I know you’ve just read the title of this article and you’re probably scratching your head wondering just what the heck I’ve been smoking. I assure you, I have not been smoking anything. In fact, I don’t smoke…PERIOD. But what I do is try to get people to think about what they do when it comes to their Internet marketing practices. Well, this article should get you thinking a lot. So I’m just going to ask this question straight out. Where did you bury the bodies? Not sure what I mean? No problem. Keep reading and it will all be crystal clear.

Breadcrumbs. I love breadcrumbs. I love to eat them and I love the breadcrumbs that other marketers leave laying on the ground so I can figure out just what it is that they’re doing. That way, I can reverse engineer their campaigns and see if I can’t find a way to do them one better. Yes, breadcrumbs are a wonderful thing for other marketers. And the truth is, we all leave our little trail of breadcrumbs. Even I do. But I do my best to cover them up the best that I can. How? By burying the dead bodies so nobody can find them.

Okay, you’re probably asking yourself, “How can you do this?” Well, there are a lot of ways to bury the dead bodies. One way is by using link cloakers. This way, nobody can see what your domain is initially without actually clicking on your links and going there. Some people are just too lazy to do this so they won’t bother. Cloak your links and that’s one body that’s going to be a little harder to find.

Another way is by using pen names. You don’t want people to know that it was you who wrote a particular article? No problem. Come up with a pen name and submit it under that name. If you write articles for EzineArticles, they allow you up to 50 pen names. That means that you could tackle up to 10 different niches and nobody would ever know that it was you in any of them.

Finally, when you register a domain, you want to use private registration. That way, if somebody goes to look up to see if a domain is yours, should they suspect that it is, all they’re going to find when they head over to whois, is a private registration and no way to determine who the actual owner is. This is what you call burying the body six feet under and covering it up with mud.

Of course there are plenty of other things you can do such as using proxies, but this short list will do for now. Point is, if you don’t want people to know what you’re up to, there ARE ways to keep them from finding out.

To YOUR Success,
