With standard retail article marketing, you write an article , insert some keywords, submit, and hope you get results. It may work and it may not. Bum article marketing takes you to the next level. Here is how it works. Instead of randomly submitting articles on saturated niches, search for untapped niches. This niche needs low competition. Use a keyword tool to find out the competition. A good rule is to stay with keywords with under 100000 results. Sign up for Clickbank and search for a product that corresponds with your chosen keyword. Select a few keywords and write several articles.
The article do not have to be long. The ideal article is at least 300-500 words. Submit the articles to top directories with your affiliate links.
