Too many internet marketing gurus?
I just had to let this one out!
I recently joined EntreCard Viral marketing program (look on a little widget in the narrow sidebar). As any other traffic exchange program it’s pretty much useless in order to bring you quality targeted visitors, but can help a little bit to generate some initial traffic.
To find some relevant sites I looked over the list of categories with numbers of blogs submitted. No surprise there – by far the largest number of blogs is listed in category “Making Money Online”. I guess John Chow and Jeremy Shoemoney should watch out – new generation is coming!
So… I visited some of those websites in case I would need to chose where I would like to have my banner displayed. Sadly enough about 95% of those sites are worthless…
Just to give you a clue one of those so called “gurus” suggest to “…write quality content for 5 websites within 3 days…” Can I have some of that good $**t he is smoking???
Than I found this line that explains a lot: “…when author is not teaching how to make money online he is playing guitar…”
One more I repeat – when choosing a niche for the new website PLEASE choose something you are interested in and competent enough to talk about. Otherwise your website will look and you sound just like one of those thousands of gurus…
