When does SPAM stop being spam and becomes - GoFuckYourself.com

CONTENT?

Some common examples: informative articles with an "About the Author" resource box, blog comments that actually discuss the entries they are commenting on, forum posts that contain mini-articles, consumer guides, adequately described consumer product directories, etc.

Maybe by adding some content "rice" and resource "kimchi" to the ad "spam", we'd give a better meal and value to the consumer and less complaints?

Your thoughts.

Spam is spam is spam is spam is spam. The only thing some filler might help with are conversions. There are anti-spam people who will hate it, no matter how pretty you make it.

Very good thread. It totally depends on context and the psychology of the people you are marketing to. Also, another factor to consider is how much free content/information is already available for that particular mainstream market segment.

Also, the definition of spam varies depending on who you ask. It can be as restrictive as merely putting a link with your communication (I say communication not just email or post or chat message because there's tons of differing ways to communicate online) or narrowly defined as email spam. Fortunately, the places you hit will also have varying degrees of restrictiveness regarding their definition of spam.

I'd say the Terms of Service for the site is a good place to see if something is spam or content.

So based on your logic, people are restricted to either free submissions (tgp/mgp/ll for adult and s/w and articles for mainstream), SEO, or paid listings?

It is a little less annoying when it has a joke or something, yes.
