BEWARE OF: "Squeeze" Pages...

"Squeeze" pages, as the internet marketing gurus like to call them, are pages that you land on when you click some of the links you will find on Google, Yahoo!, and MSN search engines, respectively. You can run into a squeeze page pretty much anywhere, but these are the most common places that they pop up on as internet marketers target the search engines using backhanded Search Engine Optimizing tactics and Google Adwords.

Squeeze pages are web landing pages that offer you some kind of "free" e-book, service, etc. if you enter your e-mail adress into their site and join up for their mailing lists. But the truth is in all of this is that the information that you hand over to the site is FAR more valuable than the small, pretty much worthless e-books and 7 day help courses you usually recieve, which most of can be found easily on the popular search engines I previously mentioned with a tad bit of research.

Basically in a nut shell, once you hand over your e-mail address to these marketers in disguise, you should prepare yourself for a constant onslaught of spam in your e-mail inbox as these guys consistently push their usually shady products on you. Not to mention once you agree to sign up for their e-mail lists, you're giving them legal right to do so, and the ability to also sell your contact information to fellow marketers, creating a neverending flow of worthless information coming your way.

If there's one piece of advice that I can give you, my readers... don't fall into the trap. Whatever it is, whatever the "free bonus" they're offering you... don't do it. If a site asks you for your contact information, and it is not a HIGHLY regarded company that is doing so, move on. Your business and your hard earned cash is more deserved elsewhere to a company that exercises more mannerly business operations and more so than that, probably even offers a better product.

So long until the next time guys. And as always, remember that The Watchdog is on your side!
