Free full page advertising in the newspaper
June 1st, 2009Advertising, Black Hat, Creative No CommentsThe other day I was speaking to one of my friends who told me about one of his black hat methods he uses a couple of times a week. I don’t recommend this to anyone.

What he does is go to a couple of newspaper agents/stands every week (altering them not to get caught) and buys a newspaper. But before he buys the newspaper he takes in a whole bunch of his own advertising pamphlets and slips them into all the other newspapers under the one he buys.
Again I don’t recommend this type of behaviour, but you have to admit its pretty creative.
He no longer has to pay people to deliver his flyers and customers who receive his flyers in the newspaper are sure of the validity of his business because they find these massive flyers in the paper they’ve bought.
He insists this only works in the newspaper agents that are very big and have lots of traffic and claims he can get 400 pamphlets out every week.
Pretty naughty!
