Is AOL Spam Reporting Banning Your Site? By: Martin Lemieux

As I read repparttar awful truth of repparttar 100849 nature of aol's new spam reporting from their 9.0 version, I left with a knot within my stomach. Have they gone too far?

Last week I received a message from my hosting company notifying me that AOL has just banned them completely from ever sending aol members any e-mail messages. Sadly my hosting company told me that it was because of my newsletter.

Not only were they banned but in order to lift repparttar 100850 ban they either had to; a) Prove that my company does not indulge in bulk mailing or b) Delete my account entirely!

If you're thinking ouch, you are so right!

So I went through my e-mail list and realized that only one, I repeat, there was only ONE e-mail account found from aol!

Here's repparttar 100851 sad truth, one person, one voice hit their "Spam Report" button to aol because they received a message from my company and presto, aol set's a ban on all repparttar 100852 servers assigned to my hosting provider.

Is this fair?

I mean do we really hate spam so much as to having repparttar 100853 ability to hurt people's future? The thing is it wasn't even spam!!!

Here's another sad reality, my newsletter has a "double opt in". So in other words, not only do you need to submit your information but you also have to go back and confirm your e-mail address after you submitted it to my company.

ADVERTISE!

ADVERTISE!

Early to bed, Early to rise, Work like crazy, and ADVERTISE!

Do you know what happens when you don't advertise? NOTHING!

With so many kinds of advertising available, how do you know which method fits you and your product? Advertising falls into four basic categories, as follows:

1. Tell People! Simple isn't it. But so many people don't tell people about their product or business. Print advertising is still repparttar most popular form, with repparttar 100848 internet not far behind. But remember - running an ad once is just a waste of money. It takes anywhere from 4 to 7 publications before an ad registers with repparttar 100849 public.
