Should You Send "Removes" back to Spammers?

Information from SpamHaus

Do you keep clicking "remove" links in spams, sending back "remove me" requests to spammers, yet your spam volume only seems to be increasing? Here's why.

Most spammers send out anything from 1 million up to 100 million spams every day to address lists scraped from all over the Internet, harvested from sites and insecure mail servers, stolen from millions of computers using viruses to grab the contents of users' address books, bought from other spammers, from spam address list CDROMs, etc. Spammers do not know which of the millions of addresses on their lists are real, which are working or not, they're simply spraying adverts at every address they can find.

Then you send the spammer a "remove me" message. Now he knows your address is real. And that's not all he knows...

By sending back a 'remove me' opt-out request you are confirming to the spammer that your address is live, you are confirming that your ISP doesn't use spam filters, you are confirming that you actually open and read spams, and that you follow the spammer's instructions such as "click this to be removed". You are the perfect candidate for more spam.

A live address is a valuable address, spammers sell live addresses at a premium as "confirmed deliverable" addresses to yet more spammers. If you don't want your address to end up on endless spammers' lists, distributed on spam CDROMs to spammers worldwide, do not confirm to the spammer that your address is real and working.

Never Opt-out of lists you did not Opt-in to in the first place.

No ethical or responsible company will ever send you unsolicited bulk email. Anyone sending you unsolicited bulk email, no matter how legitimate it may look, is a spammer. Anyone subscribing your email address to a mailing list without your explicit verifiable consent, sending you unsolicited bulk mailings telling you that you must "opt-out" or they'll keep sending, is in breach of all recognized Internet Service Provider policies and in breach of the law in countries where spamming is banned (Europe, Australia, etc.).

Never reply to spammers. Instead, help yourself and others by filing a spam complaint with the spammer's ISP. (if you don't know how to trace the spammer's ISP, use the SpamCop spam-reporting service to file spam complaints for you.)

Great Advertising site called Nexus Gate.

If anyone is interested, I just found an amazing site while surfing the net yesterday. I actually saw the banner on a well known site and decided to click on it. Let me tell you, I am so glad I did.

The site is called Nexus Gate and was developed by a guy named Shane Wilson. I know you may not believe this but he has actually researched over 300 of the best places to advertise your product, service or site. He has 20 reports now and more are in the works. The reports consist of:

* Banner Advertising
* Tool Bar Advertising
* Groups
* Forums
* Press Release sites
* Article Submission Sites
* List Building sites
* List Purchasing sites
* Miscellaneous Great Sites
* Pay Per Click Sites
* and many more

The best part is, every site listed in the above reports are the best of the best.

Not to leave you hanging, he also has a book called "Profit Generating Offers" which explains how to turn browsers into buyers. This is a perfect compliment to the reports because let's face, once we get the traffic to our site we need it to convert.

He also has an incredible affiliate program which pays out 90% commission per sale.

Look, you need to quit reading this and head over to Nexus Gate and see what I am talking about.

Bit of Humour!

LOOK AFTER YOUR WIFE...

A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting on the poop deck, drinking beer and having a smoke watching my wife mow the lawn.

Cheryl from next door saw us and was so upset that she came over and yelled at me...."You lazy bum! Sitting there drinking beer while your poor wife pushes that ancient lawn mower around! Get up and give her a break!"

I thought "Women!" Took another swig from my stubby, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted my sunnies, stared directly at this nosey cow and told her in no uncertain terms "Sod off and mind your own business. My wife has green fingers, and she really enjoys gardening".

After a few days I felt really bad , so I went out and bought her a ride-on mower to show my sensitive side. I am so proud of the deal I got. I am also proud that my wife can now sit down while mowing the lawn. Yes guys, after all, we should take good care of our wives ... that way maybe they will take good care of us.



I'M TOO BLOODY SOFT WITH HER. SHE WILL WANT GEARS ON IT NEXT.
