Newsgroups > Best Way to Post

you mean spam?

Oh Gee Whize , what makes you think that ???

I use Forte Agent for posting, and a pretty good usenet service.
Problem with you thinking of subcontracting is that all groups have their own monitors which at a moments glance can shut you down. Just one off-topic post or a branded jpeg in the wrong place will get to baned from ALL groups.

Yup they are very strict and if you get reported you loose your account plus they can report you to your ISP.

Something else you need to be aware of. Many content licenses will only allow you to post 5 pics of a set and it must always be the same 5. If you post 6 your license is revoked.

Honestly, usenet posting probably isn't even worth the time anymore. Most surfers nowdays don't even know what a newsgroup is.

Pretty sad really... I can remember back in the day posting like 5 pics with a stamped URL and text message. That was good for like 2,000 hits easily -- and the traffic was pretty decent as well, not like today's freeloaders.

But if you're still wanting to give it a try, there are some windows programs out there that post in bulk. One that comes to mind off hand is Post Agent -- but I just tried to hit their domain and it doesn't even appear to be active anymore. But there are others out there -- try a search on download.com.

One other solution -- and a much better one, might be to hire a programmer to create a custom solution for you. Something like a custom script that will auto-post to the newsgroups of your choice at set intervals. This way it would be working from your server - using the server bandwidth (which is probably much faster) rather than your local high speed connection.

Plus I'm sure you can put in some scheduling features so you can pretty much let it rip on auto-pilot. But again... it comes down to the question of it even being worth the time and money.
