Ross,

You have to pic and choose whose emails to read I have a few I’ve been subscribing to for last few years but most never make it past first few emails. If it is not useful to you – just unsubscribe. Sometimes legitimate emails are perceived as spam simply because message within is not right for you at that moment …

Hi Alex,

I think I’ll be coming here more often. I can’t resist to learn new things from your site, both from you and from peoples’ comments. We all hate spam. Sometimes you get not to notice legitimate emails because of too many spam emails.

The post is from last year but still full of good points that those just starting out with email marketing should follow. You have to build a list of double-opt in readers and never purchase a list or rent one. You never really know what you are getting.

John,

As you can see in comments to this post – aweber CEO Tom Kulzer have commented and made it clear it is against aweber TOS. As such I do continue to provide a valid email address. I simply had to create one that is less monitored then my regular email and notify people of that while providing direct explanation on how to get more timely support if needed.

What I see a lot of the big companies doing is, they set the responder to a no reply email. It is a valid email, but it is not monitored and when someone sends a message to it, it sends an auto reply reminding them that it is a no reply email. It is easy enough to provide a contact email that you actually monitor below the signature, in the email body. People will see it, bots may not.

You've got to be kidding, I'd love to know who teaches that, and where along the path they believe it to work? Someone went through your double opt-in to subscribe an address that autoresponds back to you with spam. That seems like an aweful lot of work. I know a lot of my collegues use a service (forget the name of it now) that intercepts your emails and requires the original sender to reply back to confirm their human before becoming a safe sender. Perhaps you could put the reply address to something like this to avoid receiving the spam message. .-= Kevin McKillop´s last blog ..Link Building With Comment Luv =-.

I have yet to build a list but know it needs to be in my plans somewhere down the road. I had no idea people where actually doing this. I will admit it is pretty creative but I do agree that it is wrong and it is SPAM. .-= Josh´s last blog ..Best WordPress Real Estate Themes =-.
