Email Extractor Tools

I have just been reading about email extraction tools, this guy shows you how to extract emails from a google search.

I'm new to this but isn't this spamming? Or is there a place for email extraction as a way of marketing.

It just doesn't seem ethical to me. :confused:

    This is not something that you want to do. This "method" has been around for a very long time but the results are often disappointing for you. Read about co-registration leads online. These leads can help you get that all important mailing list that we all seek.

    If you scrape leads from Google, you would have to send each individual a email requesting that thay allow you to send them an email. These people are professional marketers if you are getting them from Google's Adword, or Adsense customers and they don't want any more emails from newbies trying to sell them anything. They will come after you... So think about it before you do it.

    There are lots of ways of scraping email addresses but in reality apart from spamming, the response to contacting "scraped" emails will be pretty low and you'll probably get loads of hassle in terms of spam complaints.

    Apart from being unethical, it's not worth the hassle.

    I'd always recommend building your own list and managing the list with something like Aweber.

    Hope that helps - Dave
    Thanx Dave, That is what I am doing but without much success any tips on building a list without spending a fortune?

    There's always an ethical way to use data, if you try hard enough.

    Imagine that I have a dog grooming list with thousands of people on it.

    Now imagine that I find PLR to a big book on poodle grooming for $250.

    Of course, poodle grooming may not be interesting to my list. They aren't necessarily poodle groomers.

    So I can scrape emails from a "poodle grooming" search and see how many people on my list are in there.

    If there are enough of them, I can buy the $250 poodle PLR and promote it to my list.

    On the other hand, I can also just mail the list and say "Hey, I was just curious... would anyone on the list be interested in a book that was only about grooming poodles?"

    So yeah, you could use it ethically, if you tried hard enough. But there's probably a faster and easier way to do the same thing.

    From what I understand the rules regarding unsolicited emails are regulated by the American government through CAN Spam Compliant Act. There requirements and conditions are clearly defined and straight forward on their website. Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to 'post' the link, however they can quickly be found on Google.
