False and misleading advertising Online - Steering, Buzz Marketing and Dishonesty

It seems that dishonorable and disingenuous for the online marketing for using a false name to drive Internet Surfers to a website to buy something while you are using a false name. Some justify their deception, saying that it is a "pen name", but it is really enough, as it is still a false name and deception tactics that are deployed?

It seems particularly problematic when the Internet Surfer or potential purchaser believes they are there on the basis of information that a real person has given them, such as an article on a blog or one that has appeared in an ezine or online newsletter. Furthermore, it is obvious that the consumer has the right to know the writer's association with the site that sends them.

Of course, few would deny that the consumer has a right to know that the writer has an interest to which you are submitting them and must have confidence that this is a real live person giving them information. And 'false advertising misleading to use a false name to sell something to someone.

It can not be against the "letter of the law" again, to send someone to an AdSense site, using a false identity, as it is still a gray area, an "I" personally I find shocking. We need more integrity on the Internet, and we need to restore order to this problem.

Did you know that the SEC does not allow dealers broker, stock broker, etc. to use something that someone else wrote and say who wrote it, putting their name on it? This is an attempt to clean out the dishonesty in marketing information. It 's a start.

With regard to another specific point, there are laws of marketing buzz, and yes, some high profile cases and in those cases the FTC has taken over. The consumer has a right to know if someone is promoting something and get paid, bribed with free products or have a financial interest "buzz" of a product, procedure, service, or any number of other things. This issue came up with the bloggers have received free products to consumer products to talk about blogs.

Personally, no matter what the "letter of the law," he says, in my book is still immoral to engage in deceptive or misleading marketing. If you are selling anything on the Internet and promotion through PR, advertising, blogs, ebooks, writing articles, the consumer has a right to know.

If you deny this right, the consumer, some might call a less than ethical person. So, I'm glad I'm not in any way associated with those who behave that way. Yet, it is important that you understand these things and stay out of trouble and out of the gray area of ​​law.
