Scummy PDL Marketing Tactics: Continued

If this wasn’t so EVIL, I’d be jealous!

If you have a business website or are planning one, read on.

If this topic is too technical for you, forward it to your website developer! It’s a big deal if you’ve been hit!

Static HTML websites are dead. WordPress sites having responsive, mobile friendly capabilities are the direction for our loan industry.

I’ve previously written about Google’s Adwords policy regarding loan products.

Google has banned all loan products having >36% APR’s.

So…for those of us who were foolish enough to depend solely on Google Adwords to drive our loan transaction volume, we’ve been crushed.

UNLESS your Team has the talent to take advantage of this Google development.

The creators of 404 to 301 Plugin Redirect did!

“A 404 error is often returned when website pages have been moved or deleted.. If you care about your website, you should take steps to avoid 404 errors as it affects your search engine optimization [SEO] negatively. 404 ( Page not found ) errors are common and we all hate it, especially Search engines like Google and Bing! Install this plugin then sit back and relax. It will take care of 404 errors!”

Without getting too technical, the creators of 404 to 301 Plugin Redirect created a Plugin for WordPress websites that inserts the following code on your Homepage AND on an Exit Popup:

“Make Ends Meet With Payday Loans.”

“It is often very easy to face any financial emergency if you have adequate money to pay for them. But, this can seem all too impossible if you often live from one paycheck to another. How will you be able to pay for your urgent financial emergencies? Most often than not, you can’t. Face the reality, when your job is unable to pay for your financial emergencies, it is best to turn to payday loan providers out there.”

NOTE: This evil tactic came to my attention because my Team runs several websites on WordPress platforms including eCheckSystem.com, Automobilepawn.com, PaydayLoanIndustryBlog.com.

What happened?

You run a website using a WordPress platform. You want to avoid 404 errors. You find a free plugin to enable your site to avoid displaying a 404 error. EXCEPT, this plugin advertises payday loans for your competitor!

Get rid of this Plugin! Today!

And be on the lookout for more dastardly tactics employed by your payday loan competitors.
