times a day and has 1120 competiting sites over at Google.

This is great for all you Bum Marketers, Article Marketers, Squidoo Marketers, Blog Marketers and the rest of you that love longtail keywords.

This term was put on a silver platter and was put in front of many Savvy Warrior Marketers and was ripped wide open for some experimentation. The thread had been viewed 1600 times within 24 hours.

A squidoo lens turned up within the number 2 position within 24 hours of releasing the keywords. This just proves how powerful Squidoo is.

Loads of Bookmarking for the terms turned up. Everyone was doing some experimentation with the keyword.

I gladly lent a hand to the post and did some quick research for other relating terms and I uncovered some great keywords.

Me personally would of followed Tim Gorman’s Blueprint and would then flipped the site for profit after I’d had some fun with it. )Maybe I will when everything settles down with the terms and phrases)

Here’s a valuable post I added -

I really beleive adsense is probably the way to go with this one too..

This is really open for you Warriors that want to have some fun and recently there doesn’t seen to be any free goodies being given away in this forum.

If you’re new to this and want to give it a try then here’s a load of free information to get you going - http://www.workathomemadeeasy.net/e…tefunnel.pdf

Once it is set up and running test the adsense income and track the traffic coming in - www.Statcounter.com

Then go and sell (website flip) the site on - http://marketplace.sitepoint.com This is a great Blueprint for you to follow and if you’ve already got hosting then it will only cost you the price of a domain.

Here’s a link to the forum thread -> Click Here

Now this was just bit of a laugh but could easily be turned into a profitable campaign. Uncovering New Niches can be great fun.

Mass Submitting an Article to Many Directories

Thursday, April 17th, 2008 |

When you submit to Article Directories a few things happen.

The people surfing these Article Directories are going to come across your article and read it and then click through your link.

Another great thing that can happen is a Ezine Publisher may come across your article and then publish it offering it to their subscribers which will also give your article more exposure.

Another great benefit of Article Marketing Submitting is that Google will index the article so it will show up in the Search Engines for the Long-Tail Keywords you use in the title. This also helps to build up backlinks to your site gaining more link juice to help your sites within Search Engine rankings.

This linking can help any site even sales pages gain good positions within the Search Engines.

Article Marketing and Writing

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008 |

Article Marketing generates a lot of traffic if done correctly and it’s a great way to warm up your traffic and generate hot leads.

When creating articles you need to be targeting long-tail keywords similar to the Keyword Task 1, Week 1

You need to create articles around these keywords and target highly searched keywords with low competing sites. (Under 20,000)

A lot of people give up after only writing a few articles. You have to keep churning out articles like a factory. You will soon get the hang of things once you’ve written 50+ articles.

When writing an article you have to create a great headline. You must include a benefit within the headline and provoke curiosity. Also a call for action works.

The long-tail keyword phrase must appear in the title for the search engines to pick up on it.

Also it helps the search engines if the keyword also appears a few times within the article body but the article must read naturally.

If you follow this structure you shouldn’t go too far wrong

  • Keyword in Headline
  • Keyword in 1st Paragraph
  • Keyword in Middle
  • Keyword in final Paragraph

Very important - The reader must be kept interested to read all of the article and actually reach the resource box without being put off by un-readable flowing content because of you keyword stuffing. Be careful and don’t over do the keyword insertion.

Now some people find writing articles difficult but a great way to write the article fast is to break the article down into easy manageable sections.

eg How to do something in 3, 4, 5 ways or 5 top tips. You get the picture. Concentrate on one tip at a time and you will be able to write the article much easier.

Now you must have a resource box in mind before writing the article because this is what you want the reader to click on in the end.

Tip - Write content first and edit last.

Task

Pick a resource box from the previous task and using the keywords from the very first task write as many articles as you can within 2 hours. Make sure the articles are 500 words minimum.

Enjoyed this task as I love to write articles.

Results -
Would love to post the articles I wrote but Lee might not agree with this as it could possibly turn up as duplicate content.

(Week 2 Task 5 Intern Program)

Creating a Resource Box

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 |

A resource box is normally the body of text at the end of an article that has been submitted to an Article Directory. The resource box is an area you can put your link and call to action.

For example you would link back to your site to get readers to click through to your link.

Writing articles and submitting them to Article Directories is a great way to drive traffic to your site if done correctly.

The Resource Box has to be good enough to tease the readers to click though the link.

Why use Article Directories..?

Article Directories have very high Page Rank and Google loves these Article directories because of the constant new content.

Go and look at this example article for an example.

The resource box will be located at the end of the article.

How to Make Money Through Domain Names

The resource box should state at least one benefit and try and provoke curiosity.

Task Results

I am required to write as many resource boxes as possible within 2 hours.

You must treat a resource box like a headline, raise curiosity, and use benefits then hit with a call for action such as “visit”, “click”, and “go to”. The call to Action is to get a click on the link.

Within 2 hours create as many resource boxes as possible for the following URL’s

URLs to create resources boxes for
