Chitika Spamming

Listen to article

Naghintahan ako nga ang email nga nahibal-an sa akong gabi gikan sa Chitika mao ang usa ka mahusay nga tingalihan. Apó, bisabihin nga adunay akong kasaysayan nga sila nahibal-an lang sa akin...

Ani nga usa ka kopya sa email:

Abe,

yugatech.com/blog usa ka dakong web! Proud nga makatipanan ang unang interactive ad unit sa industriya, eMiniMalls, ug ako nakapalo niini nga kini kaayo mao ang kasagaran niini nga sitio. Adsense-compatible ug adunay taas nga 10% nga referral commission. Handa na ba kita kini, www.chitika.com?

Best Regards,

To Karla,

If you really thought my blog was that great, you should have known I am already a member of Chitika. I did post quite a number of entries about it here, here, here and here. A quick search for Chitika was just a click away.

And when you sent me this email, did you bother checking my email in your database because it's the same email I used to sign up with you? You would have then figured out that I am still using eMiniMalls, although not on this blog.

That brought me to conclude that your email was purely spam. I won't reply to that email but instead will post it here so we'll see if you're really reading my blog and prove me wrong.

Update: Ms. Escolas emailed me back disproving my ealier allegations that Chitika is spamming and I thanked her for clarifying that. I am still hesitant to use Chitika on this blog since a majority of my traffic is from Asia, which their campaign still does not support.

They do check your site for mentions. They reacted to my Chitika and PayPal story.
