Spamming The Internet
-Are YOU the next Victim?-
by debbie solomon
When you hear the word SPAM, what comes to your mind? Is the term worse then the meaning? This word SPAM has been blown out of proportion. It is causing unbelievable hysteria on the internet.
Many businesses are spending more and more time each day
getting frustrated, yelling at the spammers, and reporting
the spammers.
-Is it really worth it?
-Is there are way OUT?
Unfortunately we will never get rid of spam. It is like getting rid of the junk mail in your mailbox. It is always there. You can bank on it almost everyday. It is the sameway with SPAM. As long as you have any kind of existance online, your email box will be littered with SPAM.
There is a way to cut alot of it out though. Ever since I got my new email server, I have had very little spam in my email box. Sure I get one or two a day, but it is not like it used to be.
So, HOW do we get rid of SO MUCH spam mail?
The BIGGEST CULPRIT of Spam is FFA LINK pages. Now, I know many people feel that since they agreed to receive this junk mail in exchange for placing their link that it is not spam. Well, SPAM is basically unwanted EMAIL. Do you WANT to receive all these emails?
Many business who host an FFA LINK page do it for one reason and one reason only - FOR YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS! I am not saying ALL FFA Link pages do this, but MOST of them do. If you submit to FFA LINK pages, you can be guaranteed at least 100 emails a day. And then all the follow-up emails after that, so it is never-ending. You will be automatically subscribed to ezines and newsletters, which you never personally subscribed to. But somewhere on the FFA page in real small writing is your agreement. In fact, alot of these newsletters even put on top of their publication, that you have agreed to receive this newsletter by subscribing, corresponding with them, or placing your LINK on their FFA page.
Of course the owners of FFA Pages will not agree with me. But,
if you want complete honesty-
-you will not increase traffic to your site.
-you will not reach thousands and millions of people to view your ad.
-you will not even be able to keep your link there for more than one day.
(and that is good for FFA pages. Normally you are off within hours).
-So WHY post to FFA sites when you are off of them in hours or a day?
-So WHY post to FFA sites when your email box is flooded with Emails?
-So WHY post to FFA sites to gain exposure when all you get is hundreds
-of emails selling their product?
-Don't you want people to read about YOUR product?
-Don't you want people to see YOUR link?
-Don't you want people emailing you about YOUR product?
FFA LINK pages do you more harm than good. The time and energy you spend at posting to these links, could be time and energy spent on doing something productive for your business. These pages are there only to get your email address. Many of these pages have members who pay to get your email address and spam you. These are called, "Opt-In email Lists for SALE, or for RENT". That is where many of these companies get their addresses. Don't get me wrong, I am sure there are legit ones out there, but they are few and far between.
It does state in small writing on the site that when you submit to these pages, you are agreeing to receive all these email messages. But what kind of business would want to send an email to someone who is not personally asking for it? WHY? People who do post to FFA LINKS will never read it, just delete it. So what is the point? It is like a cat and mouse game that will never end. So, is that what you really want? Because it does not stop there. Your email address is added to spam databases, and posted to opt-in mailing lists (real "opt-in", huh?). NOW, your email address is a pawn for spammers. Every piece of software for harvesting email addresses will grab yours, and now your email address is for sale everywhere.
Do yourself a favor....
There are so many ways to do productive advertising. Stay away
from FFA LINKS. You will make NO money, and you will be a
VICTIM of constant SPAM.
When I was a newbie, I submitted to every FFA link I could find. Gee, submitting your link to hundreds of thousands of possible clients? And for FREE? How could you go wrong? It was SO easy!
I would wake up the next morning with hundreds of emails in my box. In my opinion, YES it is SPAM! Because I DO NOT WANT THEM! I posted to an FFA LINK page, that is all. I HAD to agree to receive some emails, but not HUNDREDS!!! That was the only way to get my link on the page! I was in for a rude awakening. Not one thread of business came through and I could not desifer what was JUNK MAIL, and what was business.
I literally had to get another email account. I do not touch FFA Pages, and I get an average of a few spam mails a day. Everything else is business. I love it! I will never totally get rid of spam. In fact, now it is a pleasure, because I just reply with my AD. Anyone who does business online is guaranteed to receive some. But if you want to get rid of the hundreds of emails in your box, then STOP POSTING TO FFA Pages! They are, in fact, the biggest culprit of SPAM.
Most successful businesses have learned to stay away from FFA Pages. These practices are not part of a successful business. They are part of a desperate ploy to make money without spending any.
Now, not everyone will agree with what I am saying, however, the facts are in front of you. You decide whether you want to deal with all the junk mail. I, for one, can say that it is a pleasure doing business online, now that I do not have to wake up to hundreds of spammers.
You can save yourself alot of headaches by NOT falling VICTIM to SPAMMERS!

I received a comment from a subscriber about last issue's topic, zwallet email addresses:
The reader writes:
I was a member of zWallet for a couple of months. In that time I had all of the e-mail in my inbox vanish once (around 30 e-mails), I had e-mails I forwarded show up with no message body and I lost numerous lists because of continual bouncing. I sent two messages to their support department and received no response to either. I could not, in all conscience, recommend their service to anyone.
Response:
I am still a member of zWallet simply because I haven't deleted my account. However, I do not receive anything except spam there. I, too, had the same experiences that the reader had. Email would vanish and no response from support.
