Spamming- The
following forms of unsolicited communications are considered spam by GenuinePurity,
and are prohibited (the list is not exhaustive):- Unsolicited
e-mail, - Unsolicited
direct communication, - Unsolicited
instant messaging, electronic newsletters without double opt-in, and - Unsolicited
postings on public forums such as newsgroups, message boards, chat
rooms, instant chat programs, guest books, web pages, or any other
public forum, unless You:- are
the 100% owner, - have
been given written permission by the owner, or - post
in public forums in the "business opportunities" forum, if
applicable.
- are
- Unsolicited
- GenuinePurity
does NOT pay for conversions from spamming. - If
You are caught promoting our products and sites with spam, your account
will immediately be terminated, all amounts otherwise owing will be
forfeited, and we will pursue legal action. Why is GenuinePurity so
strict with its anti-spam measures and enforcement of its anti-spam
policy?
- The
a.
The reasons are simple. First of all, it is
illegal. Secondly, we want You to be successful and make more money in the GenuinePurity
program. Spamming equates to a poor gamble on minor short-term gains at the
expense of assured long-term success.
-
-
-
- Programs
that condone spamming end up being blacklisted and relegated to bottom
feeding with slow and unreliable web hosting options – low on speed and
high on downtime. - We
are able to secure top-level, fast, reliable web hosting to serve our
web pages and order pages to your productive, targeted audience because
we have not sacrificed these privileges by hammering an unproductive
and poor target audience with unsolicited marketing. - Programs
that condone spamming end up with product URLs, domains, and websites
being content-filtered by block lists and anti-spam software, which
means that critical e-mails such as Commission notifications, Affiliate
newsletters, and order confirmations will not get through. - If
a website is deemed to be generating spam, third-party testing
services, such as McAfee Site Advisor, can render a negative review of
the website.- This
can result in the denial of paid search term advertising.
