ZooToo

Are you a web developer? Here is an idea that you can get in on before it becomes hot! I received this spam today with a referral code of /register/referrer/STHS

It’s spam designed to get you to visit a website called ZooToo, like facebook, made for pets. What they are doing wrong is spamming people; sites that spam like this usually get blacklisted or penalized by the search engines and as a result, end up doing poor on search results.

If you’re a web developer, it wouldn’t be hard to whip something up like ZooToo and get it out there by word of mouth rather than spam; chances are, your site will end up being the popular one! Just doesn’t pay to spam!

Here is the unsolicited email I received today:

Will a million dollars go to a shelter in New Jersey or Louisiana?

Hello,

I, as the Executive Director of the St. Tammany Humane Society, am proud to be the harbinger of exciting news. After 5 grueling months of competition, the St. Tammany Humane Society is in 2nd place in a national contest to win a million dollar shelter makeover (a New Jersey shelter has swiped 1st place from under our paws)! We have an actual chance of winning this contest with the hopes of building a brand new shelter (we are a no-kill shelter, so a bigger facility is sorely needed).

So where do you come in? Keep reading….

The website sponsoring this contest is ZooToo.com. ZooToo is a website catering to pet owners and animal lovers the world over. I am personally asking you to give just a few minutes of your time and register as a supporter of the St. Tammany Humane Society on the website. Participation is free (and fun for all those with pets to brag about). All you need to do is go to – zootoo.com and register as a supporter of the St. Tammany Humane Society (we are listed under the zip code 70433) and we receive points.

This is truly an incredible opportunity that we find ourselves engaged in; an incredible challenge to have an impact on our homeless furry friends just by a few clicks of the mouse. So please be a part of the St. Tammany Humane Society’s historic win on ZooToo and bring the million dollars home to Louisiana!!! This will not cost you a cent. The contest ends on March 13th.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our unique opportunity and I hope to thank you soon for the effort you put into our victory for orphaned pets. Please forward this email along to friends and family.

Humanely Yours,

Vaughn Maurice

Executive Director

St. Tammany Humane Society
