SpiderWeb Marketing - an Unbiased Review
July 18, 2008
Very soon after you start searching for the perfect Internet based business, you click every banner or link that you can find, and run down every bunny trail they lead to. Inevitably, sooner or later, you will find SpiderWeb Marketing. What to do, what to do. Follow the bunny trail, or find another offer?
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 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 22 (at this time) programs they suggest for driving traffic are Direct Matches and Yuwie, two popular social networking sites. SpiderWeb prompts you for some information about yourself and even has some Shout Page copy you can cut and paste. SpiderWeb also has an option to produce an automated blog. You set the posting tool on autopilot and the blogs magically appear on your page. Sounds great so far, huh?
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 and no. Yes for the fact that they provide you with instructions on how to sign up for 22 affiliate programs that might have taken you days to find, and no for the fact that their advertising and marketing strategies point to “SpiderWeb,” and not to your own business. Give it a pass, and go to something else.
