Alot Of Newbies Are Now on WF?

A Bary · 08-19-2009, 04:33 PM

I noticed that within the previous 2 weeks, alot of questions asked on the threads are very very basic, and reflects that the one asking doesn't read any IM book or even didn't browse the WF enough!

I don't have any thing against newbies, and I understand where they are coming from, each one of us has been a newbie at some stage, and I myself after 5 years of IM still asking some basic questions about certain subjects I don't know much about,, but the point...
Why so many newbies are showing up at the same time?

Maybe more are trying to find a way to make a living online?

I know may be some of you will hate me for this, but some questions I read annoy me in fact, no offense for anyone but when you're introduced to a new business, you shall first try to read as much as you can about this business..

The new type of " newbies" seem to take a new approach, "go for biz first and learn later", I find this hurting for them and for other marketers as well, and alert the known greedy clowns to jump and take advantage of them..

a newbie asked a question about affiliate link in yahoo answers, and as you read on his thread, you'll find that he don't know anything about hoplinks, html, pasting a code, generating a redirect page.. almost nothing at all..
however, he just go there and posted an affiliate link in Yahoo answers to make a quick sale!!!
Again, no offense here, but don't you agree that such a behavior is what cause marketers (over time) the problems with different sites that can be used as marketing channels?

I'm not an "anti-newbie", but for god sake, this hurts us all,
That's what got us banned from one site after another, rushing for sites and posting affiliate links without trying to explore proper knowledge first??

I agree with most everything you are saying, but YOUR post is part of the problem!

This forum is for IM product reviews & ratings ONLY!!

It is not for commentary, personal requests to "review" a website, or what kind of HD TV to purchase. The nonsense that I have to wade thru just to get to the real & unbiased IM product reviews is ridiculous...
