Advertising on the Internet

Spammers surely love the internet because the world has become a technological one. Many people abuse internet as a tool to deceive people with false advertisements.The internet is one of the most common destination where internet users receive false information and advertisement.

Example:
- URL: http://www.burnthefat.com/index1.html
- This site is clearly a spammer. It hits the hearts of many people who concern about their weights. They try to make money out of those people.
*Analysis:
First of all, the information on the site sound very convincing, and they make people feel like "it's worth a try." People who feel so desperate about their weight will easily fall for the trap because they think that it does not hurt to try the product(it does not cost that much-under $5 for 21 days). They also have many before-after pictures. Good premises and a convincing argument is what make the argument or claim strong and valid. So why do not all the people go for the product stated on the site?

The information sound very good and convincing, and they sound too good to be true. Based on customers' experience it is very hard to believe that the site is not a spammer. When we try to exit the page or close it, a window would pop-up and ask us to stay because they have a special deal which is the under $5 for 21 days deal. Those windows appear as another advertising piece, and it also ask us "Click ok if you wish to leave, or click cancel to stay on the current page" at the end of the convincing statement which many of us find it annoying. A trustworthy site would never have pop-up windows when the customers try to exit. Most importantly, a reliable site or product do not need that kind of advertisement, and people still know about it and use it. In conclusion, the site might be fooling around to make money out of customers. Five dollars is not a lot, but if there are 1000 customers they would make $5000. The worst case of spamming is they want the customers' credit cards information. I would never trust those kind of advertisements or sites. I would at least trust my own experience, and then I would do research before I enter my information on those sites.
