Two essential messages to put in your online content
“You pay nothing unless we win”“We will take no fee unless we win your case”
• Educate: most people who took a drug don’t know that the adverse event is related.
• 80% of the potential clients for any given Mass Tort never file a claim. One of the primary reasons is they are never aware that they have a claim.

Pay Per Click adverting a great way to throw away a lot of money• Must spend $50,000/week to be competitive• Like amphetamines, only works when it’s running• Rampant click fraudSEO – search engine optimization• On-page SEO should be already built in • Link-building and directory submissions – danger of
link farms, links from bogus sites
