The Top 3 Stupidest Marketing Methods. (Are YOU using them?)
By Terah Logan
1.FFA Pages:
The only all the people who benefit from FFA pages are the owners. Think about it, you give your email address to submit your backlink
to a FFA link site in hopes someone will see your backlink
and click on it. When was the last time you stopped at a FFA backlink
page
and browsed through the links looking for something defined? Not to mention your email has been given (remember your gave your email when you submitted your backlink
) to a FFA hyperlink network, with thousands of owners, and you will now be bombarded with emails from FFA owners. In this scenario who wins? I hope your not thinking you did.
2.Automatic Hit Exchanges:
So you find a hit exchange that does not require you to click a special link to continue to the next site and thus earning you a credit. This is the Auto Hit Exchange and you think "WOW, I might
rack up a million hits in no instant, I will leave this running while I sleep!". Guess who else is thinking the identical
thing. Every other member of the auto hit exchange. So who sees your site? Probably no one at all. And its even more amazing these autohit sites offer credits you might
buy! You might
as well set fire to your funds
.
3.Purchasing 1 Million Emails for $9.95
Your checking out email marketing and you discover a page
that is selling 1 million (or a billion) emails for a ridiculously cheap price. The unknowing marketer will jump with joy and build the purchase on complete impulse saying One million (or billion) emails for less then I spend on lunch!. So the unsuspecting Marketer gets their emails, listed in some kind of text documment and stares, Now what do I do with them?. How will the marketer send these emails? You absolutely need bulk electronic mail
software and/or a bulk electronic mail
server which can run hundreds of dollars. Even if the marketer might
figure a way to send them out, its most likely a list made up of harvested emails and your e-doing business is
shut down because of SPAM. You always get what you pay for and this is no different!
