Free Marketing Offer

June 26, 2007

Free has been declared one of the most powerful words in a marketers’ arsenal.

Whether or not to use “free” or not in your marketing communications is often debated.

Although I haven’t tested it yet, I believe a business could offer free dead cats and get a 1% response rate.

I received the following free website marketing analysis from a gentlemen in Sri Lanka this morning.

I would be happy to fulfill his request.

However in order to provide him with a marketing analysis of his web site, he must first have one!

Profitable Internet Marketing?

June 26, 2007

I am amazed at some of the comments and inquiries my sites receive.

Lately I have been receiving a slew of email spam for top placement in Google.

However, the following was entered by hand at marketingprinciples.com.

The irony is that the salesman who’s name and company I have changed to protect the guilty, found my site via a search engine!

“Joe Blow” sends the following:

Dear Website Owner, If I could get you five times the RELEVANT traffic at a substantially reduced cost would you be interested?

“Acme Optimizers” can place your website on top of the Natural Listings on Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Our Search Engine Optimization team delivers more top rankings than anyone else and we can prove it. We do not use “link farms” or “black hat” methods that Google and the other search engines frown upon and can use to de-list or ban your site.

The techniques are proprietary, involving some valuable closely held trade secrets. Our prices are less than half of what other companies charge.

I would be happy to send you a proposal using the top search phrases for your area of expertise. Please contact me at your convenience so I can start saving you some money.

Please do not hesitate to email or call me if you would like further information.

Sincerely,
“Joe Blow”
