The strategy involved in marketing is just that; a well thought out plan. The crucial point that was overlooked and not mentioned in the link you provided is when offering anything free you need to target a *select* market, i.e., people who would most likely BUY your product, certainly not the entire worldwide web. As far as undoing the damage in your particular situation, I'd add some targeted guilt into your recovery plan. All that have taken thus far, has to be a few that are not completely without shame. Best of luck to you. If nothing else, you have a valuable lesson to learn by. :smiley2:
