Internet Marketers Suck
Published May 6, 2011
I’ve been noticing an alarming trend in internet marketing. The cool thing about getting into someone’s autoresponder is that there’s always a removal link on the bottom of each email so you can unsubscribe when you’ve had enough of their bullshit selling. What I’ve been noticing lately is that these once honorable marketers are exporting their AWeber lists and importing them into Gmail and spamming their opt-in lists. Only thing is, Gmail doesn’t have removal links. Pisses me off, especially when they have to shoot out an email every f*cking time some new ClickBank P.O.S. “next-best-thing” gets released. JHC! They don’t even buy it themselves before they promote that crap. I call it Vampire Marketing – too damn stupid or lazy to create their own quality product so they suck money via other peoples’ bullshit products. get the shovel…

Totally agreed with your sayings as this pisses me off too!! They just lack basic senses which certainly waste their own time plus sending some spam’s which are ruthless!! They feel that sending & outsourcing such snazzy stuffs can lead them a good business, but they tend to forget that customers are even more realistic & more informative then them which leaves me the option of just waving a Good-bye to them!! Suckers!!! I agree with your term “Vampire Marketing”!!!
Why can’t Google stop such kind of absurd & sleek marketing tactics which definitely makes everyone very irritating which is again a kind of altogether anger state, but we can infuriate over Internet mails right? These Vampire marketing tactics are very notorious!!! I hate those stuffs!!!
I totally agree and am myself fed up of spam mails and internet marketing. Whether it’s in my email or the social networking sites that I use, I find them super irritating. Jordan is right and I too wonder why these people waste their and our time! Wu’s question makes complete sense as to why can’t Google stop all this. I hope some regulatory body tackle this issue soon.
George has given a good idea about the regulatory body. Something really needs to be done. Can’t we file a complaint anywhere? I tried having two email ids, one for personal use and the other to mention in all the official papers. I get a lot of spam in the id that I mention everywhere, but now my personal id is safe no more. When I see I have some unread emails, I immediately want to see what they are. And finding these spam emails really spoil my mood. I am fed up of deleting them!
A regulatory body! No guys, I don’t think it would work. With a bulk of stuff like this, it would be very difficult to filter data and decide what’s spam and what’s not. Internet marketers are very smart and would find a way out. Why to spend so much of money and other resources in setting up a separate body when we know it’s not going to work!
I am not a techie and don’t know how does all this work, but if a solution is available then should definitely be applied to get rid of all this spam stuff. My social networking sites are becoming a pain, so does my email. It delays my work and moreover irritates me like anything. My gmail inbox too gets spam these days, despite a separate spam folder!
I guess people are getting smarter and skipping gmail’s spam filter very easily. See guys, I know spams are frustrating and I am sailing in the same boat. But to keep up our efficiencies, lets not get bothered too much. Scan through your inbox and jump to the relevant mails while deleting others. And I have created my own filter that saves my inbox from emails with subjects like – buy, higher studies, credit card etc. You may try this too.
Yea, yea, yea, @R. Lee. Been there, doing that, day after day. Only thing is, the smart ones create unfilterable emails, changing them up every time. Can’t even block them by IP because that changes, too. Only the dumb spammers keep the message content consistent. But you’re right, I read the important stuff and toss the rest. I usually only create a filter when I see the same message more that 2-3 times. I create the filters on the web server so they never hit my inbox.
