Hi

I visited http://www.tgpfeed.com, and noticed that you're not listed on some search engines! I think we
can
offer you a service which can help you increase traffic and the number of visitors to your website.

I would like to introduce you to TrafficMagnet.net. We offer a unique technology that will submit your
website to over 300,000 search engines and directories every month.

You'll be surprised by the low cost, and by how effective this website promotion method can be.

To find out more about TrafficMagnet and the cost for submitting your website to over 300,000 search
engines and directories, visit www.TrafficMagnet.net.

I would love to hear from you.


it looks like they do a combination of:
- WHOIS database collecting
- website mailto: collection (i once got one to my cell phone.. kuz i have a pager mailto: on my website)
- plain old emailing of webmaster@ and other common @'s at all the domains they have harvested from these sources.

i just want to know how many other people suffer from this shit. i'm tempted to start fucking with their website or something.
