SpiderWeb Marketing - an Unbiased Review of SpiderWeb Marketing
About a minute after you start searching for an online business, you begin clicking every link that comes up and start heading down every bunny trail that you find. Sooner or later in your search, you will find SpiderWeb Marketing. Should you see where the trail leads, or pass and try another route?
The first thing you will notice about SpiderWeb is that it is free. This can be good news and bad news. That fact alone means it will draw tons of lookers, but it also means some business builder may take a peek at it as a source of added income.
I went through the SpiderWeb system as a producer looking to add to an existing Internet income. I found the process and tutorials very easy to use and set up. For each affiliate program– 22 as of this writing– there is a video that walks you through the process. Most of the affiliate programs are free, but a few are paid programs. You gather the ones you want to use, and pass on the others. For the programs you pass on, your upline’s affiliate link will be credited if someone elects that program.
Two of the programs they suggest for generating traffic are the social networking sites Yuwie and Direct Matches. You are asked some questions about yourself and even gives you some cut and paste Shout Page copy. SpiderWeb even produces an automated blog posting tool that you can set on autopilot and watch the blogs magically appear on your page. Sounds great so far, right?
Not so fast. After signing up, I went to Direct Matches to see how I had done. I decided to search for people looking for business associates. They come up ten to a page. In the seven pages I viewed (70 profiles), there were 59 Spiders, and two pages scored ten out of ten. Amazingly, 37 of them had “been involved in internet marketing for 10 years.” You get basically the same results if you search blogs or groups, and similar results on Yuwie.
So, is the SpiderWeb system good for most people? I would say yes for “some” and no for “most.” Yes for the fact that it provide instructions on how to get involved in 22 affiliate programs. That might have taken you days to do on your own. It gets a no for the fact that their marketing strategies and advertising point to “SpiderWeb,” and not to your own business. I suggest you give it a pass.
