Start of the Memorial Day Spam Storm Coming

With the down turn in the US economy more people are turning to the web for the best deal so expect vendors to be even more aggressive in their approach to getting eyeballs on ads and this includes sending more e-mail marketing as this is the least cost advertising venue.

The spammers have been using e-mail for years now because it works and the big marketers have joined in as a scan of some of the recent subject lines processed by CudaMail shows.

Some of these are spam and some are just marketing messages:

---

Alarm systems.
"5 Horrible Home-Invasion Statistics."
"Secure your home today"

"Live Life to the fullest"
"May 21st - Ready to Process Reorder"
"Cleanse your digestive system and feel great."
