I am sure that you have definitely come across advertisements that read: “1,000,000 email addresses for $29.99”. And these bulk mail companies can even offer you these names in a CD at your doorstep.
Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer and often sounds too good to be true.. But very often, it always sound too good to be true.
It’s just like any clueless seo services trying to place a site to number one spot in the search engines without any knowledge about web traffic and website design.
Most Internet Marketing beginners do not really know is that these bulk companies harvest the email addresses using robots and other wares on the Internet. That is how the 1,000,000 email addresses come about, whatever the amount is.
Now the part that really hurts is that if you purchase the so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming.. It is no longer a surprise how you often receive spam mails on Viagra, OEM Software and things you do not even need in your inbox.
Would you like to send your commercial emails to people you don’t know, but are expectingto recieve such mail from you? Wait, isn’t that spamming?!
That is so possible, because of the 1,000,000 names, nobody knows who you are or even ask to be subscribed to your mailing list.
On top of that, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really in use because a portion of them can either be own by the same owners (one owner can own more than 1 email accounts) or are obsolete.
When you read such ads again, tell yourself that it is a waste of money, plus you could get banned due to spamming. Better be safe than sorry..
