    While not necessarily unethical, pop-up advertising is no longer as effective as it used to be. Most web surfers find pop-ups annoying and intrusive, and many now use pop-up blockers to avoid them. Even those who don't have blockers installed on their browsers have grown accustomed to instinctively close pop-ups and pop-unders without taking a glance at them.

    Are You a Victim Of Cyber Stalking?
    It is funny, in a sad way, that no matter what form of communication we use people can find negative uses for it and find ways to make other peoples lives hell. Now with the 'always on' world that we live in it is becoming increasingly easy for people to get to you for good and bad purposes.Maybe it is the apparent anonymity of text messages, emails and chatrooms that has fuelled the sharp increase in cyber-bullying in recent years? I mean in a face to face situation the person usually has to have some power over you, being bigger than you, being higher up in an organisation, or being in company when you are not. All those
    In this article I discuss some ineffective and/or unethical website promotion tactics. I talk about them here so that you won't waste your time and resources pursuing them.

    Spamming

    If you're like me, you're sick and tired of receiving hundreds of spam messages in your mailbox every morning, and you would not consider buying anything they had to offer, even if it's something you really wanted.

    Needless to say, spammers are not the most decent people in the world, and it comes as no surprise that many of them are also scam artists posing as eBay or PayPal to steal your credit card information. Everday inexperienced and unsuspecting internet users continue to fall prey to unscrupulous characters from the dark corners of cyberspace.

    While spamming is not a completely ineffective promotion tactic, I don't recommend it as a way to promote your site at all. Not only is spamming highly intrusive and unethical, but it could also get you into a lot of trouble. Just imagine how many people you'd have to anger to make a sale or to get a visitor to your site. The search engines will ban your site when they find out that you have been spamming. Various laws are now being made to prosecute spammers.

    Pop-up/Pop-under Traffic Schemes

    Have you seen ads offering "1,000 visitors for $9.95"?

    Consider this: many companies are willing to pay up to $10 or more for every visitor Google or Overture sends to their site. Why wouldn't they spend their $10 to get 1,000 visitors from pop-up ad brokers, instead?

    Perhaps they're smart enough to realize that the 1,000 "visitors" they would get from having their sites displayed in pop-up and pop-under windows on other sites are worth less than the one legitimate visitor Google or Overture sends them.

    You Can't Play Win-Win With A Bully Until
    When being polite and understanding gets you nowhere, you may be trying to cooperate with a bully. It simply won't work. You must start by giving him a reason to listen to you."He didn't refund my money. I've called three times and actually spoke to him once, and he agreed that I was entitled to a refund. He explained that his bookkeeper was on vacation and told me she would issue the check when she returned. He has not respond to my emails at all since then and I have sent 5 or them in the last month. I don't know what I should do now."After questioning this highly ethical, hard working professional, I learned that

    Most Profitable Adsense Web Sites: What They Do Different
    Webmasters who own some of the most profitable Adsense web sites on the net know a thing or two that the rest of us mortals do not know.How else would you explain the huge difference in Adsense earnings between two web sites with more or less the same traffic? Or to look at it from another angle, have you wondered how many of the most profitable Adsense web sites report an amazing jump in Adsense income over a very short period of time? What did they discover that made such a huge difference?The answer to this question will disappoint most. We are usually looking for one magic key that revolutionized everything. The

    Alternative Approaches to Consider When 'Networking' is Not Working
    It has long been accepted wisdom that the best way to market your business is to network yourself with others. This is especially true if your business is service related or if, in fact, you are yourself the “product” being marketed.While there is some truth to the idea that networking is a key marketing tactic, conventional wisdom places too much emphasis on networking just for the sake of networking. Instead, a better approach is to select the best networking opportunities that give you the biggest return on the time and energy you invest.Traditional networking and its limitationsTraditional network

    Mystery Shopping - Fun, Flexibility And Financial Freedom
    Ever thought about Mystery Shopping? Mystery shopping agencies throughout the world have plenty of assignments for people who don't have the life style to commit to full time employment. If you play your cards right it could be your answer to fun, flexibility and financial freedom!Mystery Shopping is a growing industry. It allows members of your community to go out and shop, then be reimbursed for their efforts while evaluating the customer service of a particular retailer. The most attractive aspect of mystery shopping is the flexibility. One is able to devote as little or as much of their time as they like in order t

    A pop-up exchange is a program that allows members to show pop-up windows linking to one another's site. As a member of the exchange, your site would display a pop-up linking to another member's site every time someone visits your site. There is usually an exchange ratio involved. A 2:1 exchange ratio means that for every two pop-ups you show on your site, your pop-up would be displayed once on someone else's site.

    Pop-up exchanges aren't especially effective for the reasons mentioned above. Furthermore, they are vulnerable to cheaters who use automated means to fraudulently inflate their credits.

    Surfing Exchanges

    Surfing exchanges are programs where you surf other people's web sites to get others to surf yours.

    In start-page exchanges you to set your home page to a special URL on which another member's site will be displayed every time you start your browser. Alternatively, you may simply bookmark the URL and receive credit every time you visit it.

    Click exchanges allow you to earn credits by clicking on other people's links. There is usually a 20- or 30-second timer that counts down the required amount of time you must spend on the site. In return your link will be exposed to other members to click on.

    Like pop-up exchanges, these schemes will get you traffic just for the sake of getting traffic-- little of it be of any use. Most people who join these programs are more interested in accumulating credits rather than looking through your site. Many run several traffic exchange programs simultaneously (in different windows) to gain credits on multiple programs rather than exploring a site that they're supposed to explore.
