    If you love DP, please do not do it, you will be banned no doubt. Also it is not ethical to send PMs advertising or emails to those who have not specially requested for it.

    i knew the word love is used cheaply these days...

    i'd say instead of pm spamming, start a thread 9single thread that is) offering.asking if anyone is interested in your business or your topic. If peple say yes want to check out, then send them a pm (ONLY 1 pm on that day ).

    I am shocked you would even start a thread asking such a thing. Doing it through email is considered spam, why would you think it would be ok to do in any forum? :rolleyes:

    You can instead opt to advertise for the newsletter service of digital point .... last time it was showing 75k members with cost of .1$/member ... total cost around $7.5k for one email :p Worth it if you have something specific for webmasters :D

    No, you can't do that. Unless you want to see the word "banned" under your username. :rolleyes:

    I've never received one either. Maybe it's only apart of the main site not the forum...
