| Article Title :: Spam Cop... Public Servant Or Self- Proclaimed GOD!! |
| |
|
Everyone on the internet is concerned about the prevalence of
unsolicited email, AKA spam.
I understand their concern, but there has to be a better way to
handle the situation than through the bully tactics of elitist
groups such as Spam Cop.
I've been a target of their guilty until innocent tactics and no
matter how many times I prove that I've spammed no one they
twist the situation into it being my fault.
They remind me of the Spanish Inquisitors torturing "heretics"
at the stake, the truth be damned. They twist the wording of
emails to make any answer wrong.
I don't know how in a country like America where we're innocent
until proven guilty, it is just the opposite with the IRS and

| Article Title :: SPAM Laws of 2001" |
| |
|
For a law to take effect on the U.S. federal level, both the
House and the Senate must pass the bill and then the President
of the United States must sign the bill into law.
Last year we almost got a SPAM law on the books when House
legislators approved their version of the SPAM bill, H. R. 3113,
the "The Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail Act of 2000",
with a vote of 427-1.
However, it never came close to becoming law because the Senate
never even voted on it.
This year, there are already several attempts being made to
place SPAM under the law.
The most recognized is known as bill HR 95, which is a
re-introduction of H. R. 3113 from last year and is named: "To
protect individuals, (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Spam is no vegetable! |
| |
|
Spammers are like spiders coming from the World Wide Web and
crawling in and on your mind, head, your body and spine. Many
dictionaries do not give you the meaning of Spam. One dictionery
defines it a a vegetable. The spell check in many word
processing software would not give you its spelling!
Our unabashed dictionary defines Spam as pinching the bottom of
a girl in a crowded street.
On a crowded elevator of a sky-scrapper of a computer giant, a
shapely lass was pinched at her bottom. She turned back and
growled, " Who is spamming me?" The handsome young man behind
her looked at her in face and said, "Pardon me. I thought it was
a safe address". "Never mind, I will opt in for your mail!" (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The price of spamming search engines |
| |
|
One of the things I am constantly asked about is why doesn't my
content rich website get better placed in the search engines. I
am told that they have followed all the advice about content
rich pages, they have used good metatags, yet still cannot get
into the top 50 never mind the top 10.
Now having content rich web pages is a must do, you can't hope
to succeed on the Internet without them. It's absolutely useless
putting up web pages with nothing more than banner ads for your
affiliate programmes and expect to sell anything. Your
prospective customer has to trust you, and normally has to
return several times before they buy from you.
So if all they see is banner ads, they will just clic (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Spam: Hiding Your Email Address |
| |
|
In many instances you will want to put your email address on
your website, even if you provide a form as a contact method.
This is useful because it increases the number of ways that
someone can contact you. Why is that important? Because
presumably if you have a website you are attempting to
communicate with the world - and communication goes both ways.
If you have a commercial site then the answer should be obvious
- someone may want to purchase something.
Another reason to put an email address directly on your web page
is for people to request information via autoresponder. These
allow your visitors to click a simple mailto link and get your
promotional materials or articles in their em (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Handling Spam: Responding |
| |
|
Most spam messages will include a link at the bottom which
states something like "to remove yourself from the list click
here ...". On the surface this seems innocent enough, but if you
do respond you are potentially increasing the amount of spam
that you receive by many times.
Wait a minute. You mean you ask to be removed and instead not
only are you not removed but you will get more spam than ever?
How can that be so? To understand why you must first understand
how spamming works. You see, spammers operate by getting
zillions and zillions of email addresses however they can.
Sometimes they purchase CD collections of "15 million clean
email addresses" or "5 million email addresses" for s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Recipe - Spam Rehash |

|
What do you do with your spam? Call the authorities? Send it
back to the sender with expletive text appended? Set it to
simmer with white wine sauce? When I have leftover spam, I make
spam rehash. You'll need:
1 pop3 mailbox 1 multiple message autoresponder 1 email
extractor 1 email verifier as much spam from the market as you
can get
Mailbox must be large enough to handle leftover spam. Preferably
a pop3 account so you can manage it on your desktop. Don't use a
mailbox you don't want spammed, it's hard to get out. Free
pop3's can be found at:

| Article Title :: S.1618 - 105th Congress, Unsolicited Email! A Bunch of Bull! |
| |
|
Have you received email solicitations with this paragraph
included somewhere in the message:
"This message is sent in compliance with the new email bill
section 301. Under Bill S.1618 TITLE III passed by the 105th
U.S. Congress this message cannot be considered Spam as long as
we include the way to be removed, Paragraph (a)(c) of S.1618.
Further transmissions to you by the sender of this email may be
stopped at no cost to you by sending a request to be removed to

Well it is, in plain language, a bunch of BULL!
U.S. Senate Bill 1618, an Anti-slamming Amendments Act,
contained a Section 301, relating to transmissions of
unsolicited commercial electronic mail. S.1618 was approved by

| Article Title :: Help for Victims |

|
Now lets move on to help some spam victims. If you're doing
business online, there is a good chance that one day you will be
accused of spamming, even if you are not a spammer. The
anonymity of the Internet promotes the attitude of accuse first
and get the facts later. (I know this all too well after my
recent experience.)
Anyway, when it happens to you, you'll need some letters to send
out to both the spam victims and the company responsible for the
spam. Here are the two you should save for future reference...
Letter to spam recipients:
Thank you for contacting us. Here are the details of this
unfortunate situation.

| Article Title :: SPAM and how it can save you money! |
| |
|
There are times when we all need some clarification on what spam
really is. We all get it but seldom do we hear it defined. Spam
is very important to the success of the entrepreneur in a few
important ways. Let's define and look at it more carefully,
taking into account the old saying "there is a sucker born every
minute".
What is spam?
Spam is the garbage email that we all get daily from either get
rich quick sites or porn sites. You will rarely get spam under
any other subject. You know you are in receipt of a spam email
if you get information that you didn't specifically request. You
know you are a sucker (the one quoted above) if you decide to
buy from a spammer.
How can we stop spam (read full article) |
