How can you send emails to thousands of people - Page 2

TheFriend, all these sites you're posting - are you affiliated with this? There are a lot of .de sites, and as you're from Germany I'm immediately suspicious.

Posting multiple links to your own sites can result in banning.

You're aware of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 right?

You can't just go around e-mailing 1000's of people unless they've opted to receive e-mail from you.

That said, you could put up some form of squeeze page where users can opt-in to receive e-mails from you. This legitimate collection of e-mail addresses is called "building a list".

This would be perfectly legitimate. You should have a double opt-in though which means that the user has to confirm their subscription by clicking on a link in an e-mail you send to them.

You should also put an unsubscribe link and your address in all e-mails you send too.

A lot of people use services like aWeber to manage their lists and send out bulk e-mails.

If all the emails are from your opt-in list, there wouldn't be any problem IMO
