12 Web Marketing Things I Wish Would Just Go Away

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing For Beginners.

Sorry If You Are In The List Of Web Marketing Things I Would Like To Gone!...

Photo by Thomas Hawk.


What about that title uh? I know that coming from an online marketer and business owner like can be a little bit odd to see me writing a blog post like this one. But, after constant interaction by unethical Internet marketing practices, and by new marketer trying to do promote their ventures with wrong methods because they don't know any better, I got fill with frustration. Because is just sad what sometimes happened in this industry.


Is time to make a change!... Don't you think?


1. Mike Filsaime MarketingDotCom Newsletter: Is just great when a marketer want you to paid for no more than 16 pages of information you can get for free on a blog. Just and case I was a customer for 3 month just to see if they improve it... Didn't happened!

2. Print Newsletters Prices: You have love it when a company sell you a subscription to a 20 or less pages' newsletter for a monthly rate of $30 or more, just because is in print. Come on, you can get a year subscription to Entrepreneur Magazine for half of the price of a month rate and get over 100 pages of full quality information.

3. Free poor quality ebooks or report: Not because is free you are going to provide me something you wrote after drinking a 24 pack with your joint venture partner. Keep the junk for yourself!...

4. Tweets to a sale page: Hey people don't mind if you send them to a landing page where they can get some quality relevant report for free. But we just hate it when you trying to sell us, instead you need to connect we us.

5. Don't ask me to send a tweet mention for you: This is social media, the age of permission and authority. You want me to (FOLLOW) mention you on Twitter, you need to interact and show if you are worth my effort. But, please stop asking...

6. Did you see my profile link: I don't even know you yet and you asking if I saw your profile link to your site. Who cares!... Let's talk, let's share, let's connect, and maybe then I will check you link!...

7. Facebook Inbox Fillers: Just we are Facebook friends, but that doesn't mean you can use the message system as your own autoresponder. I aproved your friend request to connect with you, and to get to know you, not for you to spam me every single day with crap I don't want!

8. Mike Filsaime Instant Affiliate Sites: What!!!!... You mean I have to pay you in order to get a web site that promotes your own products? Where the world is coming to, I don't paid Amazon.com and they give me better promotion tools and a custom store. Sorry Mr. Mike but you need to stop smoking whatever it is that you smoke!...

9. Other marketers opinion as testimonials: Sorry but i don't think joint venture partners opinion should be use as testimonials. Do you think this is unethical?

10. Paid marketing tools: OK, this is a biggy, because there are some marketers trying to sell you a tool which is just an App that connects and get the results from a web service that is already available to you for free.

11. Scammers that kill opportunities: When you are in the Internet marketing industry your conversion suffers, just because some idiot scam some poor entrepreneurs that were looking for a solution to their business problem.

12. Hackers that love to hijack your social accounts: Come on... Are these people two years old or something....

Just in case, you need to know that not all the print newsletters are a waste of money, or that all marketers products are poor. I just want you to be careful with those that don't offer real value for your money. And yes, even Mr. Filsaime have some good products that I fully recommend, like his 7 Figures Secrest Report, which has some good information. Same thing goes to web tools, there are many great tools you should have as part of your arsenal like Keyword Elite for research, CPA promotions, and more.

To your success,

The Marketing Bootcamp - Free Online Workshop

Sanjay Dalal, Chief Marketer of Semdia, invites you to a must-attend online FREE Marketing Workshop to answer this question: "How Can I Double My Business At My Website?" Did you know that more than 50% of your website visitors simply go away (bounce) without doing anything? Of the other 50% that do stay on your website, 45% don't buy or download. This means, more than 95% of your website visitors do not convert to customers. Learn More...



Further, Do you know how your customers find your website? Do you know all the possible ways your customers enter and exit your website (and it may not be from the home page)? You may be surprised when you find out how long your customers are staying at your website (or NOT). But the big questions you may have in current economy are:

1. Are my customers buying at my website? And how many are not buying?
2. Are my customers downloading something like a white paper, article or press release at my website?
3. Are my customers signing up to become a member, attend an event or talk to sales at my website?
4. Are my customers reading what I am posting at my website?
5. Are my customers "bouncing" right back to where they came from and I did not even know that?

Here are my questions for you:
1. What are you doing to hold your customer's attention at your website? (Is your website engaging?)
2. What are you doing to convert website visitors to customers?
3. Are you aware of all the places your customers go (on your website, and outside your website)?
4. What is your social networking media marketing strategy? Are you on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin, Plaxo, Blogger, YouTube, and more?
5. And finally, what do you do to make sure your customers find you first, before they find your competition? (Are you on first page of Search engine results?)

If you are not seeing REAL results from your online advertisements or marketing campaigns, it may have a lot to do with what happens to your customers after they click on that online ad and go to your website.

Get ready to learn everything about how your customers find you on the Internet, how they engage with you on your website, how they decide to convert from plain visitors to customers at your website in this innovative Marketing Bootcamp.

Our online marketing bootcamp is scheduled on June 12, 2009 from 9 am to 11 am PST. This online event is completely FREE.

Why I should attend?
1. I want to learn more about what my customers are doing on the Internet and on my website.
2. I want to sign up more customers on the Internet and at my website.
3. I do not want my customers running away to my competitor's website.
4. I want to make my marketing dollars work really hard.
5. I want to double my online business without breaking the bank - fast!
