Hello,
This is an informative email regarding "How to promote Web Hosting Business", so here is the some important tips:
First of all if you are a Web Hosting Provider you must register your company with these Web Hosting Directories:
1, http://hostsearch.com
2, http://host-dir.com
3, http://webhosters.com
4, http://findsp.com
5, http://findwebspace.com
6, http://hostindex.com
7, http://webhostdir.com
8, http://hostglobal.com
Also you should submit your web site to several search engines like:
1, http://yahoo.com
2, http://google.com
3, http://altavista.com
4, http://excite.com
The bidding system is also a unique addition in search listings :
1, http://goto.com

Thank you.

I recieved this exact same spam in my mailbox. This guy is obviously part of one of these directories trying to promote his site without getting caught. *sshole!

Oops! I figured out which one he is, heh. Turns out he also was promoting another site under another username. Got that one too.

Chicken, Can't you block his IP or something so he would not comeback here and harvest emails and SPAM us?

Banned, can't view forum, and IP blocked. We do the best we can, but that isn't to say that some will slip through. Leaving this as the other sites he mentioned are fine :D

Well Chicken, just block whoever promotes those sites which are banned above. I just can't imagine his IQ level is so low that he is using such lame techniques.

N/M, I figured it out by comparing my spam with the edited post.

I didn't get it even once. Why do I always get left out? :bawling:

At least he wasn't indiscriminate.

Maybe Dim8 will be a buddy and let you both have the two extra that he got? ;)
