Default Do You Use a Junk E-Mail To Opt In?

Do you? Like if you have to opt in every single time you want to go to the next page or to get a freebie... Do you use a junk email or do you unsubscribe, or do you stay on the list?

Depends on how serious I am about buying something, or if I'm just doing some trolling..

I use email addresses in the form listxxx@... where xxx is a number that tracks the particular list that I have signed up for. Helps to track problems with people who sell on email addresses and also provides a water tight way to "unsubscribe" if required.

Yes I do - if I like the newsletter then I still can change the email address to a "real" address after a while.

I use a GMail account, and append +codeword to the end of my username.

ie: If my gmail address was fred@gmail.com and I wanted to create a tracking address for superduper PLR, then I'd sign up as fred+superduper@gmail.com

You can instantly create an unlimited number of coded email addresses on the one gmail account, and then filter to folders, block, or unsubscribe to your hearts content.
Cheers, Eric G.

Default Re: Do You Use a Junk E-Mail To Opt In?

I have a Yahoo premium account which allows me to create unlimited disposable email addresses, which I use to sign up for things, use on my websites and newsletters, etc. The addresses never expire though, so I can keep using them indefinitely.

The only way I delete an address is if I've first tried to unsubscribe the usual way - and deleting it is my only other option to stop a flood of email that I no longer want.
