Post subject: Questions with article marketing & Bum Marketing
|
 |
|
Hello everyone,
Lately I have been putting into practice the teachings of Travis Sugo from Bum Marketing. However there's a lot of things I am unclear about and that I can't figure out based on the sound principles of article market. For the most part I understand search engine algorithm, page rank and how to have your article rank highly on Google or other search engines. However, along the way of practicing article marketing I came across a number of things which I have listed bellow.
I would really appreciate anybody who could take the time to answer these questions because they would contribute to both my understanding and everybody else's understanding of the little ins and outs of really being successful with article marketing and with the Bum Marketing method.
1. When an article is posted on ezine articles or a WordPress blog account, how long does it take for the search engines to pick up that particular article or post? I went to the Google tracking tool to see if my website was picked up. I found that it was, however doing a Google search with quotes around the exact term that I used in my title didn't bring up my my article for the majority of keywords that I searched for. However, there are some searches that I did in which my article is displayed.
2. After doing some manual searching for keywords using quotes in the search bar I have noticed some interesting behavior. For example, the term "how to play downloaded PSP games" returns a web page on number three position for a post on Yahoo answers. However, I'm wondering why when I searched for the term without the quotes that the Yahoo answer post was not even displayed on the first page nor on the second and neither on the third page? This is strange because even without quotes, the Yahoo answers post had the exact search term that I was searching for in their title. At the very least it should have been at the bottom of the for each.
3. I noticed that for some of the key words that I used in my blog posts that they appear in the search result only if I use quotes. However, when I search for the term without quotes I can't find my post on any page at all, not even page 10. So why would my post only appear if I search with quotes but not without them?
4. I have seen a number of ezine articles on search results, and I can understand why certain articles have only been viewed about 6000 times since November 2006 if the term that is used in the author's title of ezine article is searched on average of 1200 times a month. So given that I did the search yesterday, this means that two years, that's 28,800 searches given that the average searches 1200 times a month, and strangely the ezine article that's sitting in 2nd place for 24 months.
5. What is most likely to be a better ranking post, one that is posted on WordPress or on ezine articles or another high-ranking article directory?
6. For articles between 200 to 600 words, how much percentage of the article content needs to have keyword search term and it?
So basically I'm asking these questions in order to have a better understanding of search engine algorithm and how it pulls up results. I thought I originally had a good understanding of how webpage results are generated, but I became really confused when I did certain manual searches and found some interesting behavior.
As I mentioned before, I have been a number of searches where I could only see a website on the first page if I search for the term in quotes, however when I searched without quotes that seem webpage that has a page rank of 8 to 9 doesn't even display on the second page. Has anyone ever noticed this?
I don't know how many people tried Bum Marketing according to how it's taught, but when I read it it seemed pretty straightforward. Basically to generate some keywords that have a good monthly search volume, keywords that have competition between 100 to 5000 results, and to make sure that you are submitting your article on high page ranking websites. Then then after following the steps one should see their webpage somewhere on the first page, however at the very least to be seen on the second page because the search term used is the exact same one that is in one's title and body of article.
However from my experience, I've seen that it could be a little bit more than just that.
Thank you very much and I look forward to your reply.

Hello Dorian,
First,I want to congratulate you for making your doubts questions in well ordered and clear manner.I wish I could do the same
Here I am trying to answer them as much as clear you have asked.The answers are not in the same order you have asked the questions.
The difference between the term searched with quotes and without quotes is phrase match and broad match as it is called in PPC advertising.
When you make a search with term in quotes, Google produces the results where the term is matched as a phrase and orders them according to the domain trust and freshness of the content.You could have noticed the bold terms in each result displayed.
When you make a search for the term without quotes, then results appear according to the relevancy and domain trust combined with freshness of the content.If you notice the bold terms in the results, you could notice that they are not necessarily in the same order as the words appeared in your search term.
Hence ranking for the term in quotes doesn't mean that you will rank for the term without quotes unless you have built the semantic connection between the terms inside quotes in your article.
Sometimes,when you have fresh content and keywords in title, you couldn't find you article in search results even with quotes because either the article is not indexed or the article doesn't have enough domain trust to be listed.Search engines consider keywords,freshness and domain trust together while displaying the results but not just these three alone.
A better ranking post will be the one which is in ezinearticles or a high PR article directory if it is written proper to accommodate the keywords because a badly written article posted in ezinearticles or high PR domain could not rank just because they are in a high PR domain.Wordpress is also good, if you can manage to build decent back links to the wordpress blog and get a decent PR.
There is no rules when it comes to keyword density in an article but is it better to keep around 7%.Some of the articles which are having keyword density around 1% ranks well because they are relevant and well written.
In nutshell,
Use the keywords in readable format in titles.
Use the keywords in the first line of the body.
Use the synonyms of the main keyword through out the body in semantic manner.
Focus on relevant content instead of creating a article with keywords spilled randomly.
Check the articles directory for the similar articles and which one has the most potential to be listed for the keyword you have chosen. If you do search for "site:articledirectoryname keyword" (without quotes and articlesitename with proper extension) it will list the pages which the search engine feels relevant for the keyword you have mentioned from the site you searched.Compare the number of articles already existing in the site and compare the top ranked one with your work.If you feel your article is better than it, then submit it.Otherwise find another articles site for posting your article.
Use the proper call to action phrase in the article to make the readers visit the site mentioned in the article.
Hope this make sense 
Cheers! |

Article marketing is filled with mysticism and confusion. I have submitted dozens of articles to hundreds of article directories. Here's the truth.
Most article directories end up becoming bugged/parked/redirected after 6 months. Stick with the old, established ones to avoid wasting your time as I have done....or submit to the new ones and check back in a month (like I do now). If it exists you should be good.
Ranking for the title of the article is easy to do if its unique but common sense says if the title is high competition such as Make Money Online then it will not rank without building backlinks for your articles (some do this, but I advise NEVER to build up another site that you don't have control over).
You can submit the same article to multiple directories. You are usually after the SERPS/link juice for the "About Author" links and not the actual title of the article.
If you write an article on Why red cars go fast
your about author might have a link in it for "red cars" The title is trivial at this point and just used to be relevant and indexable by the SE's.
Recap: Your articles will most likely not rank for its title unless its obscure but that's OK, as you are usually more concerned with the links within the article. Even if it doesn't get indexed right away 99% of the time it will; just takes some time.

Online article marketing provides directory publishers with free content. It also provides web-based businesses with free advertising. Promotional articles are written to target certain niche markets. They are then distributed to directories that focus on those markets. This provides business owners with a ready-made audience that already has an interest in the topic.
