Some of you may be very well versed in using different types of advertising on the Internet. Most of the material that I have read out on the Net tells you to use mainstream advertising like Google Adwords.  However, in my ventures out into the cold cruel world of Internet marketing I have stumbled upon a sub culture of people called ‘Bum Marketers” that have thrown some pretty cool ideas that most people wouldn’t consider using.

Bum Marketers try to use the cheapest and easiest ways to sell affiliate products or their own wares over the Internet. Usually, they try to use legitimate “White Hat” techniques that get pretty quick results, but every now and then they will try to use techniques that aren’t so SEO friendly.  You really have to watch out for some of the methods  that  these people use to market their business on the Internet because you can really get red flagged on some of your pages by Google if you aren’t careful.

One of the methods that they use is to purchase links from directory selling sites.  in some cases , you can go to a link selling site, purchase anywhere from 50 to 200 links from sites that have page ranks of 5 or 6.  Now. this idea used to work pretty good because you could get 50 links from sites that had page ranks or 4 or more and it would really help you.  A couple of years ago, though, Google initiated a new algorithm that said “If the sites that are linking are not relevant, then we (Google) will ignore those links to your site. So, if you have a website about radio controlled cars, Google wants to see sites that have some sort of relevance to that type of site link to yours.  in other words it would be better to have another site about radio Controlled Cars Accessories link to your site instead of a site about the mating call of the flat footed platypus.

Now some of these sites that can get links to yours are getting pretty sophisticated about this and they will find relevant links to your site, but you will really pay good money to get those limnks too.

One of the methods that they use concerns a company that costs $9.00 to use a month.
