SPAM The Web Master! The Mistake We Make

When we first started to promote our website, we make couple of mistakes and this one is still continue to stay and hurt us. You can avoid it if you read this story.

Mistake For New Web Master

If you have a new site, to get new incoming links, the easy way is to submit it to some free website link directory. Bingo, this is what we did when we first started out.

It’s not submitting to link directory isn’t working, it does help sometime. But really, submitting to link directory who sell your email address to spammer, that is a bummer!

The Mistake : Submit To Link Directory Using Our Web Master Email Address

Not that we spam the webmaster! We, web master being spam! The web master email address is what we use everyday to do our job! And each time, when we check our email, a lot of spam still coming in for the web master email account, not a great way to start a day.

How To Avoid

As a webmaster, it’s really easy to create couple of email accounts. For example, in hoobin.com, we can create webmaster-link1@hoobin.com, and use that to submit to all the link directory. If you are new to this web master things, use CPanel to do it.

Anyway, Always Have Multiple Email Address

In essence, submit your less important email address such as webmaster-link1@hoobin.com to submit to those link directory that look fishy. Alright, the hack with it, use it to submit to all the link directory - just don’t tell that we encourage you to do so:)

Well, we can tell you that the link directory owner seldom send you an email except when they need to you renew your link. So create a special email account for this really help.

Not Web Master

For those who are not web master, this could happen to you too. Such as when you applying for free paid survey network, again you have to risk to expose your email address to spammer. Always use second email or create dedicated email to do this kind of things.

Conclusion …

D*mn, we really hate spam! I guess getting spam email has become the way of life. We just need to figure out a way to better deal with it. What do you think? Do you have special trick that you use to avoid spam?
