Everybody knows that the most important part of promoting any business online is advertising. It doesn’t matter if you have the greatest invention since sliced bread. If nobody knows it exists, your chances of making a sale are slim to none on a good day. Well, as critical as advertising is, there are some advertising blunders that are so horrible that most people can’t even imagine making them. And it has nothing to do with the type of advertising you use. This article is going to cover the three biggest blunders and is going to save the worst one for last. When you read it, you won’t believe people actually do this.

The third worst advertising blunder is not having your web site ready when you send your ads out. Don’t laugh. I’ve seen people who will send out this absolutely killer ad, which is rare with all the hacks out there, and then, when I finally get down to the end of the ad and attempt to visit the site, I get greeted by a great big “under construction” sign. Can somebody please tell me why you would even bother sending out the ad? At least put an opt in box to capture leads if you’re going to do that. No, these idiots send out ads for a site that isn’t even completed. This absolutely boggles my mind.

The second worst advertising blunder is spamming. I don’t care what the professional spammers tell you, that you won’t get caught, that even if you do there’s nothing they can do to you and so on. Spamming is the single most worst thing that anybody can do to destroy their business. Ultimately, you will get a reputation as a spammer and nobody is going to take your seriously. You’ll be moving on from one pen name to the next, leaving a wake of destruction behind you. For some, it’s a way of life. But if you want to have any respectability on the Internet, don’t spam.

The absolute worst blunder that I have ever seen made in the history of Internet marketing, and I still can’t believe people do this, is when they send out this incredible email ad that is obviously professionally written, and when you get down to the bottom of the ad to check out this amazing offer, there’s not link. Not a one. You can scan that email from top to bottom and it won’t matter. You won’t find it. Don’t people proofread their emails before they send them to at least make sure that they included a link to their site? This blunder literally boggles my mind.

Of course there are other blunders besides these, but these three are definitely at the top of my list.

In a word, or should I say three words, don’t do them.

To YOUR Success,
