    yeah dont do spam email marketing. it's not really worth money you spent (except it's really cheap) 10k$ is way too much for it. you can do much better with those money in the way of building links and bring traffic to your site which surely can make you more sales.
    if you really got those 750mils for 7$ go for it (it's cheap) but i would say email marketing got like 1-2% CTR only (maybe less)

    Oh, and if you are going to go ahead with this, I just saw this ad on the top right hand corner in DP.

    "Email your ad to 5,000,000+ people spam-free!
    Increase your sales by 1300% overnight!"

    Its from this site.

    1% CTR is more than good.

    Hi, always question the source of the leads. Such a huge number could get you in big trouble with SPAM law. ;)

    I think that is too expensive, and I dont' think it's legit.
    There are many programs out there which make fake email lists.

    $ 10,000 for e-mails to spam...with that kind of budget, you can do much better. I know what I would invest in, and it's not a bunch of damned scraped three-year-old e-mail addresses. If you really want to market to e-mail boxes, you can sponsor e-zines and not break the law. Your ROI would be better, too.
    Seriously, India's a poor country...couldn't you start a more responsible business that would let you enrich your community?

    Isn't obtaining (and selling) this email information against the data protection act?

    I certainly wouldnt want my email address (and any other details) bought and sold.

    Let me get this straight, basically you are looking for a mail list with millions of emails?

    Let me tell you one thing; spending those 10k on that is plain useless, and will trust me, be your worst investment you've made so far.

    You would be better of buying Coca cola's and give them for free outside lol, and put an advertising emblem on it, haha.

    Joking, but you could do so much better, you could buy advertising solutions on high traffic web sites, and boost your traffic, and sales.

    Just my 2 cents.

    There are similar instances in the US.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18955115/

    Though that story involves a bit more then just buying and using a bunch of email addresses.

    If I ever found out who in the USA was selling that list for 10K and my personal data was among that list? I would file a class action lawsuit and press lawful charges against the scum bag..

    that seems very expensive. imagine how many other people are already banging away at that list. get some feedback from some of the spammers here, i am sure they will agree this is not a good buy

    unless you create your own lists or get it from a solid source, you will be wasting your money. there is tons of money to be made spamming emails if you know what you are doing, but if you just buy random overpriced email addresses you are sure to fail. dont forget about the proxies you will need to buy too, those are not cheap. good luck!

    hey.. read it carefully.


    It means that you can send anyone any number of genuine emails whether they requested the same or not....till he/she does not unsubscribe.


    And what else?

    Does not that mean.. take any list .. mail them.. even if 1% emails are good.. you will earn.
