Net Economics & EthicsLooking inward at the effects of the Internet on the Economy, as well as tackling some issues related to security, fraud, theft, and generally "being bad" online... |
| In the Crosshairs |
|
* There are lots of things in our gun sights. As you recall from the last Gazette, I was raving about SpamArrest, the spam killing service that has saved my life. While I still enjoy a spam-free Inbox (I'm still amazed by that!), it has been brought to my attention that behind the scenes, SpamArrest may be up to some dirty tricks. As their offices are just down the road from me, I'm planning a visit to talk to them in person, do some investigation, and will report back to you. If need be, I'll happily
retract my endorsement and find a similar service that we can all trust implicitly.
* We're about to receive an evaluation of ClickTracks for review. For those of you who don't know, ClickTracks is a visitor analysis system (similar to a log file analyzer like WebTrends), but it spends its time not looking at numbers and building charts -- instead, it focuses on helping you learn your visitors' habits, trends, and actions. In short, it's the missing link between SEO and ROI. SEO will get you visitors, and learning how to maximize that traffic and convert them into actual dollars is where ClickTracks steps in. More information to follow, once I have had a chance to play with it. * We're making some fun changes in the JimWorld forums. I'm not going to divulge too much information this week, but in the weeks to come, we're going to launch something that'll change the way you look not only at our forums, but forums in general. The major part of the planned forum change is so radical, so different, it can only be classified as "pure Jim." Sit back and enjoy the show, folks -- we're going to make history, with your help, in just a few weeks. |

Thank you for your review, I will benefit from your suggestions. I have one
question though. You said "In the source, you really need a meta description
for each page just as you do with any web site." How do I do this with blogger?

This "Scumbag of the Week" article is irresponsible. I had not trouble at all in receiving the following response from SpamArrest:
"Hi James,
Thank you for your email.
James, what you see there is absolutely wrong and is done to misguide our users and our new customers from Spam Arrest. We have over 1.5 million customers with us including you. You have been with us for a very long time, James. You can check with any of your contacts whether they have received any junk emails from us. We never do such a thing and its completely against our ethics! We hate spam as much as you do and so, along with stopping it, we make sure that none of our customer's emails are noted as spam. We warn our customers from sending bulk emails about the fact that their contacts might misunderstand their bulk emails as spam and will turn against them and Spam Arrest. A company following only such healthy practices can never do such a thing like spamming. What we value the most is our customer's trust and we will make all efforts to retain that in the best way possible. We never admit your personal information to any third party under whatsoever circumstances. You will find a whole lot of misleading things like this in Internet, James. We have friends and foes like anyone else in this planet.
I hope you will understand us the best way possible, James. Please do let me know if you need any further clarifications regarding this.
Best Regards,
Peter
Technical Support Specialist
Spam Arrest"
In the 3 years that I have used SpamArrest, I personally have never received one complaint from anyone that has been 'spammed' from any theoretical 'spam list' that SpamArrest may have created. I think that their statement above makes it clear that they would not do this.
I behooves you to publish a retraction.
