Does it Have What it Takes?

I am working on a landing page for a friend of mine the help them sell 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid SUVs and I really do not like the layout well but feel like it will work well for its desired purpose and not force them to rely on search engine marketing to get leads for the vehicle.

I can assure you a little bit of search engine optimization goes a long way in finding buyers of products versus dismal referral traffic that things like pay per play could deliver with their key to page platform.  Having auto played audio instructing a surfer to perform an action is like a pop up.  To internet marketers it really is not a distraction but to the general public it is a bane versus aggressive SEO.

SEO help people looking for your product find it versus the spaghetti marketing intrusive advertising offers.

Shams Exist at all Levels Not Just Affiliate Marketing

Payperplay is probably dead as far as viability for the publishers and not there are even former members of the program that were highly supportive of it reaching out and letting the world know of all the problems they have experienced.  I really hate that this failed for some of my online friends.

On another note other shams exist in online marketing and big time players really sock it to car dealers.  I am not going to get into the details here but some use alleged education as a way to push their product thus causing car dealers to ignore other effective means of promoting their website.

One of the most ridicules things I have heard in recent times is one vendor tells dealers to not worry about SEO on their site and dealer search engine marketing provides more value.  That reeks of perversion and used as a way to encourage them to spend money on pay per click platforms for dismal traffic results versus getting higher traffic numbers from natural traffic.

More on winning on localized traffic for affiliate marketing

I set up a wordpress blog that is getting national traffic for certian search terms.  In two day in existence it has made enough to buy a dinner out.  Not bad for something that I only have to work on every now and then.  It will probably take about for hours a month to maintain now.  It will probably build very targeted traffic for terms like Bennett Chevrolet and 2009 Shelby Mustang pretty fast.

The downside to this is it may not last and require more work than I plan, but that is ok by me.  I do not have to worry about recruiting downlines or getting blamed in back rooms for destrying a membersite.  The thing with Netaudioads is it was destined for failure from the start and most of the content I published about it was probably over looked by many but ther was plenty of content about how bad an idea it was even if they had someone decent at the helm.

When you put people in charge of something that has had as many life and financial problems as the people they had running this thing coupled with the other obvouis concerns you wind up with what you got.
