How to Keep Your Marketing From Becoming Spammy

I wrote an article a couple days ago about doing marketing without spamming. Spam is not a good idea. You might get some quick traffic but you put your reputation at risk. If you spam other bloggers, they may insult you in public. Or more often, they’ll just ignore you and never promote your stuff. If you spam social media users for votes, they can report you and your account may get banned.

I gave these 3 equations to help people understand the difference between good marketing and spam.

Promoting low quality/irrelevant content = spam

Promoting without a prior relationship = spam

Promoting with good content and networking = good marketing

Read the whole article, How To Do Marketing Without Spamming. I give reasons why good content and networking are essential to avoid spamming while promoting your site.

Also, I thought of another equation.

Overdoing your promotion = spam

You might have the best content and good business relationships. However, if you’re emailing content from the same site to the same webmasters everyday, you’ve become a spammer.

Overdoing promotion is like going to a friend’s house too often. Or visiting an acquaintance and overstaying your welcome. After a while, your friends and acquaintances get tired of you.
