RookMedia still spamming

Received another spam from them today:

Hi,

My name is Sebastian Hauser with RookMedia, a domain monetization company.

I see that you’re currently parking with FastPark at the moment, and was wondering whether you would consider trying us out.

I can guarantee that we can show you a significant increase in performance on your portfolio.

Thanks For Your Time,
Sebastian Hauser.

Times are tough it seems

Hi Sdsinc, sorry to hear that you got another mail for one of your domains. Last time I asked you to send me your contact details so that I can make sure that we are not mailing you again. Have not received details yet, so unfortunately one of our reps tried again not knowing it to a user who specifically requested not to be contacted. As soon as I have your details I can promise you that we will not get in touch with you again (unless you want us to ).

If you PM me your adress details too I will make sure to send you a little xmas gift as a little extra sorry from our side for taking up your time.

I have a better idea. Remove all addresses from your mail list, that you do not have express, prior permission to send to.
Then your problem is solved.

Spamming domainers is unnecessary because they attend the forums and they already know that you exist.

I see that you don't like getting these contact attempts and would like to make sure that you will not get them again . Sent you a PM as well to make sure that we put the right email on our black list, but have not heard back from you yet.

The last thing I want to do is to get on your nerves, at the same time we have to continue talking with domain owners (at shows, over mail, on forums, over the phone, etc. etc.) with good domains to stay in business. As soon as I have your details I can make sure that you don't get unwanted mail again.

You're missing the point.

You should ALREADY have mailing lists with OPT IN.
You should ALREADY not be sending unsolicited mail.
You CERTAINLY should not be sending unsolicited mail to the same party TWICE.

So you remove SDSINC. What about everyone else?

She's doing you a favor - each violation is potentially a fine up to $16,000. I recommend that you evaluate your mail marketing and harvesting techniques.

You do not want to associate your good name with SPAM. None of this applies if SDSINC previously opted in to you or an affiliate with appropriate legalese etc. but it sounds like this is not the case. Of course you have to talk to domain owners; however, if you harvest whois and sent unsolicited mail you are violating the agreement on whois usage and the LAW on spam. Sending email to existing customers, previous customers, or with relationships you have generated are TOTALLY legit and separate. The opt out there is a courtesy and good practice.

The bottom line is you need to indicated that you're going to do evaluate your ENTIRE contact mechanism. Set high standards, maintain positive brand awareness through POSITIVE channels and the respect you get will unduly go up. No one minds you using DNF, Namepros, meetups to advertise. Get positive people to say how great you are. If you don't understand that SPAM KILLS your reputation making you look desperate AND annoying people that might use you then you are going to have problems continuing in business. You may get the customers who switch parking on a whim trying to constantly maximise who don't care about you - just their bottom line - but I wouldn't build my business catering to these fickle people who are revenue suckers.

Thanks for your feedback. Overall 95% of the recepients of our contact requests have been happy with the offer, but we have 5% of people who do not wish to be contacted. We have to make sure that we do not reach out to this group. After all we are on the same page, as we are only interested in building the brand and making people happy, not unhappy and annoyed.

I will overlook our communication and fine tune it. Have a great weekend everyone. I am quite excited as I am off to St. Anton for some skiing.

Thanks.

I think all of you are a little cruel.

Hei, anything legal is fine. Even that is not black and white.

In fact, in this current economy, where so many people demand more redistribution of wealth, so many dictators corrupt, and so many thugs mugging people, and so many horor stories too scary to mention (3 letters starting with T), I am surprised somebody still make a big deal of an email.

Just want to say hi. Do you handle chinese visitors? Do you have cname or IP based parking? My method is a little different but so far so good. I SEO like hell and mainly got indexed by baidu. Do you have bing or google feed.

Hi Martin. I'll check things out . So far, bodis, and voodoo pays me extremely well. Another good provider is always good to have.

I'd love to get paid the money in my account sometime soon! Been well over the 35 day threshold I believe.

 

[RookMedia]

Hi Smurge,

payouts are always handled at the end of the month so you can expect money in your account soon. Have you filled in your payment details in your account? PM me if you want me to double check.

Thanks,
Martin

What are Rook Media like for domain names which mainly attract UK traffic please?

Does the feed have a good inventory of UK advertisers?

Thanks
