Is this Spam? [experienced email marketers chime in please]
I have a quick question. I am in process of experimenting sending mass emails. Before i ask my question, let me say this. I took James Martell's Backlink workshop. In that he preaches contacting link partners from the whois database information, and mailing them individually asking to syndicate contents on their site provided by you which carries links pointing back to your site. He calls this method PAD technique. I know many of you are aware of this one. If not you can read from his ebook, just google for it.
Now, with the magic of autoresponders, is sending a bulk mail a spam? I know i have to ask that to james martell and oh yeah! in that course he clearly states that unsolicited one-on-one mailing is not a spam. But he did not shed light on the bulk mailing. Lets say i have collected some 1000 contacts(Email, firstname, their site's google PR) for my niche. Instead of contacting them one-on-one, why not import those into an autoresponder and bulk mail them, they wont know it anyway! Which is my arguement. Also when they hit reply to the email, i have a system to catch that and transfer it to my email address. Also i use an hosting account especially for this experiment with a pen name and an alternate paypal, so no foot mark left to trace me back!
I am just about to begin this, but before i want to open a healthy discussion here.
If you have anything to say please reply in detail. Just dont say "hey that's a spam" cause it doesn't help Since we all know that sending bulk unsolicited mails is spam, atleast that's what the dictionary says!
Anyone please reply me!
Best,
Esh
