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?
You will notice right off that the SpiderWeb system is free. This is both good and bad news. The fact that it is free means it will draw those looking to get rich quick without doing any work, who will do exactly zero after they sign up, but it also means some heavy hitter may consider it as another income stream.
I joined SpiderWeb looking to add to another income stream. The tutorials are easy to set up and use. There is a video that walks you through the signing up process for each affiliate program (all 22 of them). Most all of the programs are free, but a few require money to start. You can pick and choose the ones you want to join. You sign up for those, and pass on the others. Later, if someone in your downline elects a program you don’t subscribe to, the system will default to your upline’s affiliate number.
Two of the 22 programs they suggest for finding traffic are Yuwie and Direct Matches, which are social networking sites. SpiderWeb asks you some questions about yourself and even offers some Shout Page copy you can cut and paste. SpiderWeb even has an option to produce an automated blog. The posting tool can be set on autopilot and the blogs automatically appear on your page. Sounds great so far, eh?
Oops. I went to Direct Matches after signing up, just to see what I had done. I did a search for people looking for business associates which is what SpiderWeb suggested I use. The results come up ten to a page. I viewed seven pages,(70 profiles), and found 59 Spiders. Two pages had ten out of ten. To my amazement, 37 of them had “been involved in Internet marketing for 10 years” (including me.) Basically the same numbers come up if you search groups or blogs, and similar results appear 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.
