How to Avoid Free Advertising Spam

This week I looked into ways to improve my blog standings with the search engines. I quickly goggled traffic exchange, banner exchange, link exchange and came up with overwhelming results. I began clicking on an ad after ad and if it said free I signed up.

Emails quickly poured in and I diligently  began searching though the companies. I soon  realized that the  BBB didn't have a record of at least half of the companies. The half that sends all the spam mail of course. Later I found out though a reliable source that these companies make great offers to get your email address to add to their list. List  that they will later sale for a large profit.

Weeks went by and I was constantly overloaded with mail offering great deals. At first I continued to  check them out, but as the week wore on I  realized most I'd seen at least once before. I also noticed that some of the emails didn't have my name on instead it had (costumers name.) My initial reaction was well heck if you are going to spam me at least put my name on it, make the offer look legit anyhow.

My piece of advice for the week is this:
1. Don't sign up for anything that says free or time sensitive until you've checked the business out first. No matter how good the offer or how many minutes, slots they say is left.
2. The old saying if it sounds to good to be true should always be remembered while you are searching.
3. When you do sign up be smart and make another email account for this project. Otherwise you might loose important email among all the spam.

One last thing. During this chaotic adventure I did  find two companies I plan to use adlandpro and link exchange. They both seem to be reputable companies.

Thats all the advice I have for now so take care dear readers. I hope to see you  back here again soon.

Advertising for the Internet Market

You have found a business that you want to promote but your not sure how. One type of advertising is by placing ads on the free online classified sites. I know some will tell you that this type of advertising will get absolutly nowhere. Although the outcome isn't as great as other types of advertising Your business will get responses If you know the ad basics.

The Headline

It is the most important part of your ad

It should grab the readers attention

It should be original

The ads should contain strong keywords that has been highly searched You can do a keyword seach through google adwords. https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal#

The First Two Sentences

The first 2 sentences is the most important text in internet marketing. If your reader isn't interested they will move on.

The sentences of the ad should be strong.

It should persuide the readers of the ads important, and make them want to read more.

The Body

Describe your business and what it has to offer.

Tell the reader what is in it for them

Make them believe this is the best deal out there, once in a life time thing.

The advertising should be original. If a reader has seen simular ads they will quickly loose interest.

The description should be accomplished in as few words as possible.

A lot of people uses bullets in internet marketing. I've personally had great results with bullets.

Things to Remember About Internet Marketing

The business promotion should be short sweet and to the point.

Your advertising should use key words in your title and throughout the ad

The idea in internet marketing is to grab the readers attention with your title and keep there attention throughout the add.

You should give just enough information to peak their interest so they want to know more.

During your business promotion you should explain in detail what is in it for them.

Your advertising should make the deal sound good but not overly so otherwise your readers we believe it is a scam.

How to Find Legitimate Work at Home Opportunities

Although the web has created a lot of opportunities for home businesses it has also created a opportunity for scams. Scams that take people for millions of dollars on every single day. By following my simple guidelines you will know more about what to look for when deciding whether the company is legitimate or a scam.

Once you have found a business that interests you should investigate the company before you agree to anything. When I say investigate I mean check company age, background, financial stability, location, management, compensation plans, company policies. I know this may seem like a lot of work, but it could save you a lot of heart ache in the long run.

What is your initial reaction when you enter the site? Does it appear authentic? Is it organized with a lot of helpful information? If so you are on the right track.

What is there standings with the Better Business Bureau? Do they have any complaints against them? if so what are they? Where they taken care of? If so how, and how long did it take them to respond? How did they respond?

Next check there physical address and phone number. Is that the correct address? Is the number they give working and does it connect to the business? Can you talk to a person? If you get an answer machine will they return your call? If so how long does it take? A good business should return your call promptly, withing 24 hours.

How long has the company been in business? Are they financially stable?I would choose one that is well established and has been in business at least two years. Statistically a majority of businesses don't make it 2 years and fewer over 5.

Who is running the company? How much experience do they have? How is their past record? Has there been any complaints against them? Also check business spending. Do they spend a lot on unwarranted expenses? If so these expenditures could be taking money away from you.

Does the site require a membership fee,inventory or other upfront charges? If so how much?

Does the company have a refund policy and if so what is it? How are they about the refund policy. Do they stand true to their word or do they cause unnecessary hardship?

Check the companies mission statement, policies, and compensation plan. How long is the policy and procedures? Be cautious of long policy and procedure manuals. Is there anything in the policy and procedures that upsets you? Is there things you don't understand? If so you should as a lot of questions. How is the compensation plan set up? In other words how many people would you need to make your dream income? Is this feasible? Be sure to ask a lot of questions to ensure everything is on the up and up.

Lastly what assistance do they give you for free?Do they offer free training and support? Will you have a mentor to help train you? Do they offer you a web site or do you have to build your own at your own expense? Generally a good legitimate business will offer free training free mentoring and your own web site. They should also offer you tools like a learning center, seminars, and a back office to help get your business off the ground.

If

The business has poor standings with the BBB, has complaints against them.

The address or phone number is incorrect.

The compensation plan is poor,

The the policy wording has you concerned

You become suspicious about your finding, or there actions run as fast as you can. What you have is probably a scam.

If

all of these checks out well you probably have found a legitimate business. I still would use caution when proceeding, ask a lot of questions, including hidden charges and cancellation policies.

Take care everyone. Be sure to come back soon. because I'm  adding new articles all the time.
