In 1936, long before the rise of the personal computer, Hormel Foods created SPAM. In 2002, the company will produce it's six billionth can of the processed food product. But that mark was passed long ago in the world of Internet spam.
Who Cooked This!? (How did it all start?)
The modern meaning of the word "spam" has nothing to do with spiced ham. In the early 1990’s, a skit by British comedy group Monty Python led to the word’s common usage. "The SPAM Skit" follows a couple struggling to order dinner from a menu consisting entirely of Hormel's canned ham.
Repetition is key to the skit's hilarity. The actors cram the word "SPAM" into the 2.5 minute skit more than 104 times! This flood prompted Usenet readers to call unwanted newsgroup postings "spam." The name stuck.
Spammers soon focused on e-mail, and the terminology moved with them. Today, the word has come out of technical obscurity. Now, "spam" is the common term for "Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail", or "UCE."
Chances are, you've been spammed before. Somehow, your e-mail address has found it's way into the hands of a spammer, and your inbox is suffering the consequences. How does this happen? There are several possibilities.
Backstabbing Businesses
Businesses often keep lists of their customers' e-mail addresses. This is a completely legitimate practice and, usually, nothing bad comes of it. Sometimes though, the temptation to make a quick buck is too great, and these lists are sold or rented to outside advertisers. The result? A lot of unsolicited e-mail, and a serious breach of trust.
Random Address Generation
Computer programs called random address generators simply "guess" e-mail addresses. Over 100 million hotmail addresses exist – howhard could it be to guess some of them? Unfortunately for many unsuspecting netizens – not too hard. Many spammers also guess at
"standard" addresses, like "support@yourdomain.com",
"info@yourdomain.com", and "billing@yourdomain.com."
Web Spiders
Today's most insidious list-gathering tools are web spiders. All of the major search engines spider the web, saving information about each page. Spammers use tools that also spider the web, but save anye-mail address they come across. Your personal web page lists your e-mail address? Prepare for an onslaught!
Chat Room Harvesting
ISP's offer vastly popular chat rooms where users are known only by their screen names. Of course, spammers know that your screen name is the first part of your e-mail address. Why waste time guessing e-mail addresses when a few hours of lurking in a chat room can net a list of actively-used addresses?
The Poor Man's Bad Marketing Idea
It didn't work for the phone companies, and it won't work for e-mail marketers. But, some spammers still keep their own friends-and-family-style e-mail lists. Compiled from the addresses of other known spammers, and people or businesses that the owner has come across in the past, these lists are still illegitimate. Why? Only you can give someone permission to send you e-mail. A friend-of-a-friend's permission won't cut it.
Already drowning in spam? Try using your e-mail client’s filters – many provide a way to block specific e-mail addresses. Each time you're spammed, block the sender’s address. Spammers skip from address to address, and you may be on many lists, but this method will at least slow the flow.
Also, use more than one e-mail address, and keep one "clean." Many netizens find that this technique turns the spam flood into a trickle. Use one address for only spam-safe activities like e-mailing your friends, or signing on with trustworthy businesses. Never use your clean address on the web! Get a free address to use on the web and in chat rooms.
If nothing else helps, consider changing screen names, or opening an entirely new e-mail account. When you do, you'll start with a clean, spam-free slate. This time, protect your e-mail address!
Want to surf the web without getting sucked into the spam-flood? Prevention is your best policy. Don't use an easy-to-guess e-mail address. Keep your address clean by not using it for spam-centric activities. Don't post it on any web pages, and don't use it in chat rooms or newsgroups.
Before giving your clean e-mail address to a business, check the company out. Are sections of its user agreement dedicated to anti-spam rules? Does a privacy policy explain exactly what will be done with your address? The most considerate companies also post an anti-spam policy written in plain English, so you can be absolutely sure of what you're getting into.
Many a first-time marketer has inadvertently spammed his audience. The first several hundred complaints and some nasty phone messages usually stop him in his tracks. But by then, the spammer may be faced with cleanup bills from his ISP, and a bad reputation that it’s not easy to overcome.
The best way to avoid this situation is to have a clear understanding of what spam is: If anyone who receives your mass e-mails did not specifically ask to hear from you, then you are spamming them.
Stick with your gut. Don’t buy a million addresses for $10, no matter how much the seller swears by them! If something sounds fishy, just say no. You'll save yourself a lot in the end.
The online world is turning the tide on spam. In the end, people will stop sending spam because it stops working. Do your part: never buy from a spammer. When your business seeks out technology companies with which to work, only choose those with a staunch anti-spam stance.
Spam has a long history in both the food and e-mail sectors. This year, Hormel Foods opened a real-world museum dedicated to SPAM. While the museum does feature the Monty Python SPAM Skit, there's no word yet on an unsolicited commercial e-mail exhibit. But, if all upstanding netizens work together, Hormel's ham in a can will far outlive the Internet plague that is UCE.

Traffic Python is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very
little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean,
with an attractive look and feel.
It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and
painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required
to gain the benefits. The Members Area is very well
laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do
after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running
in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links
and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use
into the generator and it transforms them into "Traffic Python"
links.
You create ads for anything you want to promote using the
Traffic Python Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.
You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.
And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed
in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent
links appear on the main page for quick reference.
Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most,
it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.
Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start
to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Traffic Python
link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the
Traffic Python link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool
slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image
with your affiliate link that goes back to Traffic Python.
So if anyone clicks the Traffic Python image they see the site,
and if they signup they become your referral.
It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without
even trying to just by using the site. Now every time the ad
window displays (your Traffic Python links get clicked) you earn
credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other
members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times
your ads get displayed. And this works virally--meaning as
you make referrals into Traffic Python (either by promoting it
or just using it and visitors click the Traffic Python image on
the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks.
And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount
of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Traffic Python also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool)
but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links
got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Traffic Python
even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays.
That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best
of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline
with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is
where Traffic Python really shines.
They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's
valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to
your downline. But the best part about this feature
(and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells
you exactly how long until you can mail again.
Now THAT's cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Python.
It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic
and advertising.
