Strange use of email spam
 
I just got an email spam from a car rental company in Ankara, Turkey.

Let's think about this for a second...

The number of people that actually read a spam email is already low

The number of people that actually click through to view the website for the spam offering is even lower

The number of people that both click through AND buy something is even lower than that

But they're not even selling an impulse item like viagra, fake rolex, or porn, they're spamming a car rental company in Ankara, Turkey of all places.

The number of people that would get that spam AND be needing a car rental in Ankara, Turkey must be amazingly small. But wait! It gets even better! Assuming you actually do need a rental car in Ankara, the website is not in english. www.ankararentacar.com

So unless you speak Turkish and happen to need a rental car in Ankara, Turkey, this entire spam effort is a big waste of time. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I was already wondering if i was doing something wrong.
Back to Viagra i guess.

Hah thats kind of like the fools who harvest email addresses from websites that are entirely in english, located in the US, but send the spam in Russian. So retarded.

By the way, what is the point of having the title of your website in english, but the rest of the text in Turkish?

If I can't read Turkish, then that title isn't doing me a whole lot of good.
