Duplicating Web Sites: Are
They a Scam, or for Real?
Today, you hear all the time about how simple
it is to start your own online business. In fact, this is many people's
dream. To accomplish this, they turn to the Internet.
Whether you want to do affiliate marketing,
start your own independent business, or join a multilevel marketing
organization, the key to your success is to drive traffic to your site,
which in
turn will convert to sales.
There are many ways to help you do this. One
product that claims
to do so is what is called a "self-replicating web site." However,
these are not tools for success. Rather, they are more trouble than
they're worth, and you have no control over them.
If you go into business for yourself, then
it's likely that at least one of the things that attract you to this is
that you have complete control over what you do. However,
self-replicating web sites take this away from you. In fact, if you are
given one of these sites within an organization, your site is identical
to every other member's site. In fact, the only difference between your
site and the site "next door" is that your e-mail address and affiliate
number is different from the other guy's.
People erroneously buy these self-replicating
web sites because they think that it will help them build an Internet
identification so that they'll increase their own sales. However, in
fact, they kill this very necessary Internet identity. This is why.
A few years ago, replicating web sites did
everything they said they were going to do. It was a very easy way to
get your business, your name, or your service a high ranking in the
search engines so that
when someone did a search with your keywords, yours would be one of the
first sites to come up. However, the search engines caught onto this
and thought that this was an unfair advantage to have. So they set out
to even the playing field.
What search engines began to do was to give a
poor ranking to any site that was an exact replica of another site that
had already been indexed in that search engine. And in fact today,
search engines
are still thinking of ways to get rid of these replicated web sites.
For you, that means if you have one, you're not only losing your rank,
but traffic you could have will never even get to you, because people
will never see you.
Therefore, because search engines don't want
your site to be self-replicating, don't waste your money or time on
one. There are other reasons as well that you shouldn't have one. For
one thing, you can't manage a self-replicating web site. You can't
improve the content or make it in any way unique. You can't alter it in
any way or add other types of advertising besides what are already on
the organization's other replicated sites. You can't track your page,
either. Therefore, this isn't a plan for success, but for failure. You
don't want that, do you?
If you truly want to succeed on the Internet,
build your own web site, unique to you. Then, use what is called
targeted effective search engine advertising. This will help drive
traffic to your own, unique
site, which in turn will attract sales and thus, greater success to you.
