Can I spam your blog please?

February 15th, 2006 at 05:50am

I got this email couple of days back. Check out the conversation. This is called solicited spamming. The person was kind enough to ask me if he could spam my blog with track-back spam. Check out the conversation………..

Looks like this guy has bought some “Make Money Instantly” kit, and trying his luck.

Alright Arjun, thanks for your replies. I’ll be more careful nextime.My intention is to put ads on people’s blogs so that they in turn can put ads on my blog to increase popularity of my blog and products (and theirs).

The program Blog Blaster claims to do this and by way of keywords sort out blogs which relate to my business & blog.

Like I said it is not my intention to pollute or spam your personal blog.

Regards,
Mr. XYZ

Arjun,

I apologize, I was led to believe (by the program Blog Blaster) that it was legal to post like this with their program.

No offense meant

Respectfully,
Mr. XYZ

PS How should I post to your blog?
