WordPressDirect sure likes to thank me a lot

I don’t really care about whatever “controversy” surrounds WordPressDirect as far as people calling it a “spamming” tool.  I’m on the side that how a tool like WordPressdirect is used is not dependent on the tool, but instead is dependent on the user of the tool.

It kind of reminds me of a guy named Haden McCabe (not sure if that was his real name) and a membership site called RevenueInsider which ultimately closed – but TRIED to do in a natural way nearly 4 years ago what alot of the new ‘revolutionary’ tools are doing today. Wonder whatever happened to that guy.

In fact I bought the domains onlinebusinessautomation.com, articlespinners.com, naturallanguagegenerators.com, and naturallanguagegeneration.com recently because I suppose I have an unhealthy obession (in kind of a hobbyist sort of way) as to whether or not of automation  can be developed in such a way that it emulates how humans would build out websites, articles etc

Theoretically, even a tool like Howie’s BookmarkGeneration program which autocreates thousands of social bookmarking accounts could be used as a “service” for clients who don’t want to take time to set up their own social bookmarking accounts – although I’d have to read the terms of service to see if automated account creation is allowed. But you get the idea.

Anyhow – back to the point of the post. Thanks for reading this far. ;-)

What was a bit more bizarre to me was how many times WordPressDirect “Thanked me”…it kind of reminded me of a friend of mine with somewhat low self-esteem who used to constantly “thank me” for being his friend.

Here’s the sequence of “Thank You’s” I got from WordPressDirect:

November 21 – password recovery Thank You
November 23 – Paul, thanks for being a member!
November 25 – Thanks again for being a member (a gift inside)
November 27 – The un-expected uproar (and another thank-you gift)

I don’t know, when someone starts to thank me that much I start to get a bit uneasy.

I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with WordPressDirect, I just think it’s worth pointing out that sometimes you can OVERDO customer appreciation just a bit.

Thank you for reading this. Really. Thank you. I mean it. Thanks a lot!

PMPMSI – Do This

If you are getting emails from PMPMSI – don’t click on any links. Remember – often companies send emails just to see if an email address is active – and what better way to find out than having people click on links to “block further mailings”

So when you get unwanted email from PMPMSI that states this at the bottom:

“Mail Powered by PMPMSI.

To Receive no More Emails From PMPMSI Customers,
simply Block our company from sending you one by
this link.”

Don’t click.

Just remember this rhyme:

“PMPMSI thinks their slick.
Put them out of business. Just don’t click.”

Instead you should do the following (note: I would NOT recommend you report to THEIR abuse department for obvious reasons).

Instead:

  1. Follow the information for reporting spam provided by SpamCop.net
  2. Filter future messages from PMPMSI to your spam folder, bulk folder, trash, or have it automatically deleted. You’ll need to see how your filtering rules work for your email program.
