Question: Who should use targeted email addresses ?

Answer: Anyone that has a product or service that they are selling or marketing.
Compared to any other types of advertising, targeted email is by far the least expensive form of
advertising. Take for example direct snail mail. Between the cost of envelopes, and postage at Rs.10/-or $.35,
if you spent Rs.5,000/- or $250 (the cost of our 5 million emails) you would reach less then 500 people. With our
mails for the same Rs.5,000/- or $250 you can reach in upwards of 5 million! How much money would it cost to
advertise on television or in print to reach the same amount of people? The Super bowl gets close
to those kinds of numbers and the cost for one 30 second commercial is close to $1,000,000.

Question: I would like to start Targeted Emailing my advertisement but don't know where to
start. How do I begin?
Answer: First, you must have an ISP (Internet Service Provider). This is a local dialup to connect
you to the internet. Second, you need fast-sending Email software.
Our software that will let you design your ad and send out your Email to all the Email addresses in
your list. Third, you need Email addresses of all the people you will be sending your ad to.

Question: Is Targeted Email legal?

Answer: Yes. Sending commercial Bulk Email is legal. There are however, ways to send your Email
that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) will not approve of. Using your ISP's mail server to send your
bulk email might not be allowed. Older and less powerful bulk email software uses your ISP's mail
server to deliver your Bulk Email. Warning, do not use this type of software to illegal action otherwise
you will loose you ISP account.

Newer powerful bulk email software turns your computer into
a Mail Server and bypasses your ISP's mail server altogether. Your computer will always act as a Mail Sever eliminating many conflicts between you and your ISP.

Question: Can I search the internet for my own email addresses and not buy an email address list?

Answer: Yes, there is software available for purchase that will search an email address list for you
(for example: Email Extractor). The problem with this technique is: If you could collect 500 valid
email addresses a day, (even this is tough to do sometimes) it would take you 16,000 days or over
40 years to collect the amount of addresses you will have by purchasing our 8 million business
email addresses .

Question: What format are these lists in?

Answer: Our business email addresses are divided up in several ways so as to make it very easy to
stay organized. All lists are in single address per line text format. This is the most common way Bulk
Email Software wants to read from a list before sending. The emails are divided into files consisting
of 100,000 addresses per file and are categorized into different directories.

Question: Should an email address list be in alphabetical order?

Answer: NO ! You should never purchase a bulk email address list that has been put in alphabetical order (most are, so be careful). The reason is that these days some major online providers (perhaps
AOL, CompuServe, etc) are rejecting packets of mails arriving to them in sorted alphabetical order to
reduce the amount of Spam coming in. One way to combat this is to scramble or 'Randomize' your list
before mailing. All our lists containing email have been randomized within these domain to prevent this from happening to you.
