The importance of the "sales@domainname.com" address


When you're in business for yourself, you're ever so busy and quite often don't find out about the latest trends. Things that could be ever so important to you.


Likewise, without an e-mail address that anyone can guess, it can be hard to find you. It's even worse if your web designer is one of those arty types who obfuscates e-mail addresses!


By using "sales@yourdomainname.com" you can be very sure that you can know everything you've ever wanted to know and more. Truly!


The "sales@..." address at some of the business domain names I own are such busy addresses it's not funny. If I had erectile dysfunction, wanted a huge vibrator (that looks more like a Thermos than anything else, actually) or fake luxury goods - well - so many kind purveyors have already told me where to find those! All kinds of amazing offers! I can get an extra ten thousand Facebook friends for only a hundred bucks! Same goes for Twitter. One cent per friend? Who knew bots were that cheap!


And they even prefer Western Union as their payment method. So generous!


Amazingly, so many of my relatives are dead and there are unclaimed funds. It's amazing because in total, my relatives have made close to one billion dollars. Even more amazing? My surname is really rare. I didn't know that there were so many people in my extended family who kicked the bucket... let alone who were born!


The best part - and I love this - is that I won the lottery! And I didn't even pay to be in it. Isn't that amazing? Talk about the providence of faith! The funds processor only wants a few hundred bucks and then I can have millions remitted to my personal account.


419'ers come along too. They're so nice. Lost funds which they want to give to Christian charities but they want my staff to be the intermediaries. So very generous, despite being thieves... and wanting pre-payment for their efforts.


Yup. We get our tits spammed off.


We even occasionally hear from genuine customers too.


Use some form of obfuscation for real e-mail addresses.
