Have you heard this one lately? Learn SEO in 5 Easy Steps, or Easy Traffic tips, and my favorite one yet Get millions to see your site in minutes flat. I laugh every time I read these ads, yet I feel bad for those who get sucked into the hype.

So right here right now I am going to expose some great red flags to look for when trying to market your product on line so you do not get scammed again. Take it from the been scammed queen. Been there, Done that, Bought the freaking T-shirt.

First off, in order to get millions to see your website in minutes it is Not Free. You most likely need thousands of dollars to make this happen. Second If someone tells you SEO can be done in 5 easy steps, or in 5 minutes...Beware! SEO and Marketing is not easy, this takes time. You get what you pay for rings true every time. But there is no need to pay through the nose.

For the novice I never suggest buying into a program with a monthly payment, the initial program appears pretty, and the hype is catchy to the point of frenzy at times, but you must understand these programs are written by scores of people who have learned how to grab your attention from the right while opening your wallet from the left. And you never see it coming.

Now you have bought a program or two, and you begin to switch between the programs trying everything as fast as you can to get valuable information. Then you notice one program is better than the other program, so you focus on that purchased program while the other is slowly forgotten. Well guess what else is slowly forgotten? You still have payments coming out of your account from the last purchase.

Nine times out of ten the forgotten program will cost you more than trip to Hawaii if you do not cancel the recurring payments as soon as possible. Here is a very valuable tip. When you begin marketing get a small recognizable tablet write in this journal every time you purchase a program from these SEO Guru's. First write the date, the name of the program, and the amount of the initial purchase, next to that write if it is a onetime payment or a recurring payment.

The magic tablet will prevent you from later repurchasing the same program later when the marketers reword the content to look even better. Web 20 is not all the same, many different programs are a part of web 2.0 so look first to see what you are getting. Eventually you will find one with great information, and the rest will not matter anymore. Be loyal to the one that yields you the best information. Chances are they will later provide you with even better strategies down the road.

Tip Number 2, Look for the humble writer, Not the hype. The hype is just a distraction to get your money. Take it from the woman with the empty wallet more times than I want to count.

Tip number 3, Look for programs that offer FREE information first, this way you get some great free stuff first, and if the content is valuable to you, chances are the program they are selling is worth way more than advertised and will provide you with loads of valuable information.

Tip Number 4, Try not to purchase a program that cost more than a trip to Wal-mart for necessities. Make them earn their money. Do not just give it away. You earned your money now make it count.

Tip number 5, open a simple Pay-Pal account. DO not order through your credit card only it is harder to cancel a crappy program and takes longer. With a pay pal account you simply press history, then find the program you just bought and press details, scroll down and press Cancel this program.

Tip number 6, Keep a small folder and print copies of your receipts, alphabetize them, it takes oh maybe 10 seconds to do each time, but will save you hours of searching for a cancellation or a refund number. In your receipt this phone number or cancellation website is valuable when you think you have been scammed out of your money by a plagiarizer who has just stolen ideas from someone else. I have wasted many hours searching the web looking for cancellation numbers only to come up empty.

Keeping a copy of the receipt will give you the order number and the person on the other end of the phone will ask for it, believe you me. If you do not have this number they will tell you to find it and call back. This is a scam! They know the purchase order number. They are hoping your purchase will go over the trail period and you will get charged the full amount for the product with no refund available once this time has passed.

Which brings me to my final tip and most important. When purchasing a program, get the onetime payment! You now have no further obligation. Keep it simple. When marketers keep offering you more and more this is a ploy to confuse you.

Check out the initial program first. Why order more and more in the beginning when you may not even like the initial program to begin with. Now you just have more to cancel. This is a waist of your valuable time and you are no closer to promoting your product than you were in the first place. And you have a headache to boot. There is your FREE gift!
