20% of Email Users Admit to Buying from Spam
 

Full Story here

SPAM SECRET: We all profess to despise spam, but some Americans have a dirty little secret about junk e-mail: It works on them. According to a Yahoo! Mail global survey of about 37,000 Internet users in 11 countries, 20 percent of U.S. residents admit buying products from spam purveyors. About 78 percent said they delete spam.

So where do the other 80% of Bush voters come from?:glugglug

spam works

If spam didn't work, people wouldn't be spamming.

adjust that number to 80% for AOL members :1orglaugh

with as much spam that is sent - DAMM

:P comming from some1 that pay per email ... I guess it works :P lol

Holy fuck, I thought it would be 5% or lower.

I still hate spammers though.

I buy from spam all the time. I'm a sucker.

Wow 20%? That's far higher than I would have expected.

What's your e-mail address?:glugglug

the number is bs, the article doesn't specify on what time frame. I'm almost sure the question was "Did you ever purchase anything from spam?"

even if its ever, its almost 50% of the people who have bought online

That's why there is so much spam !

wow.. lets start spaming

:winkwink:

The survey had to be bias. No way that figure is true.

do you search for all the threads with the word spam? :glugglug

heh, the difference is ours are double opt, not single opt, so they're technically not spam, they're newsletters.

But if you're saying that my opinion is formed because I know that email still does work, then you're correct. And we sell tons of advertising, so hit me up if you're interested :)

I concur.

If that number was true, I know many that would be rich enough to buy their own country.

Thats no news , if no one bought from spam. There would be no spam lol

I gotta love the newbs :P
