Imagine if spammers had to pay as much for sending out email.... Then maybe they would try to use real marketing techniques instead of just seeing if they can email every single person in the world all day long.
wrong, spam hosting, hell, even real double optin mailer hosting costs a fuck of a lot more than regular posting..there are no $4.95 hosting specials even with true edouble option mail hosting


so, what is a "real" marketing technique? if you email someone and they buy, isn't that marketing? you sold them a product they wanted (if they didn't want it, they wouldn't have clicked the link in the email). How is that any different ore "more real" than putting a bunch of banners on a site, popping consoles or making sure your site is readily available when they search for something via a search engine? I'm interested in hearing your views on "real" marketing.
