Finding The Proper Perspective On Online Marketing Mistakes

By Dan Vlad


Usually it's beginners to the field of Internet Marketing who flub up and then think that the entire world is going to crumble to pieces. Once in a great while this may be true, but for the most part it is about getting more experience for yourself. Things have a way of falling into place, at least in terms of your perspective, once you've been knocked down a few times. Whatever is happening can be assessed and then taken care of. It's true that sometimes some damage control is needed, but that's fine. It's just taking care of business each day and rolling with whatever comes down the pike. Keep reading to learn how to prevent some major mistakes from happening.

Yes, there are still some people who insist on trying to game the SEO game, and they always end up starting over. One of the most common mistakes and poor judgment calls has to do with SEO and backlinks. Forget about using articles and article directories as a source for backlinks or any SEO benefits. Those days are long gone and have been for two years, at least. Unfortunately most newbies insist that this is the name of the game because they are using completely old information. This isn't the responsibility of the article directories, there are plenty of other sources that aren't credible out there. You need to keep up to date on what has been changing.

Monitoring your visitors will give you a deeper glimpse into where problems exist. Once you get your tracking in place, then you should start learning about A/B split testing. Just be aware that many affiliate products out there have been over-marketed and are useless. When you talk about any product, you have to look at how long it has been on the market. Now that you have some idea of this, then you know why you have to do thorough research on your products. Yes, all this drags out the process a little bit but that is all right since it may save you. If you do pick the wrong product, then it is pretty simple and you won't much if any money. Obviously the smart thing is to keep gaining knowledge because that is what will help you prevent mistakes.

The combination of marketing lies and individual traits such as being impatient are a deadly pair. Beware of being blinded by your desire to have money and have it yesterday. The way they most often do it is by skipping the wining and dining and moving to the hard sell too fast. I have seen this a million times in email marketing, especially, and it's a recipe for fast failure. You have to realize that people want something with quality in it. What you have to do is understand how to presell and build trust and value.

Naturally, nobody wants to ever make costly mistakes with their internet marketing business. But you will and all people still do at one time or another. So just do the best you can and use some common sense. When you are happy working on your IM business, then that is good enough and will carry you through.
