New wave in marketing: Email Keyword Marketing?

by Kael41

So i came across this ebay ad a little while ago, and while at first it seems like a bait and switch (which it is), it does pose an interesting question: is there any benefit from our marketing side to focusing on email name keywords?

    OMG - people have already bid up to $222 !!

    People actually DO NOT READ?!?!

    I once saw an auction for a lap top - the winner got to BUY a lap top FOR the guy who posted the aution! and people bid!

      Can't say I'm surprised people don't notice this is for an email address, not the phone.

      As for the email name keywords, do you mean using targeted keywords in your email address? Not sure where the benefit for that comes except for auctions like this and _maybe_ helping the QS of your sales page..

        Yea, that's what I mean. What benefits could there possibly be in having keywords in an email name? Ariticle Author Box Info email contact name? Does it contribute to the LSI indexing of content on a particular page? If so, i'd imagine it'd be only a little bit, BUT, it could prove an advantage of some small measure. Not sure...

          Yea, I'm not sure if there is a real advantage at all. However, if there is, any advantage, no matter how small, is still an advantage This is chess after all hehe

          well positively for account names on web 2 sites.. but email names? unless they are related to the account associated with it, like on google or or yahoo, then cant think of any other reason of the top of my head...

            It may have the same effect as usernames online. Like in forums.

            The SE's easily pick up on username. In fact that was a marketing tactic I used in the days. I would register under my domian name.

            Now its still fairly common and still effective. However some forums like VBul have settings for the admin to not allow domains in usernames.
