Interesting Marketing from Ziki.com

Tags: Adwords, Google, groups, marketing, RSS, social, Ziki

I got this E-mail yesterday from Severine at Ziki.com. I have to say it is at least an interesting way of marketing your new product, that is for sure. I’m also excited that I have become popular enough that somebody wants to buy Adwords on searches for my name in Google.

Hope you’re doing fine. I’m contacting you regarding your Ziki as I’ve got some good news We selected it for our special “Adwords offer”.

To help you control what people find when they search your name on Google, we’ve bought your name and last name to run an adwords campaign, and get your Ziki listed at the top of Google Search results.

So whenever anyone searches for your name online, they’ll see your Ziki profile first, created by you, and not a third party site containing potentially wrong information. Your Ziki gives your full picture at a glance, with information you’ve chosen to highlight, so we think it’s best if people find your Ziki when looking for you!

However, (assuming they have a very high PageRank or buy AdWords for your name) they want you to create a profile on their site, theoretically pushing that profile (which should contain only information endorsed by you) to the top of the search results.
