    Hi i recentley come across an ip advertising software in my collection i am understod it delivers messages direct to the screens of the ip address.

    What i seem confused about is i have never recieved one of these messages myself and if it was so easy to do this wouldnt everyone be doing it.


    What are your thoughts or experiences with this type of advertising.

    It doesn't work nearly as well as it used to a few years ago. Most people have their messenger service turned off or disabled which would stop the messenger popup from appearing.

    But is this type of messaging not illegal as it sounds like spam but in a different form.

    Well if it smells like spam.. Then it probably is spam (sure sounds that way to me)...

    So I would stay of this sort of advertising if I was you ;)

    Im not sure if it's illegal but right now I don't think so but it is spam and not really the best way to advertise anything.

    I agree i tested it with a domain and site i dont use it said 9087 messages were delivered and i got no increase in traffic at all so i think this type of advertising is not worth doing at all.
