Ethical Issues Faced By Internet Marketing Companies

In today’s digital based business environment, ethics are important in establishing the reputation of the company. And for an internet marketing company working in an area that is often criticised for its lack of ethics, it is ever more important to get right when working on behalf of clients.

With immoral and illegitimate Internet marketing schemes operating and deceitful tactics being used, marketers must take extra caution when promoting their clients and their products and services on the World Wide Web and ensure they can prove themselves as an agency to be legit among an industry riddled with scams. Here are some of the main ethical issues faced by internet marketers:

Who Can Be Trusted?

Because internet marketing is full of scams and people out to gain sensitive information, it is important that you have clear guidelines and form an agreement with the client to ensure you are both comfortable and trust in each other.

You will after all be in charge of the brand’s online reputation, a big task to be reliant on for. You will then need to ensure you uphold your end of the agreement and carefully gauge any content you put out there on behalf of your client.

A Little Matter of Morals

If you are handling organic and paid internet marketing for a client, as well as maintaining and updating content on the client’s website, you need to consider the privacy and legal implications that go with it.

What you publish for the client reflects on how they are viewed by the rest of the world, and although you do the posting, if they were to be found to have anything illegal or immoral on their website, such as copyrighted images that they do not have permission to use, then it would be the client who it reflects badly on and who would suffer the consequences.

This goes back to the ethical issue of trust, as they are trusting you to uphold the law and make wise moral decisions on their behalf.

Professionalism and Reputation

Because the internet and tools within it such as social media and blogs are used for both personal and online marketing purposes, the two can very easily overlap.

An internet marketing company must consider the implications of everything they write and post online, ensuring all client information is kept separate from other clients and personal aspects of the internet to ensure the client’s reputation and your own reputation is upheld.

Once Published It Remains Forever

When you hit send on that controversial blog post or Tweet, it cannot be undone. Even if you delete the post itself, it remains in cached page archives forever and can easily be pulled up by search engines or websites that specialise in recalling old pages.

Additionally, video and movies, audio and images, any kind of multimedia in various formats will remain and be viewable, which brings about the issue of consent, privacy and safety.

Positive Google SEO Reviews, how you can get them?

You might be able to easily rank on very long and less competitive keywords using keywords and/or phrases in your content but ranking on competitive keywords as an SEO is what matters the most and that too ethically.

If you are looking forward to work with blue chip or leading companies from the country and abroad you have to show them what you have got – be it your own search engine rankings or your customers, in most customers cases, they would ideally ask, where you personally rank and ask 12 other questions which I have outlined in my previous post that can be seen here 12 Key Questions to ask your prospective Internet Marketing Agency

I have received several feedbacks from customers that have studied the above listed blog post and were sending me “Thanks” message both on my email and on my mobile number +44 (0) 790 700 4090

Anyhow, I was thinking of writing a post on how important Positive Google reviews can be for your own seo and even the most important for your customers SEO

And what you need to do in order to win positive reviews towards your service

1). Be very polite when a customer calls you

2). Answer all their questions in a polite manner

3). Return their phone calls and emails as quickly as you can

4). If a customer ask for a quote and you have made a promise, make sure you send a quote before or sharp on the time promised

5). Provide free consultancy and free help if someone has called you just for a suggestion

6). Go an extra mile to help

7). Do not yawn if someone calls you in mid-night (Be friendly)

8). If you receive an email in the mid-night and if you are still awake, try to send a “confirmation receipt” of their email and you will contact them via email or phone at so and so time

9). Please make sure your pricing and package plans are affordable for all companies, be new start-ups businesses, very small and mid-sized companies and please ensure you have something to offer within their budget range

10). If you do not receive an email in response, just send a simple friendly email asking “Just wondering if you have received a below email – And if there is something you can do – You would love to meet or beat any prices they have received.

11). Make sure they know what they are being charged for and what you would do for this price (Make sure to put the deliverables from your end and highlight it)

12). Submit weekly and monthly work reports and be sure you deliver on or before time when it comes to deadlines.

