The Top 3 Stupidest Marketing Methods. (Are YOU using them?)
By Terah Logan

1.FFA Pages:
The only people who benefit from FFA pages are the owners. Think about it,The Top 3 Stupidest Marketing Methods. (Are You Using Them?) Articles you give your email address to submit your link to a FFA link site in hopes someone will see your link and click on it. When was the last time you stopped at a FFA link site and browsed through the links looking for something specific? Not to mention your email has been given (remember your gave your email when you submitted your link) to a FFA link network, with thousands of owners, and you will now be bombarded with emails from FFA owners. In this scenario who wins? I hope your not thinking you did.

2.Automatic Hit Exchanges:
So you find a hit exchange that does not require you to click a special link to continue to the next site and thus earning you a credit. This is the Auto Hit Exchange and you think "WOW, I can rack up a million hits in no time, I will leave this running while I sleep!". Guess who else is thinking the same thing…. Every other member of the auto hit exchange. So who sees your site? Probably no one at all. And it’s even more amazing these autohit sites offer credits you can buy! You may as well set fire to your money.

3.Purchasing 1 Million Emails for $9.95
Your checking out email marketing and you discover a site that is selling 1 million (or a billion) emails for a ridiculously cheap price. The unknowing marketer will jump with joy and make the purchase on complete impulse saying “One million (or billion) emails for less then I spend on lunch!”. So the unsuspecting Marketer gets their emails, listed in some kind of text documment and stares, “Now what do I do with them?”. How will the marketer send these emails? You need bulk email software and/or a bulk email server which can run hundreds of dollars. Even if the marketer can figure a way to send them out, it’s probably a list made up of ‘harvested’ emails and your e-business is shut down because of SPAM. You always get what you pay for and this is no different!
