    Something to motivate us all? Like who canmake the most money in 15 days or in 30 days.

    What do you guys think?

    That sounds like fun! However, there's only one problem I can think of right off the bat....."Ezine Articles Premium members" will annihilate anyone who joins the competition. :eek:

    Meh maybe but since there is no prize money I don't think premium EZA members would join the competition. Besides premium members aren't bums anymore :p

    Perhaps you could have a rule that no premium members allowed? I doubt there are many here anyway.

    I'm one, that's why I mentioned that above.

    Being able to get all of my articles to go live when I want is too much freaking power!!!! :D I'm getting a crap load of more traffic, hops, and the most important one of all....sales!

    That $97 a month seems like a lot ( I know I thought the same thing in the beginning ), but after using the service for the past few months, I have more than made my monthly membership fee back and then some.

    LOL! Good point. It's funny too, since I've still be calling myself a "bum marketer" after going with the premium membership. I need to stop lying to myself! :D

    Good idea. We can say that inlinks can only come from articles posted at ezinearticles. Conversion/monetization can be anything.

    If we could organize this and get a good bunch of people (but not too many :eek:) to do it I think it would be great. I know I'd do it.

    Best of luck to everyone. Just gonna say it, cause I've seen it happen before. If you make money during the contest and find some success with articles or landing pages or whatever....

    DON'T post links to your shit unless you want it copied. Lots of people are gonna be reading, not to root for you, but to copy you. That's just the way it is.

    No. I don't feel like giving away secrets to my competition.

    Hi I'm a clickbank publisher and I am willing to monitor the best bum affiliate. I could post my clickbank analytic results to find out who the big winner is...

    My product is The Google Dominator
    and it can be found at this url:
    www.morewebsitetraffic.ca

    Just a thought
    thanks:cool:

    I could also monitor the source of all bum affiliates with my google analytics account. I will be able to tell where the visitors are coming from for every affiliate in the competition. But I wont share that information. I will just tell you who is cheating.
    :D

    It's called article marketing, not this ridiculous term, bum marketing.
