The Dark Side of Marketing: Marketing-Driven Nonsense

 

The question remains: what does it help using the investment to lure people who are interested in feminism to my book?  I might get many people who are not interest in masculinity and certainly not the way it is described in the book.

 

There is a quite simplified marketing effort described in self-help books and on the www sites of companies that make money by advertising for you.

Increase traffic for your Website

There are a number of publications of how to increase traffic:

 

Connect your Website

Additional websites with high traffic increases the chances to generate hits on searches. Independent from pays promotion, for most search engines three factors determine the search:

·       the number of hits on a specific page

·       the connectedness of this page (number of links to this page)

·       the number of hits these connected pages receive.

 

List your Website

There are a number of search engines with which you can register your website.

·       This can be for free and supports or accelerates the automatic indexing initiated by the search engine.

·       Some charge for your listing.

·       Other companies generate high traffic and sell you the opportunity to be linked to them and hereby profit from their traffic.

 

Advertise with Web-based Media

Remember Ezine?

Web feed

 

A web feed is a data format – usually XML – that allows for frequent updates.

 

Content providers publish a feed link to their web feet on their www site.

 

Users can subscribe with an aggregator program.

 

This aggregator program is a newsreader of feed reader.

 

Aggregators can be programmed to check the www periodically on selected topics form selected content providers.

 

 

Affiliate Marketing

Having created an effective web representation, I award an affiliate for each customer or for each visitor of my website.

 

The affiliate does the marketing that I award by sharing profits.
