Okay everyone should know this already but I’m going to bring it up for everyone anyway especially because it seems I need to hear it the most sometimes. Stay away from the tendency to participate in Jerk marketing, even if you are just trying to tell the truth, point people in the right direction, and help them.

So what do I mean by “Jerk Marketing” I mean the tendency to point out the flaws of specific businesses, marketers, strategies, or individuals when carrying out marketing to promote ourselves, our products, our companies, our training and information.

Look I am an advocate for marketers in this industry, especially people who are semi-new or who are just coming into the industry for the first time. I want everyone to have absolutely the best experience and success possible.

This isn’t my first cruise, I’m not fresh off the boat, and my eyes are wide open to things that happen in this industry. I feel a personal responsibility and devotion to address certain facts and circumstances of the industry so people will have the greatest impact creating the success they desire. I don’t pretend not to see the flaws, the blemishes, and pitfalls, instead I try and steer people clear of them.

I like to give what I feel is a fair picture of things even if it steps on the toes of others who don’t appreciate me for it. Too much of this industry is built around hype and just recruiting as many people as possible into the industry. When those people drop out of their teams, they just recruit more people and the cycle continues. Unfortunately, some people build their careers on this and little more. That in my opinion is a scam.

You see, what often happens is people get sold on unreasonable expectations and ideas about what it is going to take to succeed, how long it will take to get there, and how much work is involved. Marketers and companies stretch the truth so to speak, or accentuate certain ideas about how things can work and neglect to mention other parts that may not be so perfect.

Some marketers have become famous for these recruiting tactics and it ends up burning a lot of people and creating negative numbers for the industry, bad feelings between people, attitudes of mistrust, and the wrong type of ideas about this otherwise fantastic business.

It pisses me off is what I am trying to say.

So it is hard sometimes for me to keep it in check even when I am trying to give a good and what I believe is a fair assessment of an opportunity, business, system, etc. I want the best for the individual marketer not some corporate entity, system, or industry leader. I guess I’ve always been a bit of a trouble maker that way perhaps. Sometimes I guess I take it a little too far and I come across as a “Jerk Marketer” even if it wasn’t my intention.

Okay maybe I was just a little bit…

So, my intentions were good and based in love and on the intention to help marketers in the industry to achieve success, abundance, and true freedom in life. I’m passionate about that and it blinded me a little, and corrupted my better judgment and I ended up promoting a piece I should have been more considerate, careful, and cautious with. It wasn’t my intention to create content anyone felt negative about or that it came across as jerk marketing.

After receiving a copy of a legal complaint made to my web host and a request to remove the content in 48hrs or have it blocked, I had to re-evaluate the content more carefully. When I did I could see their point and removed not only my review but also a top rated video as well.

My Point… Be careful what you are putting out there even if your intentions are good. It is easy to get carried away if you are passionate about your company, your cause, your mission in life, etc. and inadvertently step on the toes of others when you didn’t intend to.

It probably won’t matter all that much if you’re buried 5 to 10 pages deep in the search engine results, but it’s a whole lot different when you’re on the front page of Google and the company big wigs are paying attention to what you’re up to because you are outranking all their reps.

So be extra careful in your marketing to be positive and inspiring if you can be and stay away from Jerk marketing. You don’t want to have to remove the content you worked so hard to create, optimize, backlink, bookmark, etc. and push to get on the front page of Google only to have it blacklisted.

Lesson learned…

If you enjoyed this post then why not share it, like it, or bookmark it for others now, thanks.

Tag and Ping,Social Bookmarking, etc the positive effects of social bookmarking for MLM blog success and  for other web sites are outstanding. Social bookmarking can introduce the sites that you own or you like to others with the right targeted interests and tastes,it can drive traffic to your site, and create valuable backlinks to your content like flies swarm to stink.

What is Tag and Ping:

Basically it is a powerful strategy employing bookmarking to acquire traffic and backlinks to your site. And so naturally to understand this strategy you first have to have a working knowledge of what bookmarking is.

Bookmarking is:

• Bookmarking is the collective act of sharing links (aka tags) and resources by the internet community.
• Social Bookmarking sites include Technorati, Furl, Deli.icio.us, Flickr, and 100’s more.

1. Users are controlling the flow of traffic and backlinks more and more through the use of these sites and their applications.
2. Social Bookmarking in general has a viral traffic generating effect.

Example:

For instance if you were to go and register for a Del.icio.us account you would have access to your own page where you can store bookmarks (your links) to your favorite internet sites and resources. What’s interesting to note, is when you do this this bookmark also get syndicated (it gets posted elsewhere as well). It will appear on one of Del.icio.us’ tag pages.

All other Del.icio.us users who see this tag page may then check out your links and decide whether they want to add it to their pages which will increase the popularity of that specific bookmark causing it to rank and post higher.

The higher it ranks in popularity the greater the chance others will see, use, and adapt this bookmark as their own. Such is the viral nature of bookmarks. As long as your content that you are linking to is bookmark worthy, your links should increase in popularity in a viral fashion. Your MLM blog traffic goes through the roof as a result.

Tags are:

Tags… (once again we are using the Del.icio.us site as our example) are really nothing more than a keyword you assign to the link. It is a way to organize your links and keep track of them.

For example if you had links about gardening and links about cooking you could organize all your gardening links by assigning them the tag “gardening” and your cooking links the tag “cooking” all your links for each subject would be organized and found under the accompanying tag name. So if you clicked the tag “cooking” in your account then all the links that have to do with cooking come up. It’s pretty simple really.

Tag and Ping with your Blog:

With your WordPress Blog you will create tags for your posts. A tag is really nothing more than a specially formatted link that you place in your blog. After you tag your posts and post them on your blog you want to ping the social bookmark sites.

A ping is basically a short instruction that is sent out from your blog and tells a site such as a search engine or a social bookmark index site like Technorati, Icerocket, etc. to come to your site and check out your content crawl through your site find the tags index them and update their sites. In other word a computer spiders you site finds your tags and content and then updates the tag pages on the site for their users to see and use.

It’s another instant back link from an authority site of valued popularity ranking. Because these bookmarking sites are so popular and because they offer such excellent user data about sites, keywords, tags, and their popularity, the big search engines regularly spider these social bookmark sites for data. When they do they find links to your sites and follow them. Are you starting to see the power here?

Setting up Your Ping List:

To set up a WordPress ping list, go to “Settings”, and then click “Writing.” Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see an “Update Services” box that will allow you to add your ping list. You will want to add all of the social bookmark sites that accept and that crawl blog posts.

Setting up Tag and Ping:

Do some keyword research or even some tag research on some of the social bookmark sites and find words about your website pages and contents that will make for good tagging and pinging and gain you the greatest MLM Blog success.

This is how to tag and ping in WordPress:

1. Create your content.

 2. Add relevant “tags” at the end of your blog post with simple tags.

 3. Publish your blog post.

 4. Ping social bookmarking sites. Your blogs ping list does this automatically or you can use www.pingdevice.com
