    Is there a way for us to harvest email address? I am talking about different niche where I can get their email and sending them promotion letter. Any idea? Please help. Thanks

    You can setup a landing page with email capture which will be legit but slower, or you can do what some people do and set a scrapper that scour the net and look for emails which will be faster but not really advised if you dont know what youre doing.

    My suggestion and this can be used together. Scraping emails is illegal and isn't recommended unless you want to end up with a criminal record and a large fine.

    Double opt-in is the only way to go with email's these days. There are many strict spamming and mailing list laws, especially in the US with the CAN-SPAM Act.
