BudUrl Spam and Tracking Stats

Here is spam I received today. The idea of the site is that you can use them to track your links and they will provide stats on who clicked your links, where they came from, shorten your links, etc. What they don’t tell you is that using such a service is like giving away the keys to your house! All your incoming links, keywords and so much more can all be tracked by someone else now. Anyway – here is the unsolicited email they sent me from my whois information, something they are not supposed to be doing…

Hi Site Owner,

I was recently reviewing bed bugs sites in some of the major search engines and I came across your web site:

Out of all the sites I came across yours really stood out for me and if you could please spare me just two minutes, I have a business proposition for you as you are in the same market as I am.

After reviewing your site, I found that we are both targeting the exact same market, though, we are not in competition with one another.

I have been studying this target market for quite some time and would like to present you with the opportunity to increase your income for five minutes of work.

You will be provided with the marketing materials, all you need do is send out an email to your ezine list or add a graphic to your web site, and you can make money.

You can do this by signing up to the affiliate program found here:

budurl. com/growthhormoneaff

By promoting this product you can earn a commission without ever having to handle customer service or ship any products. It’s a fantastic way to make money pretty much out of thin air!

By working together, we have the potential to create an additional revenue source, for both of us — without investing any money or even any time. Because we share the same target market, your customers are guaranteed to be interested in the product.

An affiliate arrangement is a surefire way to make that interest work to our mutual benefit.

To sign up to this affiliate program visit:

budurl. com/growthhormoneaff

I offer this partnership very selectively, so please do act fast if you wish to go ahead with this. Also please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Finally, I know you’re a busy person and I’d like to thank you for reading this email whether you choose to promote and make some extra cash or not.

Keep up the good work!

By the way, you’ll be paid every 30 days.

Here’s to our success,

P.S. I hope you don’t mind me emailing you it’s just your bed bug web site really stood out from the others I came across during my research.

P.P.S. After you sign up you will see that the bed bugs product is one of the most popular and highest converting products they have.

    James, I think you’re getting confused here. budurl.com haven’t spammed you. Instead, it’s someone using the budurl.com link shortening service. It allows you to short links (duh!) and specify the unique string (that’s the growthhormoneaff bit).

    The advantage of budurl.com is that you can track how many clicks your link had etc. I personally use them to track a lot of my links that I send out to my email lists.

    Hope this clarifies . . . .
