Blunt Trauma or Blunt Force Trauma : a type of physical trauma caused to a body part, either by impact, injury or physical attack.

Do you ever get the feeling after seeing an advertisement that you just got smacked in the head with a big stick?

The following ads feel like a punishment for not buying their product rather than a reason to do something.


 


The real question here is whether these ads work or not. Are you more apt to buy into their brand or just run away screaming when you see their logo?

Download the Open Source Marketer Toolbar

One of the things that I hear over and over is that people don’t understand the process for marketing online. They get confused or distracted and they’re not sure what order they should be doing things in.

So, I decided to take my own bookmarks from my Firefox bookmarks toolbar and turn them into an organized set of resources that anyone can use to do Internet Marketing.

The toolbar is organized from left to right and each set of resources are limited to just a few essential to cut down on distractions. I plan to add more to the toolbar over time, but I will continue to keep in mind the principle that more is not better in this case.

The toolbar is available for both Internet Explorer and Firefox (both Mac and Windows). In fact, I’m using it to supplement my own Firefox bookmarks toolbar so that I can download it and use it when I am away from my laptop.

Download the toolbar and let me know what you think is missing. Or let me know what you use the most. I’ll be adding a Getting Started button to it soon to help everyone get the most out of using it.
