Why are Violent & Fear-Oriented Words So
Popular in Online Advertising?
by: Susan at Vector Central
Copyright, Vector Central Marketing

Have you noticed the inundation of violent words used to
promote web sites and online businesses? In today's atmosphere
of terrorism, why is there "not" a recognition that terms
like the following promote fear and negative emotions:
"Killer ads" "Blast your Readers with..." "Explode your
traffic..." And if the user of these terms "intends" to gain
customers by tactics of fear, then why? Do you 'want' to do
business or buy from someone who would personally hurt you?
Offend you? Blast you? Kill you?

Some online users have not even thought about the impact of
such ad strategies. Some of those who use such terms will be
defensive against my viewpoints, but as a person who wants
peace in our world I encourage all of us, including myself,
to "think" before we use such words that depict fear,
violence, hatred and words used in terrorism.

Am I being a bit extreme? Perhaps some readers might say
yes, but before using such phrases visually place yourself
in the same room with someone who lost a loved one on 9-11
or in the current awful wars and try to ask them if they
like these terms? Would they use your services or want to
buy from you?

The unfortunate reality is that if a person were to totally
avoid working with web sites that use these terms, he/she
might as well not work online -- the usage of such words is
That Prevalent!

It's obvious that the users of these phrases do not mean
them literally, but what concerns me is how saturated the
mind can become with such syntax. "Words" do affect each of
us. There is a Bible verse that says, "As a man (woman)
thinketh in his(her) heart, so is he(she)," (Proverbs 23:7).
As we think, we speak -- as we speak, we influence -- as we
influence, we change lives! Let's not blast, explode, nor
kill each other in our advertising, nor in our everyday
speech! There is a whole dictionary and thesaurus where
nonviolent words and terms can be found. Bookmark this
Dictionary/Thesaurus link today: http://www.dictionary.com

This IS important! What can each of us do to make a stand
against violence and terrorism? -->
Help by changing our "speech" on-line and off-line!
