    Email Spamming. Does it Work?

    Does the email spamming of paysites work?

    Is it worth doing?

    How Much is it to do usually, and who does this as a service?

      Is there some sort of record trying to be broken? How many people can ask that question in a very short space of time?

            spamming is a myth.. all those people wanted these emails, or they wouldnt have replied all those times, and told all their friends about me!! word travels fast whe your host has to shut you down, cause you are so popular.. and your isp has to shut you down becuase you have to many friends wanting to come see you!!
            A fast fortune is easy to earn! Just go with a winner!

              "Does the email spamming of paysites work?

              Is it worth doing?"

                  I appreciate the sarcasm.


                  I see the same emails promoting the same sites coming in regularly over many months. so it must be worth their time to do it. They are not being shut down. I mean the servers doing the nass emails may get shut down, but these sites still seem to be thriving.

                  I am just curious.

                  95% of our email is spam. so it must be effective. Yet I have never seen a website that will offer it as a service. That is what is confusing. Do these people who own the websites do it all themselves?

                      Spamming definitely works. Keep in mind you'll have to move your server to China, though.

                      If you send out 500,000 spams you'll get about 500 people complaining to your isp, probably get shut off the same day.

                            More than half of all joins come from spam, anyone who thinks spam doesn't work, get your head out of your ass. Anyone who is against spam, don't hate, just start doing it yourself and put a diaper on 'cause you're going to shit yourself when you see your stats page.

                                    Let me say this...if spamming does not work then why do they do it?

                                    They might not make very much money but its easy money. I read an article in newsweek not too long ago. The top spammer makes 5million+ per year.

                                    You just need to make sure that you do it the legal way.

                                    Reguarding aol, I spammed aol members who hung out in rooms such as 'sex' 'cyber' and 'pussy.' Made as much as $500 per month. I stopped becuase of the legal probs but if you do spam...check out desktopserver2000.com. It works like a charm.

                                      I MUST say I would rather get spam then cold calls by a rude sales person when I am eating dinner.

                                      I heard some people say...I hate spammers, my 8 year gets hardcore porn in there email. WHAT THE FUCK is an 8 year old doing having an unrestricted email account?

                                          propromotions,

                                          spamming only works on people who either don't know how to prevent it, or those who are too lazy to prevent it. And of course, those who are actually willing to buy something from a spam.

                                          people are getting alot smarter though, and anti-spam tools are improving daily. I personally don't get spam anymore.... and I love it.

                                          spam is a dying practice.... in a few years, you won't be able to squeeze a spam through to anyone's account.

                                                an unrestricted email account?

                                                my little brother (9 years old) has a Yahoo! mail account. The only people who know his email address are me, his other brother, mom+dad and his grandmother. he has never given out his email address and his use of the account is 100% supervised.

                                                he still gets spam all the time from people who send spam out to lists in the form of "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc."

                                                  Well of course not... cuz spamming is illegal... I WISH those responsible for spamming were stupid enough to promote themselves as such... would make them a much easier target for prosecution and fines. Spamming is unethical bullshit... but of course the top spammers and "bulkers" will tell you how rich they got from it.

                                                      Unethical? In whose book?

                                                      Illegal?

                                                      Those are rather strong words, especially since you work with people who deal with email marketing.

                                                                Ok. Please explain what spam has to do with the longevity of the business? Regardless of how the surfer gets the message they only sign up if they want to. It might hurt your longevity becasue a spammer will already have all your customers before he can type in your site. What does ethics have to do with spam? Email isn't as intrusive as spyware, popups, mail in your mailbox, circle jerks, cross sales and many of the other "ethical" tricks used by webmasters every day.

                                                                Get over it. Get over it. Get over it. People make good money spamming. And yes, if you saw some of their stats it might change your mind.

                                                                No I Don't Spam....... I Don't Know How.

                                                                            Yes there are those bad mailers out there who don't honour their removes and don't clean their lists. They are the reason why mailers have a bad name.

                                                                            However, there are responsible mailers out there who CAN make a sponsor a lot of money. This is not a myth. But a lot of you out there think it is soooo easy to mail....well I have news for you, it isn't. You think we just put in the email addresses and send, send send...You try doing that and I guarantee you that you will be shut down within 6 hours.

                                                                            Responsible mailing is an art. You don't just do it, you have to learn about it.

                                                                            Well I think I have ranted and raved enough. I am a traffic broker. I have lists to sell to serous buyers, I have mailers who want to send traffic to your paysites and make you all a lot of money and I have sponsors who need mailers.

                                                                            So if you are serious and interested in what I have to offer, then email me at [email protected]

Regardless of how the surfer gets the message they only sign up if they want to. It might hurt your longevity becasue a spammer will already have all your customers before he can type in your site. What does ethics have to do with spam? Email isn't as intrusive as spyware, popups, mail in your mailbox, circle jerks, cross sales and many of the other "ethical" tricks used by webmasters every day.

                                                                                      Get over it. Get over it. Get over it. People make good money spamming. And yes, if you saw some of their stats it might change your mind.

                                                                                      No I Don't Spam....... I Don't Know How.
                                                                                      I agree for the most part it's mroe harmless than other tactics. However you misquoted me. I didn't say longevity of your business, I said longevity of the industry. It's well known that the adult industry is under attack for the crude and graphic spam emails that get sent unsolicited to the email boxes of both adults and childred. It's just adding wood to the fire for the critics of the adult industry, who look for any excuse they can find to stir things up.

                                                                                      And ethics? It's a fine line to walk on when you're talking about unsolicited beastiality ads showing up in mine and my kids email boxes.
