What is SPAM?
SPAM
is Emailing ANYONE, in bulk or by single mailing, about the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb
Program, who has not specifically requested the information directly from
you. Any SPAM complaint regarding the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb Program is cause
for termination. This is a very serious matter. DO NOT send WebMusic-MusiqueWeb
Promo Email to anyone who has not made a specific request for WebMusic-MusiqueWeb.
Note: If one of our Affiliates has spammed you, concerning our "Affiliate Program", you can advise us by clicking here.
Q: What types of advertising are considered SPAM?
A: Bulk Emailing (sending an Email advertisement to persons listed on an Email address lead list).
Advertising with bulk Email services (companies who will
send an Email advertisement to persons listed on an email address lead list
for you).
Emailing information about the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb Program
to persons that you don't know, who didn't specifically request the information.
Using the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb BBS (Message board-Intranet)
to promote other fundraising opportunities or subjects.
NOTE:
The item, *** "Bounce-back Emailing" (sending an Email advertisement in reply
to an Email advertisement that was sent to you "directly" [YOUR NAME was
in the "To:" field] or "indirectly" [YOUR NAME was in the carbon copy {"Cc:"}
field). *** -- even though it IS still considered SPAM by some individuals/Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) -- has been amended to read:
"Bounce-back
Emailing" WILL be permitted, but ONLY if YOUR NAME appeared in the "To:"
field of an Email you received that promotes someone else's business opportunity.
However, the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb URLs (ima-ami.org , webmusic-musiqueweb.org
or wm-mw.org) must NEVER appear in ANY of the Emails -- or ANY other type
of advertising -- used to promote the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb Program! ANY type
of advertisement may ONLY contain the URL of YOUR "pointer page" or the URL
of YOUR "domain"! You must, however, realize that if you are reported for
SPAMMING -- and your ISP considers "Bounce-back Email" SPAM -- the ISP might
terminate your Internet Service and remove your pointer page from the Net
without asking any questions! If you use a "local" ISP, and you have a good
rapport with them, you might ask them what THEIR policy is on "Bounce-back
Email" in order to avoid potential problems.
You are NOT permitted to use "Bounce-back Email" if YOUR
NAME did NOT appear in the "To:" field! For instance, you may NOT respond
if your name appeared in the "Cc:" field, or the "Bcc:" (Blind Carbon Copy
- YOU got the Email, but YOUR name did NOT appear in the "To:" field!) field!
In other words, YOU were the "indirect" recipient! Further, it is YOUR responsibility
to INSURE that you are responding ONLY to the ONE individual that sent you
the original Email, and NOT to a "Cc:" (or "Bcc:") list that appeared on
the original Email to which you are responding! Sending "Bounce-back" to
anyone other than the ORIGINATOR of the initial Email is SPAM in the truest
sense, and violates WebMusic-MusiqueWeb policy! Even if it is an "accident",
such SPAM is cause for termination!
FAQ
Q:
Why can't I use a bulk Email list from a company that sells the Email addresses
of people who have requested fundraising opportunity information?
A:
These companies may not have a legitimate list of addresses.
Even if they do, and you know the company is an honest one, there will always
be at least one unhappy recipient of your advertisement that may complain.
They may have forgotten that they requested the information, or didn't know
what type of information that they were requesting when they submitted their
Email address. It only takes one complaint to be shut down by an Internet
service provider. Also, companies like AOL will block Email coming from "ima-ami.org",
if they get enough complaints.
Q: Can I use WebMusic-MusiqueWeb webpage URL in my email signature?
A: No, direct your potential new Donators and Affiliates to your mirror site(s) or pointer page first.
Q:
Why would anyone complain about getting an Email that
they didn't request? Can't they just delete the message?
A:
Yes, they can just delete the message. The problem is
that people have to pay for their internet connection. Unsolicited email
costs them connect time. They feel they had to pay for your advertisement.
SPAM is similar to receiving an opportunity in the mail with postage due!
Q: Can't I just send my Email for my WebMusic-MusiqueWeb promos one at a time? That's not bulk Emailing.
A:
No, it's not "bulk Emailing," but it will be received
by people who have not asked you for the information, and that is considered
SPAM by the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb Program.
Q:
Why does WebMusic-MusiqueWeb even have a SPAM policy? Shouldn't we be allowed to advertise any way we want?
A:
Even one complaint from a SPAM recipient, whether they requested the information
or not, could cause the WebMusic-MusiqueWeb Program to forfeit its Internet
presence. The "Powers That Be" will simply delete our "wm-mw.org" domains.

Q: What kind of advertising can WebMusic-MusiqueWeb Affiliates do?

Classified Ads are a terrific way to advertise! The classified ad sites get
heavy traffic, and there are thousands of FREE classified ad sites on the
Net.
Newsgroups are a good way
to advertise, some even allow advertisements posted
to their group. Some groups don't allow blatant advertising, but you can
offer your input to the group. Using a signature at the bottom of your posting
will let readers know who you are, and how they can
reach you or your web site.
Email
newsletter advertising is an inexpensive way to reach hundreds or even thousands
of readers who are interested in fundraising opportunities. Writing articles
on topics of interest, and submitting them to email newsletters or web sites,
is a FREE advertising method! Include a resource box about yourself, and
how readers can contact you.
Using banner ads on free banner ad sites, paid banner advertising, or banner exchange sites.
Putting up a home page offering information of interest
to others, such as financial information or links. Hobbies, pets, or
other personal interests are a good topic for home pages.
