Seihaku’s Blogmarketing Bible

I just couldn’t stand it after reading an article named “Blog Utilization in Marketing”.

(abridged…)
First, find a site like google or yahoo where you can find a blog that will provide a niche market. It is more important to find a market that is related to the product or service you offer. Because the customers in these market are the people who will spend hours in posting articles. discussing and reviewing about the topic of interest. If you’ve found the target, you should start posting replies. Answer the questions and post a feedback. And make sure you slightly mention about your website and the product you are trying to sell and of course, where they can find you. If you can provide useful information, target customers will be interested more and more. And through theses process, we can find a live community, full of existing customers. Making your own blog is a good way, if you like to write and can provide enough ways to provide products and services. And you must become a part of the community.

=> This approach is just like a spam mailer. You should not take a strategy in which you select a target customer and you must not mention or advertise the product you are trying to sell. They will deny your very existence and see you as an advertiser with dishonest motive.

Several corporates have already begun blogs to provide information on research, product testing results, product introduction and the release dates. You too can find information befitting your niche market by other articles or newspaper scraps. You should induce your blog visitors to leave a reply and be able to use RSS/XML. In this process, they will show you concern, and acquire a list of potential customers who won’t block you. (In oder to easily product a target customer traffic, look for the top 55 blog/RSS directory listing.)

=> Things are getting more absurd. The moment you start a blog posting product information with a motive, no customers are going to visit and no replies or RSS/XML will work. Consequently, you can’t make the customers come with any methods.

Firstly, potential customers, seeing your postings on RSS or other blogs, will visit your blog. Their curiosity will grow bigger as they read and finally reach your main page thus clicking on the page, demanding more information. They will be included in the automatic mailing list by submitting their name and email address then naturally be redirected to main page, sales letter or pages with other alternatives.

=> Above is all realistically impossible to utter dismay. A customer will not subscribe to a advertising blog’s RSS and will not even visit an advertising blog such as yours. And even if they do so unexpectedly, they will simply exit with displeasure. It is all garbage to say ‘then natually be redirected…” and so on.

Secondly, they can visit your web site through another channel (paid information, other postings on the search engine results, and through recommendations.) if so, by putting your name and email in the personal reference page, they are automatically added to the automatic senders mailing list and from there you are redirected to a main site with sales letter and general information. They can leisurely read your posting to get to know you better as they move to the blog. Potential customers can email you or even give you ideas. Or they can subscribe to RSS.

=> Well, this is just impossible.

What is the key to this story? Eventually the more contact points you have, in more minds of people you will be remembered. And that will make you a specialist. Potential buyers who sign to be a member providing you with personal information will start receive emails from you and your web site will be directed to a blog where it’s continuously updated. That way, you will induce them to visit your site continuously and if they like your blog contents, they will subscribe to RSS to check your new postings on a periodical bases. Or they can just view your whole posting on a RSS reader. This means you made a lifetime customer whom you can contact forever. (abridged…)

=> Then have you, yourself, ever connected to a spam mailer’s link or homepage where there’s most contact points? If they are connected by being tricked rather than of their own efforts, you need to know that they will treat you like a garbage advertiser. People aren’t dumb enough to recognize a garbage advertiser as a specialist. And most searchable blog marketing contents on the Internet are of this level. No matter how hard I think, I bet there’s a lot of brave blog marketers out there, seeing how they can post such brave postings…

Blog marketing can never succeed with such approach and must not. The difference between contents and advertising becomes more strict and it’s a basic reaction of a blogger to delete any commercial replies. I just don’t understand how they can lead RSS by using advertising blogs.
