I’ve written about 100 articles over the course of the last 2 months and I’ve had some pretty good success with EzineArticles.com, and have always highly recommended the site…

But the last few weeks I’ve noticed some strange occurrences. A few weeks ago I wrote a Review that I rewrote for EzineArticles and everything was looking good… nothing spammy about it. I actually made sure it was less spammy than another Review of the same product on their site that was approved. End result? Not accepted… I cleaned it up a little more… NOT accepted. I gave up and submitted to GoArticles. Approved. Interesting…

Then, yesterday, I decided to change the Author Resource box of almost 20 articles (all of which were already approved!) to point to this domain, rather than the other Blog I had listed… all but 3 were approved. They said that I was pointing to too many domains… what?! ALL I did was change the Author Resource box and had the same amount of links (2) - just going to THIS blog, instead of the other.

It’s pretty annoying when you see people abusing their system and your LEGIT articles are not accepted…

I tried to respond to the emails but I have a feeling I will not receive a response back.

So frustrating!

These days it’s hard enough to find a real, honest, Internet Marketing program these days… but an honest Internet Marketer?

I’d like to introduce to you, Travis Sago. Mr. Sago created the Bum Marketing Method, which is the best form of Article Marketing, in my opinion. I first heard about Travis Sago when I was a member of a membership sites called “Rich Jerks” … no, not “the rich jerk”, it was A LOT better than that book, which I’m ashamed to have given a testimonial on back in 2004 when it was first released.

Noah Fleming had mentioned Travis Sago on his forums and had given him high praises, which meant a lot to me since I considered (and still do) Noah to be a very honest person and very generous.

But I had never heard of him before or after that until I purchased my Wealthy Affiliate University membership. To he honest, I figured he was just another one of those gurus we’ve all come to know and dread to see or hear from online (or off, for that matter)… until I hit the forums of WA hard and ready to learn.

Wow…

This guy’s posts on the Wealthy Affiliate forums are SO informative. I’ve NEVER seen someone give out so much great marketing information for free.

Within 1 week I had practically stalked this man to read everything he ever wrote on the forum so that I could learn everything I needed to know… and boy, did I ever!

Seriously, this guy taught me more in that week than any other Internet Marketing program, system or book that I’ve ever purchased. I’m very glad I had caught on to how giving this guy is…

Travis Sago is definitely one of the most trustworthy guys I’ve come to know online… and imagine that… he’s a damn INTERNET MARKETER!

Ha… and we all thought they were evil bastards just waiting to lure us into their wicked web!

The Bum Marketing Method is such a great way to make money for newbies online… actually, it’s great for advanced users, too, but it’s definitely a GREAT way to get to know and understand Affiliate Marketing in general. PPC newbies could also learn a lot as the method actually teaches a lot about Niche Research and Keyword Research, in general.

You can see his site here: www.BumMarketingMethod.com or you can catch him on the Wealthy Affiliate Forums, too!
