Hi I am new to Internet Marketing and have found the amount of info over load is just to much to keep up . Then the questioning of weather it is good info or not any insight would be helpfull thanks.

Just like in the real world: find out who your target market is first, then tailor your approach to that.
The specifics of a market will lead you to specific methods and you can avoid a lot of pitfalls from the start. Once you have established a market and the right way of capturing it, then you can expand and experiment.
All markets are different. Your target might be the very young, the middle aged people or even the very aged. The target might be a broad group or a niche. All of that you must establish before you invest yourself with the promotions that can be so very misguided if you have not done your research beforehand.
A lot of time and funds can be wasted by just searching the net for general advice that might not apply to any of your goals. Be specific
I have to nip this in the bud right away, it’s outright wrong to claim that there’s no way to establish if information is wrong because other people may find a use for it. The facts are that if something is incorrect, it’s incorrect, if people choose to follow misinformation it does not give that information any fragment of credibility. If someone is passing around FUD information, we CAN say that it’s wrong (because it is factually incorrect), there’s no grey area for factual accuracy.
I’m not sure I follow your question… You’re overwhelmed with information, and that’s to be expected with so many options, but what are you asking… if all information is good? Certainly not. Each page/ blog/ post/ comment/ idea needs to be evaluated on its own; some will be great, some not so much. And even what’s great may not be right for you and what you plan to do.
My advice would be to read up on the different methods on how to make money online and then pick the one that makes the most sense to you. Then the important part… stick with it. Nothing worse than jumping from one system to another, before you finished setting up the first one.
I agree with Ted, there is a lot of information out there and some is better than others so use your common sense before deciding to follow something you read. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I agree Ted… There is so much information online that it can be overwhelming and difficult to figure out what is right and what is not. I always tell people who are starting out that NOTHING should be taken literally. Everything should be read, learned, compared, analyzed and THEN implemented. Too many people make the mistake of reading and taking everything literally to the syllable and that is a big mistake. What works for some people does not necessarily mean it is going to work for everyone.
So it is important to try, test and move on.
I agree and would emphasise on the comparing which Jenny mentioned, if you find some information and you want to ensure it’s accurate then research it! Go to Google, enter the information and see what it turns up, decide if the sources themselves are trustworthy and if there’s enough credibility in the argument to consider it’s worth using and then you can go ahead with it. You may find it worth reading about how to research information properly as it could save you a lot of time in the long run, there’s plenty of methods to reducing redundancy and how you can get all the information you need (organized in a way you can use it).
I couldn’t agree more. The Internet can definitely be overwhelming to a newbie. Here’s my advice: Find a one-stop Internet Marketing website or blog that you’re comfortable with that pretty much covers all IM topics.
That way instead of hopping all over the place and getting confused, you can learn everything you need to know at one site, as well as learn at your own pace.

EVeryone suffers from that and each and every one has their own way to get passed that. For me, what I do is focus on the only specific info that I need at the moment and not think of others. For example If I want to start blogging, I wouldn’t read monetization or traffic tips, instead I would read how to buy my own domain and install wordpress kind of thing.
Its just all about filtering what you need and putting out what you don’t.
less information was a problem before, now more information is a problem:)
may be you should just stick to the authority sources then.
Info overload is a problem that each one of us suffers but we need to sift thru the info and try to scan what’s relevant 4 u and wats not.
finally stick to authentic sources if u hv difficulty in distinguishing info
