    20% of Email Users Admit to Buying from Spam

    Full Story here

    SPAM SECRET: We all profess to despise spam, but some Americans have a dirty little secret about junk e-mail: It works on them. According to a Yahoo! Mail global survey of about 37,000 Internet users in 11 countries, 20 percent of U.S. residents admit buying products from spam purveyors. About 78 percent said they delete spam.

          If spam didn't work, people wouldn't be spamming.

                  Holy fuck, I thought it would be 5% or lower.

                  I still hate spammers though.

                          the number is bs, the article doesn't specify on what time frame. I'm almost sure the question was "Did you ever purchase anything from spam?"

                                    The survey had to be bias. No way that figure is true.
                                    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                        heh, the difference is ours are double opt, not single opt, so they're technically not spam, they're newsletters.

                                        But if you're saying that my opinion is formed because I know that email still does work, then you're correct. And we sell tons of advertising, so hit me up if you're interested

                                          I concur.

                                          If that number was true, I know many that would be rich enough to buy their own country.
