Here’s a tongue-in-cheek look at why people fail at Web site promotion.

So, you want to fail miserably at Web site Promotion. It’s easy if you don’t try. Follow these three easy steps and you will be the laughing stock of your online neighborhood - that is, if anyone can find you.

1. Start without any particular goal in mind - or better yet, get a vague goal that has no meaning so you’ll never know when you’ll reach it. Successful site promotion starts with the end in mind. You’ll never fail if you have a plan in mind - throw it out the window. Now!
2. Don’t ever test or measure anything. If you want to fail, you absolutely cannot know any single factor about what’s going on in your site. Are you nuts? If you knew you had a 15% increase in visitors today, you’d be tempted to figure out where they came from and how to get more of them. Failure at Web site promotion takes determination and complete lack of moxie. Get those blinders on!
3. Advice, schmadvice! How will you ever fail if you study or hire professional help? That didn’t work in grade school now did it? So don’t research anything, or pay anyone who knows what they’re doing either. No, not even free research, such as reading articles or going to forums where SEO or professional Web site promotion specialists hang out. You need to stick with whatever you’re doing that’s not working, rather than taking the calculated risk of trying something new. What if it worked? Fool!

Do these three easy tasks over and over and you’ll never have any traffic. I give you my 3000% failure guarantee. Lose all hope of ever being successful, or I’ll take my ridicule back.
