Well I'm real tired today so will cut my losses and just do some keyword research. I recently bought Keywords Analyzer based on recommendation but am a little disappointed with the keyword generation.
However, I don't think it is their fault, more because they are relying on Overture for data and as everyone knows, Overture is really slow these days. Unfortunately for these keyword tools, it does reduce their effectiveness somewhat. However, it does have the ability to import lists from...
Wordtracker - an oft overlooked tool, I first found out about this from Andy Williams' blog, EZ SEO News. Overture simply doesn't compare to the results you can get from this tool. I won't bother with a hard sell because there is no affiliate program for it, but you can get a free trial or use for a day for £4.25 - that is usually what I do, but this time I have bought a week's worth.
So tonight I'm really tired, sometimes you just need to cut your losses and get some sleep, get your affairs in order and tonight is that night for me. I've done one niche worths keyword research and an quite happy with the keywords, some real gold I have found.

How I Organise My Bum Marketing
I published another article today...right on track.
I have generally been quite poor at tracking and testing. It's strange because my background is in engineering, a scientific discipline where experimentation is all part of the process. The problem is, tweaking only one thing and retesting is such a laborious chore in all aspects of life!
If we only tweaked one thing at a time, it would take forever to go through all the permutations and potential opportunities would be lost, in my opinion.
Nevertheless, we should still try to keep some structure, especially in Bum Marketing.
For my Bum Marketing project, I've decided to keep a spreadsheet with columns such as:
I've also created more columns which act as checks for my keywords:
All my chosen keywords must meet the above conditions, with some rare or occasional exemptions. The reason for this is that to make the most return on my time, I must be efficient in my use of it so therefore only good keywords will do. Poor keywords are a false economy in the long run.
Well, gotta get some winks so I'll see you around, hope you found the above useful!

For my Bum Marketing project, I've decided to keep a spreadsheet with columns such as:
- Keyword Phrase
- Clickbank Tracking ID
I've also created more columns which act as checks for my keywords:
- Overture score between 1,000 and 5,000
- Less than 1,000 results in Google for USFreeads/Goarticles
- Less than 10,000 results in Google for Ezinearticles
- Top 10 Google Results mostly low PR sites
All my chosen keywords must meet the above conditions, with some rare or occasional exemptions. The reason for this is that to make the most return on my time, I must be efficient in my use of it so therefore only good keywords will do. Poor keywords are a false economy in the long run.
Well, gotta get some winks so I'll see you around, hope you found the above useful!

An Article A Day
Well still no sales and seemingly nothing indexed yet. Hmm...yet I obeyed the keyword rules so should be ranking by now....anyway more on my progress in a bit, first I thought I would share with you my current plan.
I'm a natural procrastinator - play now, play later and work last. I can't help it, I've always been that way. Even a Myers-Brigg test revealed that about me.
I aim to do work during the week and inevitable end up delaying till the weekend, I'm so tired after work. Then I spend the weekend sleeping and playing because I feel I "deserve it". Then I see where I am 3 months down the line and get angry at myself for having achieved hardly anything!
Not so this time. I've decided to set an easy target to keep to - an article a day during the working week. That's barely 20 minutes of my time.
Someone on Warriorforum is making 150 bucks a day from Bum Marketing with 150 articles and 300 USFreeAds. So at a conservative article a day it should take about 6 months to reach this.
It's not forever but hopefully I can up the pace within a few weeks.
One thing that does concern me is that I'm only advertising on Goarticles at the moment whereas everyone else seems to use Ezinearticles. Problem is, you need to invest in some domain names for cloaking purposes on Ezinearticles and I'd rather make money before investing in domain names - in the past I've always invested first and earned later, usually less - this time I would rather put my earnings towards my investments in that order!

Welcome to Bum Marketing Blog
Hi!
Welcome to Bum Marketing Blog!
The Bum Marketing Method is a concept created by Travis Sago - it's a free way to make a lot of money from internet marketing, you can read more about it here: Bum Marketing Method.
Just a quick note to say that I have no affiliation with Travis Sago or the Bum Marketing Method. This blog is simply a record, journal, trials and tribulations of my own efforts at Bum Marketing.
I started this blog because I started Bum Marketing about 3 weeks ago and haven't made a single dime from it yet! Perhaps I am doing something wrong or perhaps not...
Here I will share my progress with you and I hope that we can all learn from each other to improve outselves and out Bum Marketing efforts.
Right, its past midnight and I've got work tomorrow so I'll write more later, cya!
