    Another year has brought yet another Top 10 list of the most annoying happenings in Internet Marketing for 2007.


    Do you agree, have we missed something?

    10. Social Networking - not because it won't eventually be important, but for the attempts in 2006 to harness it for IM

    9. Worst, Most Over-Used Headline "Who Else Wants To..."

    8. Crappy Butterfly Marketing Sites. This is not a statement about the product BM, but rather how many marketers used it in 2006

    7. Guru's Who Won't Open Their Kimono -- instead of telling us what worked 6-months ago, how about a guru who is brave enough to allow their customers to share in real-time testing results similar to Terry Dean's early Netbreakthrough's days.

    6. Mindless, Frequent Emails. Now instead of 1 crappy email a week, we get 7 - can you say DELETE.

    5. Podcasts That Suck - On the positive side, there was a good weeding out of terrible podcasts in 2006, 2007 looks better.

    4. The 60+ minute Teleseminar - please, have a point and get to it!

    3. Video Explosion - But Where's the How? Lots of talk about video as the next revolution in marketing, but who has a reasonably priced tutorial on how to do it professionally, or should we all outsource?

    2. The Big Launch - Enough Already!

    1. Leading You In the Wrong Direction. Too many tactics with even less help in creating your own quality products.

    Honorable Mention - Web 2.0: Nobody knows what it is - it's not a platform, it's not a technology or standard, it's not a single concept and it's not something anyone can generally agree upon - sounds like a great business to get into doesn't it.
