Getting traffic from NewsGroups... ? - GoFuckYourself.com

polish_aristocrat · 05-26-2003, 03:32 AM

I see that someone is asking what to do with 5k newsgroup traffic. I can't help, since I don't get any traffic from newsgroups... I thought it's now allowed by the sponsors...

But, first of all, is it not allowed to spam the newsgroups with f.e ARS sites linking codes, like "click here fot eh hottest teens" and a All petite link, or is is also not allowed to promote your free or link sites through newsgroups ? As said before, I don't get any traffic from newsgrous, but after thinking about it I realised that I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
I mean, it isn't actually usenet SPAMMING, since people who subscribe to alt.sex.teens newsgroups, are actually looking for teen pictures and links to teen sites... ?
So what's wrong with it... ?

hope that someone wtll enlighten me in this matter...

I think spamming on the Usenet would be defined as unsolicited messages with a commercial agenda, even if it's on-topic. If you're trying to sell the surfers something, it's probably spam. It's not spam if you're uploading free pics for the sake of porn.

Realistically though, I don't think you'll get complaints considering 99% of the posts are already of a commercial agenda. If you just put a tag of your site URL in the image you're posting, I don't think you'd have any issues. You might have a different experience though if your posts don't consist of any content... and it's just a message that says "Click here for Hot ARS Bitches"... that would just be blatent spam.

you could link from a newsgroup to a hub and get the free sites spidered by google.
