I was sent an e-mail by the owner of this site today, so she's started off on the wrong foot as far as I'm concerned by spamming

Claire love, everyone's at it!! People are doing specific areas, like one dedicated to building, for example! You could have your own for art, Nigel could have his own for Fencing. It's just a different way of having a links page I think.

Whilst we're on the subject, look how much Alex Tew's last 1000 pixels are going for on the eBay auction.

Who would pay that much...:?! And look at what you're getting: that little rectangle in the middle!

I can't understand this at all.

Will people really sit there like monkeys moving their mice over these tiny images trying to find a service?

Do they just randomly click around the page, see what pops up and buy something from the resulting website?

Most of the images have no information on what they're selling, just logos.

Am I missing something here? Can somebody explain to me how an online seller can increase sales by 20, 30 or 40%? (as quoted in a different thread).

Okay, I've just read Liam's message, and I suppose that would go some way to explaining it, but I still find it difficult to believe that sales could be increased by such a high percentage.

Hi Claire

Ive been on the www.pinkmilliondollars.com website and I for one think its great as it encourages girl power and entrepreneurship.

Spamming unfortunately is a way of business life in the 21st century, and although there are no real controls over it, it can sometimes be of benefit especially if it is inviting you to be part of a company that promotes what you do even more so.

I also get spammed and its usually porn or rubbish emails, but I think if you wrote a forum post for every spam message you got, you could most probably fill a whole forum just by yourself!!!

I wish you luck in whatever you do claire... maybe you shouldn't take life so seriously.

Is she/he Gary or Sabrina? I suspect just a Gary - no woman is going to say a business supports 'girl power' - is this waht Gary thinks a woman would say? Blimey, the Spice Girls appealed to 12 years olds a decade ago.

And to say that spam is a fact of business and unregulated is rubbish. Spam is illegal. Spammers are being fought against. Spam, if it continues at the same rate of increases, will create such a huge log-jam that it will make the internet unuseable.

to behonest i think you need to leave the firl along, YES we have seen it all and heard it all before lots of times. But when i tell people about milliondollarhomepage.com people are like what? whats that? so there are a lot of people out there who dont know about it. Give her a chance stick by your rules, and let her prove us wrong, let her prove she can make it work.
