Suggest non beneficial Online Marketing Techniques for present. i want to exclude it & applying best Online Marketing Techniques.

 

CPM ads.

 

I don't think there is any worst marketing method.
Marketing is marketing.
It depends on individuals results.
Anything which doesn't work for you would probably be a worst marketing method but that one might
be working very well for others.

 

Bad online marketing techniques (or marketing mistakes), well...Keyword research doesn't always produce the desired results. It can work against you if you don't properly identify what keywords are relevant, people often make this mistake.
Also not offering good offers is a technique that is overlooked by many. And not understanding where your leads are coming from is also something that can steer you in the wrong direction.

 

Quantity over quality is very common mistake I see.

I get tons of spam emails where the title was written by an literate 3rd world slob, it's like someone bought the cheapest writer and then spammed out a zillion messages, it is just worthless. One well written letter to the appropriate person would have much more benefit then one zillion trash messages. Same with backlinks and listings a 1000 and 1 robot links are worthless but one good link can be worth a lot.

I think some people don't know what to do so they just do stuff.. just to do stuff. If you don't know what to do study and find something worth while. Worthless stuff sent out is worse then nothing because you are attaching your site and your brand to worthless annoying trash.

 

Using bots to distribute bad links. I've learned that the hard way.

 

I agree with Nimo above. Using bots to get backlinks, harvest email addresses, send a million spam emails is not good for your reputation and it will guarantee you are banned from most marketing outlets and autoresponders.

 

Personally, facebook chat method is annoying to me.

 

Any marketing technique that is not targeted to a specific market that is relevant to your products or services is not only a waste of your time, but can lead to a bad reputation or worse.

 

I'd say that the worst mistake one can do for starters is just check most common advise given in a few places and then blindly following it, just because it worked for the person posting it. There is indeed a lot of useful advise out there, however you have to dig deep in piles of useless poo in order to find the few gems inside. When you enter a venture unprepared the best thing you can do is delegate a lot of time in the beginning to search for all various sources that seem relevant to your cause. Forums are a great example for that. Soon enough you will realize that there are many repetitive questions and seed the answers that are most commonly appearing. Combine that with the overall feel you have about the people posting and the reputation of the source and you shouldn't have much trouble determining good from bad. In the same logical line, impatience and unwillingness to learn are amongst your worst enemies too

 

Unless the methods are black hat, any online marketing techniques can work successfully for you if you put time into it.

 

Any form of automated promotion. Bot-created backlinks, bot-posted spam comments, bot-sent contact forms, spun articles, auto-submitted articles, etc. Basically any form of automation that generates content is a bad idea.

Bots and automated solutions simply cannot replace human interaction (yet). All the automated solutions take the simple route, which the search engines are aware of and penalise heavily.

If you'll excuse the analogy, marketing is like sex: people do it better than machines. Well, assuming they're any good at it, of course...!

 

Love your analogy there. Machines give you short term pleasures whereas Humans give a more holistic and balanced one.

 

Haha, I know a similar one - "Marketing is like sex - everyone thinks they're good at it"

 

Fake homemade video reviews can also be a bad method of marketing as it is apparent your company paid people to do video feedback and even wrote the script for them.

 

You blindly implement the “newest” SEO enhancements without realizing that it takes time for search engines to pick up on the changes and to include them in the SERPS.

 

Submitting articles to content farms instead of going for syndication.

 

worst method is not focus on your project because jump to one idea to another idea again

 

Niche marketing all the way man. Easy to get started and the startup costs are really small.

 

LOL @ someone who didn't read the question.
