Spam, it now account for 65% or more of all emails sent… With so many emails sent, is spamming really a profitable business?

Stock spamming
ZDNet wrote back in 2004 “a spammer who owns 1,000 shares in a company sends out an e-mail saying “buy these shares, they’re about to really take off” and if enough people are tempted it not only become a self-fulfilling prophecy but it makes them a tidy packet in the process.” Spammers would tell everyone to buy a certain stock making the prices rise, often the strategy has been successful prompting everyone to get right out and buy a certain stock.

Is Email Spam profitable?
Email spam is all about getting the message out to as many people as possible. Though you might think that no one is gullible to fall for spam… Keep in mind..

There are more gullible people on the web than you think…

New people are joining the internet everyday, many of whom who probably can’t distinguish a spam email or for another… Or just imagine if you send out millions of emails, at least a couple have to be interested enough to click on to that spammers website. All it does is take some good ad placement and it’s the perfect strategy…

Many types of spam businesses
Spam isn’t limited to just email… telemarkting is a form of spam, just as junk mail in your post office, and not limited to spammy myspace profiles, or just comments that are all spam related.

As long as spammers turn massive profits, it’s not going away anytime soon, as we adapt to internet technolgy… so will the spammers…
