Internet moneymaking strategies

Listed here are the strategies of everything involving moneymaking on the web.

Attention grabbing / presence

 * The visual display of a website, like anything visual, is very suggestive and draws the viewer into the website (immersion).
 * Email "bombing" techniques (an old tactic) remind the user to go back to the site. This has become known as 'spam' especially when the website owner sells the email adresses on to whomever will pay.

General content presentation

 * Misleading page titles / teasing the reader with hidden information
 * Overloading the viewer with visuals. Over an extended period of this an addiction is created. (Originated in porn websites)
 * Clear, effective and sleek layout. The user is actually lulled into a false sense of security through this - the service provider is left to do even more for them. Here I used the "rule of 3" (bolded part).
 * Making use of scientific <"user metrics"?> like how viewers often scroll to the bottom of an article looking for more - and so some sites have an invasive pop-out page element suggesting similar items.
 * Providing what the reader wants to hear, as opposed to the truth. (See: Moneymaking )

Rolling promises

 * Customers get their hopes up for every title/release/iteration. See: film & Video games industry, Windows
 * Case studies:
 * Dynasty Warriors -> Since DW2, exact same format of the game, very little changed, additional characters and .., ..
 * Dead Island?
 * L4D (community boycott)
 * d
