About a minute after you start searching for an online business, you begin clicking every link that comes up and start heading down every bunny trail that you find. Sooner or later in your search, you will find SpiderWeb Marketing. Should you see where the trail leads, or pass and try another route?
The first thing you will notice about SpiderWeb is that it is free. This can be good news and bad news. That fact alone means it will draw tons of lookers, but it also means some business builder may take a peek at it as a source of added income.
I joined SpiderWeb as a producer looking to add to another income stream. I found the tutorials very easy to set up and use. For each affiliate program (all 22 of them), there is a video that walks you through the signing up. Most all of the affiliate programs are free, but a few are paid programs. You can pick and choose the ones you want to join. You sign up for the ones you want to use, and pass on the others. Later, if someone in your downline elects a program you do not subscribe to, the program will default upline until it finds an active member for that program.
Two of the 22 (at this time) programs they suggest for driving traffic are Direct Matches and Yuwie, two popular social networking sites. SpiderWeb prompts you for some information about yourself and even has some Shout Page copy you can cut and paste. SpiderWeb also has an option to produce an automated blog. You set the posting tool on autopilot and the blogs magically appear on your page. Sounds great so far, huh?
Not so fast. After signing up, I went to Direct Matches to see how I had done. I decided to search for people looking for business associates. They come up ten to a page. In the seven pages I viewed (70 profiles), there were 59 Spiders, and two pages scored ten out of ten. Amazingly, 37 of them had "been involved in Internet marketing for 10 years." You get basically the same results if you search blogs or groups, and similar results on Yuwie.
So, is the SpiderWeb system good for most people? I would say yes for "some" and no for "most." Yes for the fact that it provide instructions on how to get involved in 22 affiliate programs. That might have taken you days to do on your own. It gets a no for the fact that their marketing strategies and advertising point to "SpiderWeb," and not to your own business. I suggest you give it a pass.
