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.
