3 Million Emails
02-11-2006, 08:18 PM
  #1  

Someone's selling me 3 million email addresses plus a bulk emailer. She said that I can market my sites to 3 million emails at once.

If you were in my shoes, would you buy the list? If yes, would you buy it for $1 per 1,000 email addresses?

Thanks!

I'd rather buy a bucket of old nun's spit...

I hope these 3 million people who's email addresses you are being supplied are all "opt-in" and it isn't just 3 million harvested emails? You could end up being one of the internet's lowest lifeforms THE SPAMMER

Even if these people are all opt-in, what is to say that they will want whatever you plan on trying to sell them? Do your homework, target your customers and save your money for a properly organised advertising campaign.

Sorry - That's one of my less "sensitive" quotes

If somebody is giving you the list of 3 million e-mail ids then be careful to validate the trustworthiness of those contacts. In some part of the world the cyber laws are very strict and if you get caught in spamming you may face severe crisis.......

FORGET IT!!!!!

Just image if 1/10 of the emails aren't valid how many mailer demon or message is undeliverable reply's you would get, it would crash your server, and probably get you banned.

Theres a sucker born everyday, don't be one of them......

I open my email everymorning, and even after the spam assisins and spm catcher have takened their lot out, I still get about 100 spams after my compauters been turned off for 5 hours. I have 7 email addresses, please don't make it 107 emails I have to sit on the delete button and delete.
