Get Rid of That SPAM

Everyone except me complains about spam. Wanna know why I don't complain? Because, everyone except me gets a lot of spam! It's not because I never give away my email address or because I don't use it. It's because I have multiple email addresses. I have one email address that I actually use to communicate with people. And I have another email address that I use to collect my spam. The way I target my spam to the one account is simple: I only use my spam email address to sign up for things online. I also only post my other email address on my website in a .swf file because the robots don't seem to be picking up email addresses from .swf... yet.

If you magically start getting spam on your non-spam account you can stop a lot of it by simply clicking the "Unsubscribe Me" link in the bottom of the email. I recommend using a free email service with good spam filtering as well. I use Yahoo! Mail and I'm often amazed at how well the spam filter works. If you follow my advice I promise you will reduce your spam!

p.s. NEVER buy anything from a spammer! The reason why we get spam is because it actually works. There are some morons out there who buy from the spammers and ruin it for us. Don't be one of them!
