Default Re: Spam King Living High In The Bayou

Thanks for the link to that interesting article, Boyd. In the article the "spammer" guy said he charged 1 dollar per click every time someone clicked on the website of his clients. He then gave the example of sending out 80 million e-mails for a travel company and getting 30,000 to 40,000 clicks/leads. Well, very simple math tells you that comes up to $30,000 to $40,000 dollars that the travel company has to pay the spammer guy for the clicks. By spending that kind of money for leads, that travel company better hope they make a few sales or they're out over $30,000 for just a bunch of clicks!

With spammers making this much money - and this is just off of one company - it's no wonder why they're so hard to shut down.
