1. Top Sponsor's Message

 

Are you ready for eBay Success?

So many people are trying to build a web-site and then trying desperately to get traffic on their web-site. Why not simply go to where the traffic is? Go to eBay! You don't even need a web-site! (If you have a web-site get ready for a serious TRAFFIC BOOST). What's the secret? 

It's right under your nose! 

The 12th most visited site on the Internet is eBay. I have discovered a simple way to profit from that HUGE volume of traffic. There are 41 million members & 1.5 Billion page views per month on eBay. I am taking full advantage of that traffic. I promise you have never been exposed to ideas like these. Earn a serious income with a part-time effort!

 

 

2. First Word

 

 

Hi All! 

 

It's always nice to hear from readers, especially ones as respected as my friend Dennis Gaskill. Even when he takes me to task over an item I've printed! Dennis has some valuable thoughts about SpamNet, which I'm delighted to share with you in our first item. 

 

I'm happy to report that we have a fix for those of you who are suffering from those spam pop-up Messenger ads. We've raised the problem a few times, now it's nice to have an answer.

 

Thought For the Week:

 

"A real goal grabs you and pulls you through everything that gets in your way. You don't really have to drive yourself because the energy comes from the goal, from a future event, not from you."

- Charles Burke

 

Till next time,


John

SpamNet- A Contrary View

 

Last issue, we featured a service called SpamNet, suggesting it was a good spam-fighting tool. As with many facets of this rotten spam issue,  people can agree about defining a problem, and agree on a desired outcome, without agreeing on the means! Regular readers will know the high regard in which I hold my friend, Dennis Gaskill (aka Boogie Jack). Shortly after the Issue went out Dennis sent me the following message, which I'd like to share with you...

 

Hi John,

I'm surprised to see you promoted SpamNet as a solution to spam.

All someone has to do is forget they subscribed to Web Marketing Ezine and report it as spam as soon as the first issue hits their inbox, and boom, you're a spammer. Or what if an unethical competitor reports you as a spammer just to lower the competition level? You can easily
be wrongly reported as a spammer for any number of reasons, and it happens all the time.

I was recently reported to SpamCop because a husband signed up for my newsletter and his wife was the first to check their email the day my newsletter went out, and she reported me as a spammer because she didn't know he subscribed. I've never spammed anyone in my life, but I was reported as one to another pseudo-spam authority.

Services like this sound like a good idea because we would all like an easy solution, but these kind of services end up hurting innocent people all the time. Self appointed censors are not the solution - unless you want to harm your business - because sooner or later, you'll end up on the wrong side of pseudo-spam police. I hope you'll reconsider your position.

All the best to you, Dennis

I admire Dennis, and always respect his opinion. WME readers deserve to hear both sides on this important issue. Be sure to sign up for his newsletter when you visit his site!

Killing Those Spam Messenger Popup Ads In Windows

Months ago, we advised readers using Windows that there was a new spamming method, which used the Messenger service to pop-up ads on their screens. We said we'd get back to you when there was a fix. Here are the instructions for disabling the Messenger service for Windows XP. XP Home Edition, 2000, and NT. Unfortunately, the Messenger service can't be disabled in Windows 98.

Go here, to kill the spam Messenger pop-up ads.
