Probably not, but maybe some of you have. Basically bum marketing is a technique used to get free quality traffic to a website or product. There is a lot of information on bum marketing online and most of it is accurate, although some of it is inaccurate.

First, I’ll give you the no-fluff background information of bum marketing. Bum marketing techniques get all the traffic from Search Engine Optimization (SEO), but unlike most SEO techniques, you don’t use your own website. Basically you use article/directory websites which are websites where people write articles on various subjects so they can get noticed, have their article used in a reputable website, or get free traffic from the article.

Here’s how it works. Google and other search engines like high content websites, and these article websites contain thousands of different articles on various subject, so of course the search engines love them. So the idea is you write an article for a very specific subject and the search engine then lists your article at the top of the search results for the main keyword covered in your subject. This will generate traffic for your article. Your article’s purpose then is to convince your readers to click on the link at the bottom of your article to visit a product that you recommend.
So I started reading articles on Bum Marketing and got a general idea of how it works and I decided to give it a try to see if it’s worth everything people are promoting it to be. After all people are claiming to be making $200+ per day by doing this. So over the next few days I will post my experiences with bum marketing and I will tell you my strategy as well as my results.
