Smart marketing tricks designed to assault your wallet.

My daily gripe:

Seems like these days, if you put a name "ballistic", "tactical", "operator", etc in front of any product (sometimes rather common or even mediocre, and certainly made in China) it gives a seller the right to charge you two to five times more its actual retail value. Sad... Tactical bottle opener anyone?

 

[madwabbit]

its a key phrase that generates web traffic and populates you at the top of a search engine return.

I use and recommend it on many of my clients and customers' websites as well.

example: video on best ccw handgun and bag

keywords: tactical glock ccw chp cwp bag purse concealed conceal hidden+compartment diversion ballistic defensive combative 1911 smith_and_wesson s&w 9mm .40 gun bullet shoot self+defense video how+to gun review 2a second_amendment 5.11

It's done so that when you google: 9mm or .40 which bullets for self defense; the above video will be on the first page of results and probably near the top of the list.



edit: i attempted to prove my point, but google searching tactical fills in "tactical nuclear penguin"- a beer apparently that I now have to try. isnt the internet fun

Of course people use fun keywords for that kind of stuff. It is SEO and Marketing 101. Look at BayouShooter's Keywords:

<meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,bbs,discussion,jelsoft,bulletin board,Louisiana Firearm, Gun, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Army, Navy, Airfore, Marines, Law Enforcement Agencies,Bayou,Shooter,bayoushooter,shooting,firiing,range,ranges,laws,legalities,ccw,concealed,carry,concealed carry,handguns,rifles,long guns,c&r,c & r,shotguns,archery,classifieds,sell,selling,buy,buying,trade,trading,trades" />


<meta name="description" content="BayouShooter.com is a forum dedicated to Louisiana Firearm, Gun, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines, Law Enforcement Agencies." />

I will point out that AirForce and firing are spelled incorrectly and probably have been for years. I should probably fix that

Kinda like putting digital in front of everything electronic. Now if someone could just sell me a digital tactical pen...

 

[Hogin]

I believe that Cajun & Redneck are right up there in the keyword category. Hmmmmm. For Sale, LNIB Cajun Tactical Glock like pistol made in China, that is able to shoot ballistic rounds by any Redneck Operator that holds it. Only One Bazillion dollars.

Runs good.

How about Duck Dynasty? Man, those guys are cashing in. From Crocs to coolers, apparel, blankets, office supplies, and everything in between.

If you are going to go Digital Tactical Pen may I recommend you spend a little more to get the HD one with the DVR.

 

[madwabbit]

in case our band of bearded rednecks missed it...

there is a beer called "Tactical Nuclear Penguin". I've ordered a case and absolutely cannot wait for it to get here.

Not sure if the bottles are in HD

Ironically, I'd say nothing is being more overused and capitalized on now than "molon labe".
