Does spamming really work all that well? I mean, how many people actually OPEN mails that say "BARLEY LEGGAL YOUNG MALES!".... or "I'LL SUCK COCK FOR YOU"... I know I sure as hell don't -- unless by accident -- and even then... I don't bother reading it. It just seems so useless to me, this marketing scheme.. Yet it's so rampant.

Let's say they send the e-mail to 1,000 people and of the 1,000 people maybe 100 people open up the mail and then of the 100 people who open the mail 50% is on purpose. Then that's 50 people who go to the site. But let's say 10 of those people were just curious as to what these things lead to, which brings it down to 40 customers. And then there's the 5 that just wanted to get a good laugh [some have really good titles], and then the 10 that were tricked by one of those messages that's really cryptic like "hi this is jessica you never emailed me back! click here". So that leaves 15. Out of the 15 probably 5 will leave because of the annoying popups and then 10 remain. Out of the 10 that remain 8 will be scared away by the fact that they have to pay MONEY to see pr0n. [why pay $ when you don't have to, right?]

That leaves 2 subscribers out of 1000 initial prospective customers. Is it really worth all that?
