Increase Adsense Revenue Using Bum Marketing

[FindItFree]

Only recently I started exploring the concept of bum marketing.

You can hear more about that here.
===> BUM Marketing
The concept actually makes a lot of sense.

What I didn't understand at first is how it would affect my AdSense campaigns. Google wants relevant tightly niched web pages for their audience. If one provides such the rewards can be sweet to say the least.

Bum Marketing produces pages that are tightly niched to the given niche audience, reach the front pages of Google quite quickly & market wares to those most interested in the topical information.

Given that, it is now my anticipation that I will be seeing more love from AdSense as my articles become highly desired within specific niche audiences.

I'll report more as things get underway, but really this is the first week of my using the concepts of bum marketing to enhance my AdSense profits.

To my knowledge, as long as the link is highly topically related it is okay. Providing a link that has no relevance to the conversation at hand is an entirely different matter.

So, in many cases you are correct; but this case as I understand it is not the same.

How could it be against Google's TOS?

It's a completely white hat way of coming up with an article.

1. Use Google to find a relevant long tail keyword to write about.
2. Write and publish the article.
3. Put in AdSense, Affiliate Links or what have you that are all highly relevant to the topic at hand.

In a nutshell, with many parts left out, that's all you do. So if that violates an AdSense TOS I'd certainly like to know how.

Is there any difference between BUM marketing vs article marketing? What's new with this?

Hi Yaji

Bum Marketing & Article Marketing both involve writting. The difference between the two is that with Article Marketing you are approaching your keyword topic rather blindly.

Let's take the keywords "Article Marketing" for example. According to Google if I make those words my forus I will be competing against 3,830,000 other entries. Now if I apply the Bum Marketing principles to this keyword phrase of "Article Marketing" one phrase I can come up with is "article marketing worth" which has only 787 competitors.

Would you rather compete against over 3 million other entries or less than 1000 other entries? There is definetly more to the story of Bum Marketing, but this is the chief difference between the two terms.

Further, you can apply the Bum Marketing principles to any set of keywords to reach the same results.

But surely the term with 3,830,000 will generate much more traffic than the site with less than the keyword with less than 1000 competing sites (tbh, i do not think that will get more than 1 search a day, if that).

I think I hae a lot of these here even before i started my first website whcih was recently.
The way I understand it is that you have to find the niche or the less competitive keywords or phrases and then write article about it. This type of article writing is what i called article marketing. Bum marketing to sounds like just the same.
Can you really differentiate the two?

Thanks,

would this be considered black hat or grey hat?

Thanks for the comparison. The way I see it there is much diiference, can I rephrase BUM marketing a kind of article marketing targetted to long tail keyword? This is what most article marketers do. So what's the big diffrence? If I wanted to do article marketing for "car insurance", I may start from "cheap car insurance for women" rather than blindly "car insurance".

An internet marketer seldom write articles blindly when submitting articles to directories, all revolving his/her mind is actually keywords, keywords, long tail keywords...

Does this make sense?

I think this is all perfectly OK/legitimate, no blackhat involved.

Let's take two examples using the word "Internet"

If I target for the word "internet" itself at the time of this writting I have 2,620,000,000 competitors. Sure the chances of getting more hits is there, but are they really targeted hits? Does the keyword explain what people should be expecting when they arrive at my website?

Now, I turn on the "bum marketing" process and through careful planned research arrive at "history of the internet" with only 275,000 competitors. Plus I have the added bonus that people are more likely to know what to expect when they arrive at my site. I'd gladly take 1 highly niched visitor a day compared to 1000 haphazared visitors that have no clue why they actually selected my link. However, by the plan I have explained this number is still to high.

so I do some more research and arrive at "a short history of the internet" with only 3,500 competitors and an audience that really knows what to expect when they arrive.

Given the above information who would you prefer to receive as your traffic?
1. People clicking on the word "Internet"
or...
2. People clicking on the bum marketed keyword phrase of "a short history of the internet"?

Which group is logically and likely to stay on your website longer? Part of the algorythm of the search engines factors in how long people stay and or explore your website. Given that my site is a PR2 in less than 4 months from creation I'm liking the bum marketing process myself.

Also, since beginning this process I am ending up on the 1st page of Google against all other competitors with many of my targeted words. That's nothing but sweet in my opinion.

However, the truth is that I have left uncovered some critical aspects of bum marketing as of yet. Why? Because I'm hoping people really grab on to this concept first. It's critical to bottom line success.

I'd be glad to, but you actually already did when you said the words "I think". I don't "think", but I "know". That is the bigges difference.

Your signature file includes the words
"calculate a mortgate"
Which has only 9 competitors. That's far to small a segment to go for, though there are people paying PPC bucks for that keyword so you have to weigh your options.

However, why not use something like
"free mortgage loan calculators"
Which has 4,840 competitors and just as much PPC activity as your chosen words.

Now all that's left is to write an article or two or three... you get the idea around the target of "free mortgage loan calculators".

While your keyword is indeed niched, I believe it's niched to far according to my research.

In my opinion it's white hat. Your just doing research on a topic before you write about it.

Yes it does make sense.

The biggest difference from the information I have shared would be that bum marketing goes beyond "revolving his/her mind" to the actual facts of the situation.

You would be correct in not targeting "car insurance" because that has over 48 million competitors at the time of this writing.

Thinking this through with the conclusion of targeting "cheap car insurance for women" you arrive at 60,600 competitors and a market that knows what to expect. This is certainly good. But without researching the search engines first you are guessing at best.

However, with search engine research you arrive at "buy affordable car insurance" with 6,410 known competitors at the time of your writting. This number certainly will change, but by the time it does you'll be 100 bum marketing keyword niched articles down the road.

So the biggest difference from what I have shared is that I KNOW while you "think". Less than 5 minutes of work puts your knowledge and Google's history together to arrive at the optimum choice. That's really hard to beat in my opinion.

New discovery just today.

I found a niched keyword using the bum marketing approach.
"so you want to go to heaven" (total = 3,730 competitors)

NOTE: This is with quotes included.

Now... If I remove the quotes I am left with
so you want to go to heaven (total = 1,200,000 competitors)

On the actual keyword I was using my article that I wrote YESTERDAY was at #1 position with quotes and #3 position without quotes. That #3 position catered to over 1 million people.

Targeted niche through bum marketing strategies paid off in spades. I'll gladly take a narrowed down segment at #1 if I can also have a broader segment with position #3 from an article I wrote less than 24 hours ago!

Why do I tell you this? Because this is just one of many strategies I teach people who are serious about making a living on the Internet through my free newsletter.
