Novel Free-For All Idea
------------------------------------------------------------
Almost anyone who has tried submitting to free-for-all sites will
say that they are no longer worth the effort as a traffic
generating tool. Automated FFA submissions to "millions" of sites
are also not that useful as most of these sites are only ever
"visited" by automated submission scripts and not by human eyes.
The only thing these auto submission tools achieve is to get
your e-mail address bombarded with "confirmation" e-mail from the
FFA page owners. Many unsuspecting users who submitted their
personal e-mail address to these submission tools have suffered
incredible frustrations because of the "spam" they receive.
(Technically they are confirmatory e-mail that the submitters
agreed to receive.)
However. one previous "victim" of confirmatory "spam" managed to
turn the tables around with a very ingenious twist to the
process. He basically submitted his web site using the FFA auto
submission tools and agreed to get the "millions" of confirmatory
email...but submitted an e-mail address that led to an
autoresponder that replied back to these emails with a "thank you
for your offer which I'm considering...please have a look at my
web site in the meantime" type e-mail.
Incidentally, Outlook Express also has message rule function
which we can use to achieve a similar effect.This is good because
some autoresponder services do not allow their e-mail addresses
to be submitted to FFA sites (do so at your own risk!). Simply
click on "tools", "message rules", "mail", "mail rules", "new",
"where the message is from the specified account"(the e-mail
account you intend to receive confirmatory "spam" with), and
"reply with message", then specify the message you want to reply
with.
Don't forget to also freely distribute your e-mail address to
multiple mailing lists, classified ads sites, and anywhere that
is likely to get your address "spammed". The best part is when
bulk e-mail address harvesters pick up your e-mail address and
start selling it to other "spammers", you'll be promoting your
site to many people with absolutely no effort on your part at
all!
Have fun with this one.
