I have established a new company, NetInSights, Inc., that will take surveys over the Internet. To be successful, we need to recruit several thousand persons (Internet users) to serve on a standing panel of respondents, whom we will survey from time to time. There are several types of rewards for these respondents. Is there a legitimate way for us to send out notices to all Internet users, making this information available to them? What is the actual series of steps we would have to take to post such widespread notices? NetInSights can be found at http://netinsights.com Thanks for any help you can provide.

pp001427@interramp.com shaped the electrons to say: >Is there a legitimate way for us to send out notices to all Internet users, >making this information available to them? What is the actual series of steps >we would have to take to post such widespread notices? Nope. In fact, if you even attempt to post to every news group or anything close to spread the word you will be the next anti-christ online. Everyone who has done this has had thousands of pieces of hate email, snail mail, FAX machines jammed, harrasing phone calls, etc... Not something you want to do. There is *no* effective way to reach the entire Internet population that is acceptable to the community. Oh, spamming also tends to get all of your posts deleted. There are robots online that do nothing but delete posts from users who do that kind of thing. Also, cold email (sending email directly about a venture like this) is STRONGLY opposed. It is junk mail. So any way to reach everyone will simply ruin your firms reputation, not just online either, it tends to reach the the popular press in the end. Sorry. The best you can do is setup a Web page and hope people come to you. Register with all the search engines, etc... -- <SIG> megazone@world.std.com 510-735-8583 <A HREF="http://world.std.com/~megazone/"> MegaZone's Waste Of Time </A> Moderator: anime fanfic archive, ftp.std.com /archives/anime-fan-works; rec.arts.anime.stories - Maintainer: Ani Difranco Mailing List - Mail to majordomo@world.std.com with 'subscribe ani-difranco' in the body. </SIG>
