| | | Product Reviewed: The Encyclopedia of Free Online Advertising 2nd Edition | | By: Luke W Parker | | Category: Free Downloads - All Members | | Review Title: Good Giveaway But Beware The Emails | | Date Reviewed: July 30, 2007 | | Reviewer: Dan Levy | I downloaded this book because it looked like a great giveaway for my site or as a list builder. And, after reading it - I still think so. Lot's of good information, not just for newbies, but most people.
But, here's the rub. There's about 20 or so affiliate programs that you can brand with your own IDs. That means if you choose to do so, you have to join these programs. No big deal. After all you will get sign-ups & make money through them.
Now, I signed up for about a third of the programs over the week-end. I'll do the rest this week, then start giving the book out. But, of the programs I signed up for, three of them, in just the 1st four days, have already sent me over 300 emails.
So, if you do give this away to your list, warn them - don't use their primary email to do this. Create a separate account at Yahoo or wherever so they can keep their real email uncluttered.
Bottom line - aside from all the excessive emails, this does look good, and I am going to use it.

| Comment By: Luke Parker | Comment Date: September 16, 2007 | Thank you for the Insight, Dan!
You're absolutely right in everything you said, however I'd like to point out that there are 3 links in that book for Safelists, and three links for ListBuilder programs... Those are the only types of programs in there that send out all the spam you mentioned, which was what they are designed to do. -Meanwhile there's another 30 links or so for great programs that don't spam.
Thanks again for taking the time to read my Book!
