Email marketing

    I have been using Microsoft Link Builder for the past month or so to send out weekly site news etc.

    It works out to being quite expensive cos the top package only allows me up to 10 000 emails a month - you then have to pay $3 for each additional 1000. I am sending out at least 10000 a week so it is starting to cost me quite a bit of money

    I have come across this comany through google adwords: .inetgiant.com

    but not sure what to make of it. They promise a great deal but are they just another spaming company? Does anyone know of any other bulk mail-out companies that i can use that are safe?

    Email marketing is considered SPAM unless users submit the content between each other themselves.

    All email addresses targeted have given their permission - this is therefore not spam. That is correct right?!

    Ok, you meant a newsletter, it is ok. I understood you just send email without user permission

    Thanks for the heads up! Does anyone know of any other companies that manage e-mail marketing campaigns?

    I need to send out around 15000 emails a week (i already have the email addresses - cannot do it from my own server due to size restrictions and hosting rules etc...

    inetgiant.com = not a good company and many have had very bad expierences with them. Check the BBB records and research before you think about giving them your CC #.
