Sorry for inconveniencing your inbox.

I appreciate the thoughtfullness in the way you brought it to my attention, considering it was the first time we have emailed you.

[adrianm]

I am not saying you should not send such invitation. But I am not going out there and email PartyPoker, Casinoonnet and others to become my affiliates.
You used a mail forger to gather everyone email and didn't bothered to check who is a potential advertiser and who isn't. This is SPAM!!!

Hi CLub World

You did get caught out. After all, Mihai has his own programs to worry about

Truth is, you shouldn't use any tactic to gather mails. I never subscribed to any of your mailers and got one too. I am less likely to shout about it though but if you go through the LONG list of posts here, you will find that many affiliates don't like unsubscribed mailers in their inbox. Well, at least you didn't offer me bigger body parts Man, I hate those!

Anyway, no damage done. I am sure you will have a huge list soon from your forum anyway.

hi brian,

point taken and i didnt mean any harm by sending out the new offer.
hope you will join and be happy working with us.

sorry mihai

I was looking at your games and especially the slots. Quite a range of the unusual there. I may just take you up on your offer

[clubworld]

glad you liked them, the games are really smooth and they are different.

i am quite partial to the fixed odds games, very addictive, matterhorn drives me mad.

best regards

steve

I got the mail as well and deleted it immediately.

However, I've since joined as you became members of the GPWA.

You'll probably find that getting affiliates in legitimate ways works better and places more trust in your program.

[clubworld]

cheers for the advice.

Are you sure this is spam? You have an obvious interest in marketing casino affiliate programs so surely someone offering a casino affiliate program is well within their rights to email you.

[bigbcasinos]

Nope

Mihai manages affiliates of his own. Point is though that it was pretty obvious that none of the respondents signed up to receive mail. If that is the case, then the mail is unsolicited. If for example you have a links page and say "mail me for link exchanges" then you must expect to receive those type of mails. If your webmaster page says "mail me for advertising offers", then expect those mails. What happened here though was that everyone received a mailer. Those who wanted it, those who asked for it, those who didn't ask for it, and even those who couldn't even use it.

Send out mailers like these and I know more than a few affiliates who bookmark to NEVER promote that program. Scary? It's true.

The point? Unless you request to receive promotional mailers, then I believe you are being spammed. If every affiliate based organisation in the world got a hold of "Jimmythehands" e-mail address and mailed him simultaneously, you would think you were under attack. LOL

There has to be some standards or else your inbox will really really keep you far away from completing your work.

This reasoning is false. If I see a player in a gambling forum who has their email address in their profile, does that give me the right to spam them since they are oviously interested in gambling? I don't think so. Any commercial email that is not solicited is spam.

Reading these threads throughout the forum is certainly helpful to a "newer" member of GPWA like myself.

Lots to learn...
