Anyone use http://www.spamfreeadvertising.org?
I just purchased 300,000 emails for $99 at http://www.spamfreeadvertising.org. Has anyone else used this service? This is my first attempt at email marketing, I'll post results here as soon as my results are in.

I wouldn't like to get E-Mails from Newsletters or Companies where I didn't sign up.. I guess I wouldn't even read them.. there are some serious discussions about legality, too, at least in Europe..

On their website it says they only use opt-in emails, (the person has "opted-in to receive the email) and is in compliance with all spam laws.

I'd be curious to know how many people actually read these type of newsletters. Probably better off buying some clicks at the same price.

I'm interested. Please continue to post results. Would like to know if you're happy with spamfreeadvertising.org. Looking into purchasing a list from them.
Thanks.

So for $99 you got a good amount of hits.
Can you confirm how many, maybe to provide a vague CPC number to see if it is worth it?

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like my experience with this company http://www.i-web-marketing.com/ . I recently purchased their 50,000 visitors for $99 plan. Checking my logs, the "visitors" are coming from the same ip address over and over. Using their tracking service they only show a number of people who have "visited" my site. No ip or other tracking. I questioned them and found out that my page is being showing in a pop-up window to everyone and they are counting each pop up as a "visitor". Bummer.
To contrast the effectiveness of my page, I took out a google adword campaign and directed people to the same page on my site. With google, I was actually getting people signing up on my page. The ratio for google was about 1 for every 6 visitors. I've had over 500 people from i-web-marketing.com "visit" the same exact page, yet no sign ups. I doubt I'll get any sign ups out of the 50,000 "visitors" I paid for.
So, your feedback on spamfreeadvertising.org is very helpful to me. Thank you much. It's a email targeted campaign and I would have thought there would have been better results, but it sounds like you had a similar experience.
Anybody know of any true, effective campaigns?

Hi All
I just purchased a 300,000 e-mail package with a tracking link embedded in the text - when the e-mails go out I will post info on my results...
Anyone else have a good experience with direct e-mail? So far I have had no luck.

Anyone have good experiences with email lists? TBH I've never considered a mass list - niche type newsletters seem to be a better bet (better targeting and more chance that they have actually opted in!  ).
I've just tried some traffic purchase on a couple of test domains - nothing from it yet but I'll post some results when the campaigns are finished.

I Did!
What a bummer!
For a long time I have been looking for someone who does email advertising at a cost that I could afford. I found Opi-In Targeted Emails on the net. They send 300,000 for $99. You can select your location and demographic. Sounds great! in my case it is Dating. To make a very long story short, they didn't send the emails and couldn't or wouldn't show me they did. Their URL is: http//www.spamfreeadvertising.org also .com
They kept giving me the run around, asking me to send info from my hosts stats. When I asked for my money back using their guarantee of emails sent in 5 days or your money back, they said they already sent the emails.
I'm still looking for an honest email site that I can afford.

I wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience!
I almost gave www.i-web-marketing.com my money for 50,000 visitors also. I was skeptical of this site and wondered how they provide traffic to your site. Additionally, they state in their FAQ page that "The visitors are exposed to your web page and your offer, not to a tiny banner or mini pop-up."
So it seams that what they are saying is misleading due to you discovering that your page was showing up in a pop-up window counting each pop up as a "visitor". So I'm curious as to how they really make sure there's unique "visitors" every week, and that there's not the same "visitor" viewing your "site".
Thanks for your information!!! If anyone has good experiences with getting new visitors to your site through a certain program, please let me know. I'm researching this area. Thanks!
