Some of Alan's views on this digital marketing malarkey ... there's more on: AlanCharlesworth.com

Over the years – as you can see – I’ve added to this blog only sporadically. I decided to leave all the old posts ‘live’ as I think they can still be useful in helping folk understand digital marketing. Enjoy 😊

poor identity-protection practice

I have signed up to Google Alerts [if someone searches on my name in Google, they tell me] and got this one.

So I clicked on the link - and got this on zoominfo.comThe thing is, that's not me - but look what I got when I clicked on the 'this is me' link.
 As I have the same name as this 'Alan', I could easily have filled in the form - my email address even has the right name on it, so zoominfo would think I'm genuine [or someone else could open up a hotmail - or similar - account in that name]. I could then go on to submit any details [lies] about this person. Hmmm - might be worth checking this site to make sure you haven't been listed, and if so, YOU fill in the details.

    I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours nowadays,
    yet I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It's beautiful worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content material as
    you did, the internet will probably be much more
    useful than ever before.
