Myths - What Doesn't Work Online

I started online in 1996. The following is a list of website resources I have tried that in my opinion are a complete waste of time and in some cases my hard earned cash.

Google Adwords - PPC (Pay Per Click) and how to fill the Google coffers

Google PageRank - The biggest scam of the century

Alexa rankings - Complete waste of space

Google Checkout - Don't bother

Be A Magpie - Supposedly make money by tweeting to your Twitter account. Rubbishy affiliate links giving pathetic percentages of actual sales. Don't waste your time. Website if you really want to waste your time

Twittad - Advertising on your Twitter profile. Forget it, they don't have any advertisers. Website if you really want to waste your time

twtAd - Supposedly make money by tweeting to your Twitter account. Crap. They don't have any advertisers. Don't waste your time. Website if you really want to waste your time

Good luck, Simon Templer
