I just FIRED an employee
 

One of my marketing people is a single mother with three kids. We pay her like $10 an hour to find sites that we think we should partner with and she emails them to see if they want to check out our affiliate program.

Well thanks to GFY users PeerPatrick, JSA Matt, Grumpy, justsexxx, SpeakEasy, jimmyf for complaining and saying it was spam, we had to fire her.

She'll probably be evicted and homeless by the end of the month.

Just spreading the good news!

I dont know if i'am in shock that you fired her, or that your company can even afford marketting people.

this guy is sooo full of shit.

he was called out for spamming , claims he PAYS SOMEONE TO MAIL folks, now he fired her?

it was a HIM in the other thread

HAHAHA

I always liked to see someone get gassed ....

And 2 bucks an hour...

You Sir a turd,

I invite all active datinggold affiliates to check out AFF, put your traffic to a test, you will make more.

Your a bad employer if you give your employees false hope and let them do illegal work. Bad Bad boy.

partner with.. meaning asking webamsters to promote your site? If thats not spam.. what is the definition of spam?

Emailing someone once and saying "Hey you want to trade links?" isn't "SPAM" by any definition.

Are you sure we have the whole story here? Sounds pretty damn silly.

Do people actually report as "SPAM" a single email like that? I cant believe that they do, it's too ridiculous.

meanie.

and now its 10$!
only one post and he raised it 500% :warning

I bet he pays 2$ but thells his accountant its 10$

:Graucho

what is wrong with asking someone to join you in making money...sounds like sales to me.

You mean you would report something like that if you got ONE email? Wow..

If I got repeated bulk emails like that, I would report it. But one? No way..

Didn't you just say it was a phillipino male making $2 an hour?After you spammed me several times, I sent a message to [email protected] and you call me a liar. You are an idiot and I feel sorry for anyone doing business with you.

:1orglaugh

Why would you ever post this newS? Its not good and your response at the end about her being homeless is heartless...Makes me wanna do biz with a company which is run by such a understanding and compationate guy.

lol man you people are gullible..

we didnt fire anyone.

no matter what people say you will have the non-believers.

he spammed you and others.

Oh this was supposed to be funny.

hah hah.

You need help.

I agree when I worked for a mainstream dot com, if I couldnt find a phone number I would email mail . Sending a email introducing yourself asking if you want to do business is not spam. Also are you that weak you fired her based on instructions you gave her?

:Graucho :Graucho :helpme :helpme :Graucho :Graucho

priceless

Lol I figured that out...But when you lie about it, at least keep saying the same...

Good luck with DG...You showed to be a real PRO....

Andre

On that note... anyone looking to replace this assclowns websites with a quality program that doesn't need to spam and lie to webmasters to gain affiliates, check out AdultFriendFinder

You are an ass!

um it seems no one can take being ridden.

i was fucking with you.

i guess some people are simply too up tight

hahaha

jokes niggaros, getting a rise, remember when it used to be fun?

hahaha

spam me tomorrow.

DatingGold

I see you are in California

they are looking for some customers. :1orglaugh

You are a funny man :glugglug

poor guy :(

if somebody wants to send me an email he has to call me first and ask for my permission.

LOL! Damn.. I could almost hear the violins in the background.

Seriously, you should've been more original, like that mom has house payments coming soon.

*smirk* and this company (DatingGold) is supposed to be my competition??? :1orglaugh :drinkup

I thought spam was legal...


was she forging headers or reply to addresses?


was there a valid remove link, etc?



last I heard everyone CAN-SPAM






< goes back to get more coffee, apparently I haven't been paying attention in class....

Truth hurts...

yah, right. pulled on a few heart strings with that story though for sure

What he was doing is not spam.

No comment on whether DG did or did not do it as he says but;

I can see what he's talking about. In the early days I went around the search engines using words like "Teen Porn" when I found a site I would look to see if there was an email address or go to Whois and find it.

Then I sent them off an email introducing myself to them. Got a lot of replies that were pure abuse, mostly from idiots with small crappy sites, and accused of spamming.

Marketing is not spamming, it's doing business. Paysites are in the business of delivering content, they need to buy good content, they need to be aware of the content available, especially new content providers. To dismiss an email introducing yourself as a content provider to a paysite as spam shows a lack of business sense and disregard for your business.

The right girl on your tour can improve your conversion ratios better than anything, to stick yourself in a rut and ignore a new content provider meansd your competitor might be a little more open minded and get the business.

NOT SPAM.

And it should be the same for any part of the business, hosting, design, affiliates, sponsors. I'm sory but keeping up with what is around you and available for you and your competitors is part of being in business.

Spam is a guy trying to sell me insurance or a mortgage. not even knowing or caring that he's emailing me andf I'm not in the US. Spam is high volume emailing, not targetted marketing.

What the fuck is WRONG with you two??? Jesus Christ.

This is GFY.

Stop making sense.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Fuck that, hire her back.

We just voided the contract of some stupid bitch from our newspaper delivery company. She has been leaving messages lsaying stupid bitches I am gonna get a lawyer. Stupid crack whore must not be able to read a contract. =)

i believe in good & bad karma....

this thread lingers.. lol
