Can a Guru Match Wits with the Mighty Yahoo! Search Marketing Machine?
Who would have the best read on which day of the week to send your e-mail offers to get the best results: Yahoo! Search Marketing or an Internet Marketing Guru? One analyst knows the recommendations of both, has tried both, has noted the results, and says this: I will go with the guru in this case, and skip the Yahoo! brain trust.
Shopping Online = Caveat Emptor (Latin for Let the Buyer Beware)
Internet Marketers shopping online are presented with a problem because they cannot examine the goods before they commit to buying. This fact of purchasing works in the seller's best interest, and the seller, not the buyer, will do anything to keep it that way, including, but not limited to, exaggerating claims, playing upon your emotions, pressuring you to make buying decisions, and being disingenuous in an attempt to relieve you of your money.
Many "Free" Offers Online Can Scare Newcomers to the Internet
Can a guru help an Internet Marketing newcomer too much? Maybe. The guru is not giving you a free web site, hosting and all of the other amenities because he is feeling rich. He is giving you all of this because he can stuff his pockets 100 or 1,000 times more with affiliate web sites than without them. It is called leveraging your time and money, his (the guru's), not yours, he is bleeding you dry.
Mailing Lists: If You Must Err, Then Err on the Side of Caution
Almost any recognized Internet Marketing guru making you an offer today will mention somewhere in his sales pitch that a mailing list is really important, however, his primary objective is to get you to buy whatever he is selling. Competition is stiff in acquiring names, and some Internet Marketers have less resourcs than others, resulting in some pitches to sign up without being given any information on which to make an intelligent decision.
Is There a Better Way to Serve Newcomers Who Need Traffic?
Newcomers to Internet Marketing may not be faced with a more daunting task than trying to figure out search engine rankings. There seems to be no shortage of sellers who spend a great deal of time and effort trying to convince newcomers that their particular software program is the answer. Should you simply bite on the sales page bait because it is there, or figure out a different way to effectively compete with the gurus?
Forced Matrix Opportunities: A Slippery World of Sinkholes - Part 1
The idea has been around since we first ditched the barter system for a monetary system of coinage. You could create a system of growing money by making entrance to the system affordable, rewarding people for bringing others into the system, and using leverage to build volume and profit. It is called a forced matrix. An analysis of one offering would result in 8.5 billion people being involved after 33 days. Does this make a lick of sense?
It Is Internet Marketing Doublespeak: The Offer Is Free (But It Is Not Free)
Almost any Internet Marketer can open his or her e-mail tomorrow and read a popular formula for writing a sales pitch repeated in 100 different advertisements for another opportunity to provide a product, service, or attend a seminar. You will be introduced to Internet Marketing Doublespeak: The Offer Is Free (But It Is Not Free). The pitch will be in English, the language will be in doublespeak.
In America, We Are Really Silly About Our Instant Gratification
When it comes to Internet Marketing offers, we are obsessed with instant gratification. Newcomers hang on every word of a sales page offering, hoping that this opportunity, among all of the other opportunities they have tried, will be the one that works. Alas, it usually does not work for them. Learn how to separate the good opportunities from the bad by following Mark Twain's advice: "I never let schooling interfere with my education."

Internet Marketing Advertising Needs a Police Patrol
You will always know a leader when you see one. Leaders, you see, announce themselves, just as naturally as they step forward the instant they perceive that something should be done in a certain situation when nothing is being done. So it is with Internet Marketing advertising today, it is, in a word, a "mess" waiting to be cleaned up, so an Internet Police Patrol may be in order.
Financial Predators: Vermin, Rodents and Other Insect Pests
While there are predators all around us, we generally do not think of our financial providers as predators. When Ed Bagley receives a postcard in the mail advertising a $5,000 loan you can receive tomorrow with only your signature as collateral, he digs a little deeper, uncovering the source of the loan and the fine print terms of the loan. What he discovers is shocking, and fair game for exposure so that unwitting borrowers know the score.
