B2B Tip #48 - Spam is not your Mama's lunchmeat ...
.
Spam, shmam ... what's the big deal? Well ...

I spend the first few minutes of every day deleting email spam.

I get vocal spam from telemarketers all during my day.

I stand by the trash can and throw away direct mail spam every day.

I pass billboard spam every time I drive.

I use my trusty remote to avoid TV spam as often as possible.

I get fax spam that costs me real dollars every day.

Now - these vermin are figuring a way to spam the blogs.

They've perverted every communication method known to man.

They won't stop.

Live with it.

The somewhat now-indiginous spam is not your mama's lunchmeat any more. And remember that commercial that said "Parts is parts"? Spam is spam ...

Well - every way we invent to communicate with one another is going to be exploited and perverted by those groups of people who can't, won't, and don't market legitimately, and who will take every shortcut they can scheme up to try to get to the Wizard's Castle faster than Dorothy, Toto, and the crew.

Yeah - spammers are so low, they're under the barrel - not the bottom of the barrel.

And the people who make the real money doing this nonsense are the illegitimate open relays, catch-all URLs and redirects, and the offshore bulk emailers.

The rest of us suffer through it, and it's not going to change any time soon, regardless of the spam legislation that is enacted or not (which hurts real marketers far more than the "spammer trash.")

All the best -
