Buzz Words: What to Say and What NOT to Say:

Written By: Darren Bocksnick © 2009

           

When writing website content or submitting articles for posting on the Internet, there are certain key words that should not be used, especially in the case of blogging.  Once used, these “buzz” words trigger the anti-spam filters on many websites.  Once the anti-spam filters are activated; your content is either flagged, or you are kicked off that website altogether. 

 

            Due to the plethora of scams and fictitious business offers pummeling through the Internet, many companies have stepped up their efforts to stymie this ongoing issue and have set up counter measures as a result.  Anti-spam filters, digital signatures and site authenticity protocols are just some of the measures used by websites to counter the spam problem. 

 

            So, if you’re having trouble marketing or promoting a legitimate business, it may be that you’ve overstepped the “buzz” word boundaries in your presentation.  Cleaning up your content and making sure the angle of your approach is presented rather than promoted is the accepted norm and usually means the difference between having your content approved and posted or having it flagged and pulled.

           

Here are some of the known “buzz” words that will trigger the anti-spam radars to hone in on your “signal” and respond accordingly with the appropriate counter measures.  Uh, that means, they take you OUT!

            In closing, in the battlefield of business, your words and vocabulary are some of the best “weapons” in your arsenal.  They can place you in a favorable position and build up your reputation.  Likewise, the absence of articulation and well-appointed words can be detrimental and damaging to your career or business, just as equally.   

            When marketing your business on the Internet, this truth especially holds sway.  The last thing you want is to be relegated to that of a scammer.  Instead, let your submitted content emanate with inspiration.  To that end, convey your words so that they paint a positive, upbeat picture about your business and ultimately, about your character!

It is sad that we have come to this. I guess we have the spammers to blame for this.

Darn those useless spammers. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody crashed their computers?

You are right, it is sad. It's almost as bad as political correctness; well, not as bad as that. Still, even though spammers are getting more clever about their tactics, fortunately for the rest of us- they are all pretty dumb. To substantiate what I'm saying, just post an ad on www.craigslist.com and see how many stupid people try to scam you with: "I have an account with Fed Ex and I just need you to send the item using my account and I'll give you a money order" or something to that effect. Craigslist has all but become the Internet scam capital of the known, connected world. The nice thing is, tech savvy people with a bit of business sense are on to them and keep them at bay through reporting their activities. The bad thing is, there are still many people out there (grandma for example just got her first computer to "stay in touch with the grandkids") that are not so tech savvy. To them, we've got to get the word out. Thanks for your comments.
