For those who are trying make it as
businessmen on the Internet, they
must first be aware of all the
Internet marketing scams that
promise help in getting your
business out there to the consumers
who are looking for the product or
service that you are offering. One
example of this is the companies who
promise to get your website on
hundreds of search engines so that
if someone is looking for what your
business has to offer they will find
you. To begin with, there are really
only a handful of primary search
engines which manage over ninety
percent of the searches that take
place. Their offer to get you on
more than this handful is not worth
the effort. These services also
claim they will put your website on
the search engines every few weeks
to keep you near the top. But, once
you have been submitted that is all
you need. Some search engines will
even drop your website if you keep
putting your name on.
Other internet scams include
promising to make your website a top
ten choice on Google. They might
actually accomplish this for you but
not necessarily with the key word
that will be searched and bring the
consumer to your website. If you do
not choose the keyword what would be
the point of letting someone do
this? Be careful of services that
offer to send your advertising email
to thousands of opt-in subscribers.
Opt-in means that these are people
have chosen to receive emails on
certain topics. This is spamming and
can get you into legal trouble if
you follow through with this idea.
Companies that promise to get your
website listed on a thousand
directories are just one more
example of those practicing internet
marketing scams. They promise to get
your name out but you do not get any
input into where or what type of
directories they are listing your
company on. Often these companies
send in your website to unrelated
directories or to ones where the
links are delivered automatically so
these can be worse for you than if
you were not on any directories. If
you are doing business on the
internet be careful to protect
yourself from scams.
