Unethical?
A new service has just launched which allows you to get an email address that only lasts 10 minutes. See 10minutemail.com.
That’s right…10 minutes.
Essentially what this means is that when you get to those pages on a website which require you to provide an email address and a name before getting the content on the subsequent page, you can simply grab a 10minutemail.com address, sign up for the item, get it from your email, and do nothing further. The email address will simply “self-destruct”.
I know that there are some folks out there cheering this on because they get so tired of being “required” to give out personal information before receiving either their free gift, complimentary offer, whatever you’re seeking at the time.
However, the people providing this offer to you as a subscriber have gone to some lengths to get that information to you. The “price” that you pay is your email address. Would you rather be charged for the product? I guess it all depends on what your email address is worth to you.
I honestly believe that this is a very short-lived but noteworthy item. Many websites already prevent certain email addresses from being used such as a hotmail.com or ayahoo.com address and this will simply be another one that is blocked by savvy website owners.
It’s obvious that if you choose to use an email address such as this, you are doing nothing more than stealing. You obviously have no intention of being a trustworthy person.
A little harsh? I don’t think so. Since many online marketers offer a double-opt in, which essentially means that you have to confirm your email address before receiving any additional email, and you are given the opportunity to unsubscribe at any time, there is no reason at all to not use a real, working email address.
Obviously if you have visited the website they offer something of value to you so it would make sense that you would want to receive other valuable items and information as well.
If you don’t, it’s simply stealing.
What do you think?

I have been talking about the I-Guides for quite awhile now but was approached around the same time to write a guide on simply “Search Engine Marketing” and so I have also been working hard on that as well.
Needless to say, the I-Guides won’t be released until after the 1st of the year – we’ll let you know 
but if you’re just itching to get your hands on a step-by-step process about Marketing online – this will be available within the next three weeks via eBay.
It will not be free but I will be sure that it gets sold at a very low price so that everyone can afford it! I guarantee that absolutely NO ONE will have access to this book before it goes on sale so you will know it’s fresh and new. Being as it will be something that no one has ever done before (at least to my knowledge) …
…as I knock on wood
If I may rant for a moment…
…I get tired, just like you do of hearing that the “next best thing” is coming out. As if there is some big secret that no one else knows about that you simply have to pay $1,200/month for or you won’t know what everyone else does!
Nothing like playing on your fears is there?
The bottom line is that there is no secret. There are certain steps that you can take to assure your success and they are all pretty easy to implement.
You need to know what these are, yes but they are no secret.
I simply can’t give this away for free. What good is 12 years of learning on the Internet if you’re just going to hand it over to someone right?
What I can do however, is give you some things *in addition* to the book about marketing online.
Keep an eye out here and we’ll let you know when the book becomes available via eBay and how you can get it along with the free stuff to boot.
So keep an eye out here and we’ll keep you informed!
All the best to you,
Kristine

It has been a whirlwind of a couple of weeks. In addition to writing the I-Guides for those of you new to the Internet business world I have also been asked to take up teaching a class online for basic SEO and traffic techniques. Due to the fact that these will be taking place fairly soon, the I-Guides won’t be released until sometime in November. However, if you are one of the ones on the newsletter list, you will be the very first ones to know about the SEO & marketing classes in addition to when the I-Guides are released.
It has taken up quite a bit of my time, so my apologies for not posting as often as I do. I will however, give you a great free tip since your patience has been absolutely wonderful!
I don’t really like the word “spying” but essentially that is what you have to do with your compeition if you want to find out what they are doing and figure out how to do it five times better.
That is why the Search Status tool is so great.
You’ll be able to get all kinds of information about your competition including what keywords they use for their website, to historical website data, their PageRank, their Alexa Ranking and so much more.
It’s a free plug-in for Firefox browsers and you can get it at http://www.quirk.biz/download-searchstatus.
We’ll see you on the newsletter list!
Until next time,
Kristine
