Email Spamming

Is it called Spamming if you send emails to people in forums and message boards who are looking for something in particular and you provide them a source in email form? What are the rules to this? Thanks

 

You have to read the rules that are given by forum, one thing is sure that if you break forum rules you'll be banned !

 

If you send them personal emails, no one can stop you.

 

I think you should PM them first and then mail them if they are OK with it.

 

Most forums would have rules against this, just read them before you do anything at all.

 

If it's actually relevant to them in what they want and not linked in some obscure way, say they're looking for a domain but you offer a marketing service, then it would be ok. If you feel like it is actually spam then it probably won't be ok.

 

I don't think its a spam,but people don't like to open the url in email/

 

If you send me selfpromotion when I did not ask for it, this is spamming to me.
If you build a relation and you tell me that you can do this and that, there's more chance you'll get my business

 

Why not have your signature linked to your website/product? Then people can click on it if they are interested.

 

Always PM first, but before that, I would join the discussions and ask them (or tell them what you can offer) to PM you if they're interested.
