If you send them a message every time you have updated your website, or you have started to promote a new product you will soon receive some angry emails.
Posting to forums, blogs, message boards or groups
Do not spam message boards, forums, groups, or blogs just to get traffic. For the regular u sers of the groups and forums that is seen as an unfriendly intrusion by a stranger. Also leaving senseless comments on blogs just to get a link back to your site are very annoying for other readers of the blog. It is a real turn off to read a great blog post and then go down thru the comments and in between see a comment like:
‘I agree with everything that has been said before. Please visit my website
http://www.stupid-spam-comment.com/ ‘
This is extremely annoying and does not look good when you put your name and web address with it.
