Watch Out For Scams
Because Internet marketing requires a time investment
and few people truly know how to do it, you will find many people
out there that seem to offer magical solutions to your traffic
problems.
Don't fall for them! If a marketing topic is not
listed in this manual, it probably is a scam and will not work.
If you think you have a viable marketing strategy, I would be
interested to hear what you have to say. Shoot me a message at
support@workathomewebsites.com.
Some common scams are:
Buying traffic - These people offer to send you
100,000 visitors to your site for $24.95 (or whatever they charge
now). What they actually do is trigger a computer system that
generates unique IP addresses and tosses them at your website.
Your website statistics program thinks they are real visitors
because of the way these scammers have it set up. I learn this
the hard way when I first started out. I figured if I got 1 sale
per 1,000 visitors at $10, and I bought 1 million visitors for
$100, I would make a profit of about $10,000. What I actually
got was a complaint from my website host saying I was damaging
their server by my actions, plus I lost my $100.
Another common scam is the search engine cloakers
out there. These programs try to trick the search engines into
thinking your site has 1,000's of pages on it, which would mean
your site is a great asset to the Internet community. What actually
happens is your site gets blacklisted after about a month, and
is permanently banned from the search engines.
Another is the IP Advertising software programs.
I have not fallen for this one myself, but I know people that
have. I don't know how their system works, but I know they have
many people upset with them. Just worth noting here for you. Don't
use them if you see it out there.
In Closing...
You have been equipped with all of the information
you need to turn your website business into a thriving success
story. Now, put it to use! Oh so often people read training materials
and say, "yeah, those may work" or "that's a good
idea, but it would be too difficult to do". For those people,
I say good. That means I will have one less competitor to work
against while my business is booming! People who are lazy with
their business marketing, will never see success. Even if you
don't apply all of the techniques above, just a few will have
a huge effect on your sales.
How can you trust these things above actually
work?
Just spend a few minutes on our website. You will see each and
every one of these topics being utilized.
