    WARNING!

    Do not add your website to MixCat.com's search engine. Doing so will get your signup email spammed by MixCat and other companies. MixCat is also not following the CAN-SPAM Act (USA). Every time you request to be removed from the spam list they send you spam from a different company.

    I tested several emails created solely for this purpose and on obscure domains to ensure they had not been previously used or spidered for spam. Every single time the same thing occurred. When I would get an email I would click 'suppress' and like clock-work the same spam came immediately after.

    DO NOT USE THIS SITE! DO NOT PROMOTE USELESS SPAM.


    The latest email I am getting is trying to sell me a Printer... wtf.

    I did notice a lot of spam, but I used a new Yahoo email address in case that happened (and it did).

    I added my site to mixxcat about 1 year ago and I did not receive any spam, maybe
    this is something they are doing with sites that have been recently submitted?

    Or maybe because you didn't submit a valid email... 1 year ago.

    Thanks for the tip, I never heard about this SE, but it's good to know there are spammers.

    Not just the search engine, any mixcat site!
    I got spammed and spammed and spammed from one of his directories.
    WHen I went public, he moaned and groaned and told me I was flat out lying!
    But I had the emails and everyone one from from his domain!!!
    Even had my ISP check.
    SO he changed tactics and said it must of been someone who works for him, he has tons of people who work in his company!
    Then he says he found the person responsible for the spam and that person was told never to spam me.
    So I guess that person is now spamming everyone else?????

    Just be safe and leave him and his sites alone!
