Why is mayorsmoney.com spamming me?

[Thumbler]

I got it but it didn't really bother me, the thing that surprised me was that they didn't dedupe their list and remove exisiting webmasters from it. Inviting me to join a program I'm already promoting seems a bit pointless.

I'm curious what people are defining as spam- stuff that you're sent after signing up for an affiliate program or board? I send an email to affiliates of my site every few months to remind them I exist and let them know I have new free content, is that spamming according to the folk here?

Not at all & you should be emailing your affiliates as often as you can. Keep them informed about what's new, what's changed, etc. I love newsletters for sponsors - reminds me that I'm an affiliate & makes me feel all warm & cozy inside

SirMoby & Surfn were just confused as to why they got the email

That's what I thought, I was just getting the impression that some people have stricter definitions of spam than I do.

In my case the email wasn't actually spam because I signed up to a board they run a few years ago and gave them an email address.

The reason I thought it was spam was I get the same opening line 20 or 30 times a day and this was the first time I've ever seen a business email used that approach and it also came to an email address that I don't give to sposnors so I knew I never signed up to one of their programs.

Had they identified themselves as owners of Porn City or used a more common appraoch in announcements I never would have thought it was spam. On the other hand maybe I should know them.

I like getting announcements and communications from business partners. Just don't use the same lines as spammers and you should be OK.
