Duct Tape Marketing

Many people have asked me what forms of traffic are illegal in the eyes of google adsense. Some have said that they felt they were using totally legitimate methods to attract visitors to their pages only to receive the dreaded "adsense wrist slap email". Something like "It has come to out attention that ads on your site are being clicked by visitors using non-approved techniques…If this continues we will be forced to discontinue…etc. I think you get the message.

So you want to be an internet marketer / affiliate marketer and are totally confused by all the possibilities available? You need to be like the sea captain in a storm, who regardless of the wind, the rain, the waves buckling the masts and the hysteric fear of his crew, keeps one eye on the compass and both hands firmly on the wheel as he guides all that is important to him through the turmoil to safety.

Wading through the abundance of apparent online opportunities can be both an exciting and frightening experience for the novice internet marketer. Many jump headlong into the current and are carried away by the hype and blurb of every bonus filled page promising instant wealth and eternal happiness only to quickly realize that they have “yet again” been parted from their hard earned dollars.
