SpiderWeb Marketing - an Unbiased Review of SpiderWeb Marketing
About an hour after you start looking for an Internet based business, you start clicking every banner or link that shows up and run down every bunny trail that you can find. Inevitably, you will find SpiderWeb Marketing sooner or later in your search. Should you pass and try another route, or see where the trail leads?
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 programs they suggest for generating traffic are the social networking sites Yuwie and Direct Matches. You are asked some questions about yourself and even gives you some cut and paste Shout Page copy. SpiderWeb even produces an automated blog posting tool that you can set on autopilot and watch the blogs magically appear on your page. Sounds great so far, right?
Not so fast, my friend. I went to Direct Matches right after signing up, just to see how the system worked. I searched for people "looking for business associates," which is what SpiderWeb had me do. The results come up ten to a page. I looked at 70 profiles (seven full pages), and of the 70, there were 59 Spiders. Two pages scored a perfect ten out of ten. To my amazement, 37 of the 70 had "been involved in Internet marketing for 10 years" (including me.) What a coincidence. Some of them were in grade school ten years ago. I got pretty much the same numbers searching groups or blogs, both on Direct Matches and on Yuwie.
Is the SpiderWeb marketing system good for some people, or most people? I would say yes for "some" and no for "most." It gets a yes because it provides detailed instructions to get signed up for 22 affiliate programs. That alone might have taken you days to do on your own. It gets a big no for the fact that their advertising and marketing strategies point to SpiderWeb and Kimball Roundy more than they point to you. I'd give it a pass.
