Approximately 98% of all email is spam. To most people that’s a frighteningly huge number, but also makes sense to most of us given all the garbage that flows into our inboxes.

When I talk with clients about spam, their number one request is “Make it go away.” People just don’t want to ever see it, let alone have to deal with it. Sure it’s a nuisance, but what effect can it really have on the bottom line?

If you’re a webmaster who isn’t taking advantage of all that opt-in email lists have to offer, it’s very likely you’re keeping the door closed on some major revenue potential. Opt-in email lists deliver some big advantages that many fail to notice.

Opt-in email lists are rather powerful devices because they give webmasters the ability to communicate directly with visitors whenever they want. A website is passive; email is not. Instead of being at the mercy of incoming traffic to get the word out about products and services, those who create opt-in lists can contact potential buyers at any time. Since opt-in links involve a consensual sign-up process, visitors expect this form of contact. The ideas for marketing with these lists are almost endless. If these lists are available, but unutilized - use them! If they haven’t been cultivated in the past, get them going. The payoff can be big.

Marketing through email has become a very popular way of marketing today and an effective way of communicating with your customers. With the advent of the Internet and new information technology, email marketing has risen to be one of the most effective and productive means of advertising successfully.

Email is short for electronic mail. The Wikipedia definition of Email is “a store and forward method of composing, sending, storing, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems”. The term “e-mail” (as a noun or verb) applies to both to the Internet e-mail system based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT) and the intranet systems allowing users within one organization to e-mail each other.

Email Spam is Doomed!

Winning the war on spam is a tough task, but the end for spam is near. It has been a long journey for me and the company that I co-own to get a grip on the spam battle that was being waged on our email accounts. I am happy to say that we have cut our spam count by 90% across the board.

The way that spam finds its way to ones inbox is often misunderstood. First of all spam will never be a problem if an email address is never published on the Internet or used to sign up for anything.

Autoresponders are computer programs that automatically answer emails sent to it. Another way to define an autoresponder is that it is a computer program that automatically returns a pre-written message to anyone who submits email to a particular Internet email address, whether for an individual or a website. Autoresponders are widely used by websites to respond to visitor questions, suggestions or comments in a predefined way.

If you’ve ever inquired about specific information online about a product or service, or signed up for an email list or joined a membership site on the Internet, and received a nearly immediate reply in your e-mail inbox, an autoresponder program was responsible for delivering the response.
