Does spam come from aliens?

Spam seems to love my blog site. It has attracted soo many spam emails (400 and counting) that I think this site has a secret Spam fan club : )

Most of the spam email comments to this site are really flattering; some are just a series of letters and numbers (maybe a secret code for something?) and some, I believe are from aliens from another planet; They are just weird.

Everyone suffers from spam emails but I really don’t get the point? Are the aliens just sending these to annoy us earthlings?

Well I got news for you “I don’t like Spam!” never did. Even at school (and that was some time ago now) it was horrid and now it’s just simply annoying.

I know it takes less than a 100th second to delete a spam email but if anyone can suggest best spam filters I am sure my readers would be interested.

Can i give you a haircut, I’m very cheap?

I can use a pair of scissors. I can use a comb (although I haven’t used one for some time).

So why don’t you let me cut your hair?

Many SMEs design and produce there own marketing material because they think they can save money by designing this themselves. They have a PC with a design programme and they can use “clip art” or download pictures, but the end result is same as me cutting someone’s hair.

Ok, their hair will be shorter; but it will have no style and be a poor effort compared to the professional hairdresser.

The person whose hair I would cut will not see the results (unless they look in a mirror), but everyone else will see and this will reflect on how they are perceived. Which won’t be good. In fact it would be a disaster!

So when the SMEs marketing material is produced by unqualified designers who does this reflect poorly on?

Yes the company.

Money is tight, but be aware that poorly produced marketing material can do you more harm than good.
