Spam Arrest: Why Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways…
April 8, 2008Not much time to write a full article today, but just going through my significantly Spam-free email inbox, I figured I’d write a quick ode to one of my absolute greatest discoveries ever: Spam Arrest.
As an online marketer, I probably sign up online for anything from 3-10 different things a week - free software trials, site memberships, newsletters, reports, white papers - you name it. Sometimes I really want what I’m signing up for, and sometimes I just need to see what other people are doing - so I can copy! Haha!
As an email marketer I understand that each of these signups means I’m going to receive anything from 1 to 100 emails from each site I sign up at (!!!) - but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Before I discovered this lovely thing called Spam Arrest, I was literally receiving at LEAST 120 junk messages per day, per email address that went into my Outlook. I have SEVEN email addresses in there. DO THE MATH.
So Spam Arrest, why do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
-
You send an automated challenge email to everyone who writes me, to weed out the undesirables
-
You forward only the "good" email I actually want to my Inbox, and leave all the undesirables in a separate folder - lost in cyberlimbo until I say they’re ok. HAHAH! SUCK IT, Spammers!
-
You keep a copy of all my email online, so I can access it from anywhere…
-
You’re cheap…
…and so much more. Like I said, not much time today. Admittedly, there still are some doggedly determined Spammers who still get through - but my Outlook junk filter takes care of those. … And seriously - 3 or 4 pieces of junk compared to over a thousand (???) is perfectly fine by me.