13). Ask for their concerns for the service you are providing, if it is “seo” then setup a Google analytics account and measure and share the success rate

14). If it is seo, make sure you also target few keywords or search phrases for free for a customer, keywords that would at least help them get better understand your service and receive emails, calls, online general enquires or simply few extra sales a week, this would build their trust towards your service

15). Make sure to send them hints, tips and useful strategies which they can implement with your guidelines on their own (This helps them save money, this helps them better use of their free time and this helps them learn too and market their business as well). Always give a piece of advice via email

16). Call them after a few weeks and find out if they are happy at all so far, in most cases (competitive keywords) its hard to show results to your customers but if you are also active on social media including but not limited to Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and so on, chances are you should have increased their sale if you know what you are doing, ask for their opinion, any concerns and promise to look in to it, look in to it, and implement things which you think can do better, always tell them what you are doing (maintain a close contact)

17). Be honest, straight forward, realistic and confident and do not get annoyed if they say something which you did not like (They are paying – Customer is a King), they can be stressed if they are not getting any or ROI at all on what they are spending “It’s a normal thing if they tell you, nothing seems to be working out – tell them why and be honest)

18). If there is a something to tell, e.g. rankings increase, search engine rankings decrease, share a good or bad news, They like to listen and how concerned you are with their success and failures. They want to know you are concerned about their business and you will carry out all works to make them even more successful or modify and correct your mistakes (if you have done – any)!

19). Send an Invoice on time, send a payment confirmation and Thank you email everytime you have received a payment, do not send them rude reminders, or send dozens texts to remind them about payments or emails. Your customer know they have to pay, if they are going through hard-times, be patient, they will pay you (once they have money – If they are taking too long, tell them politely that you will be stopping their work if the payment is not made between this and that date), but normally if you have a work contract signed and they know in advance their payment date, chances are, they will make a payment on agreed dates (This matters though from one customer to the other)

20). When you have ethically completed their work on time, ask them to review your service, send you a testimonial and you would love to give their friends, family, colleagues and loved ones a great discount and a special discount if they use your so and so services, and tell them how happy you are to have them as your customer.

Trust these are very little things but have a big impact on business. If a customer reviews your business on Google, and especially on Google+ now, it counts as a vote, if your service is great, chances are they will tell their success story to all their family members, colleagues, loved ones and concerns and mention you over their social networks. If you have helped them with any suggestion, chances are they will still speak about it (if your suggestion was any helpful). Customer support also has a great impact on your seo activity, If you do not know what I mean, simply ask

Keeping your seo customers is not very hard if you know what you are doing.

For example, I have started a one man show company in Pakistan a long time ago, with limited budget I had, I used to work from home in evenings and nights as I was working for a (Textile Machinery Manufacturing Company back then 9/5 job but involves lots of nationwide and foreign travelling), I always cared my customers, There was not a much competition as it is now in those days back in 2000 and 2001 but my good customer support has kept my customers stuck with me in a positive way!

If you intend to begin an Internet business and you have no products or services to sell, then you consider affiliate marketing. The big advantage of affiliate marketing, you may make extra income even from your own home.

In the affiliate marketing there are three parties involved, first advertiser, second publisher and third buyer. The advertiser is a company or person that owns the product, such as videos, eBook, equipment, membership, coaching, and service to sell online. The publisher, who promotes the products and services of the advertiser. And the buyer, who uses search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing etc., to buy products and services online.

Affiliate marketing with own website

You can select affiliate marketing as a method of earning extra money. It allows you to start a business without having your own product. The affiliate advertisers provide you the publicity material that you need to promote their products.

Some advertisers also give you, affiliate website for promoting the products or services, but it is highly recommended you to have your own website to generate traffic.

How does affiliate marketing work on your own website?

When you build your affiliate marketing website and have products or services from your adviser the process of affiliate marketing gets started.

When any buyer, who is finding a product like “weight loss pills, for example,” comes to your website, there will be a place on your website where you would use “click here” officiate code (links) to divert the puncher to the main website of the advertiser.

When this buyer will purchase, then your affiliate code tells the adviser, where this lead is coming from, thus, this sale would be credited towards you and you will have handsome commission to lead the purchaser to an adviser.

Affiliate marketing webs that convert well

The following affiliate marketing websites can convert well:

Product specific: This type of website concentrates on only single product. Its content will be all about that particular product. This kind of web converts well, because it targets the visitors who are willing to purchase this specific product.

Problem specific: Such website solves the problems and helps visitors for making the right choice, the sales increase if purchaser benefits from the reviews and content.

Group specific: This website is for the group of specific people who have common problems and they require solutions to their problems. By this website you can make sales from various products or services instead of one.

Conclusion

So making cold calls, or knocking on different kind of peoples’ doors, you just take the services of any web design company for building your affiliate marketing web and attract traffic to your site, invite visitors for “clicking here” and you take them where their desired products or services are available on the advertiser’ main site.
