Got an email from Sedo...

[-NC-]

...regarding my little 2 week old domain parking blog (alldomainparking.com).
They asked if I had heard about sedo, and could they send me updates that might interest my readers? (ha! As if I have readers!)

My first thought was: Interesting, a new (to me) kind of spam
My second thought was: Would someone at a company like sedo actually care about the content of my fledgling blog?

The email was sent to the proxy email address on the whois record for the domain, which sounds to me like something a bot would do, but then, there's no contact details on the blog, so it would also be the logical thing for a person to do.

To be honest, I'm not sure how to respond.

I could post the email contents, but I've no idea about any of the rules in that area.

Thoughts? Let me guess, everyone else on here has received a similar email at some point in time, and I'm just showing how green I really am? :red:

Not sure - You could try sending a PM to Mara here at Namepros - she works for sedo and is very helpful.

It won't hurt anything to post the email - it's your email, isn't it?

Anyway, the worst thing that can happen is if you respond, you don't hear back from them. If you're interested, it's worth a shot. If not, then it's Ok to ignore it.

Thanks for your advice Gazzip and Freeway, I ended up replying and asking for a Sedo Pro invite so that I could blog about their best service, but declining the offer to receive information and updates about their service as I haven't had the chance to use their service yet, so can't blog about it.

Hmmm, I was thinking the worst thing would be a deluge of spam! So I set up a new email forwarder just for them - if start getting spammed, I can just remove the forwarder...
