Spamming & Scamming, Really? Is It An Issue?
This is a personal view and I
have no way of predicting the future. With that said, this is what I believe.
I personally have been in and
out of marketing on the internet since around 1995 or 1996 and I have seen
every kind of scam and spam there is to see. I like many here have had the
opportunity to watch the next generation of communication take its shape and
form the next best thing since the telephone.
What I see in APSense is a
very large group of very professional marketers that I am very proud to have
the chance to get to know. I have never seen the likes of people at APSense
that genuinely care and take the young and inexperienced under their wing and
shape them into a new generation of seasoned marketers and professionals.
What I am seeing here is a
pattern. As the new copy and paste addicts are finding out with every post they
make is a series of negative comments educating them and definitely sending a
message that this will simply not make it here. With every post they are
learning that copy & paste is a waste of time. It is unproductive and
whatever plan they have for making some kind of profit from it is a complete failure.
As far as the scammers are
concerned, I have heard that APSense has become a playground for them to thrive
on. I DON’T BELIEVE THIS FOR ONE SECOND! What I believe is that with the
popularity of the “Looked Up To Marketer”, (and I don’t mean this as an insult
in any way shape or form) there is a truth. The truth is that at APSense, for every
scammer there is a whole new class of people who really want to make their
living from the vast market called the internet that soon anybody who wants to
think of APSense as a target to spam or scam will regret it.
I can only say one thing
about the quality of APSense Senior Members. “Imitation Is The Sincerest Form
Of Flattery” and that my friends is the single most endearing quality that you
have passed down and will keep on passing along to those who venture here.
This is the single most
reason that keeps me here and in my opinion that is the best reason of all.
With all the change I still believe that APSense is the best Business Social
Network around and with this said I believe it can only get better.

It's not a problem. It just didn't relate to what my point is about.

Sorry Paula and Philippe I will not let this become a personal battle ground. I deleted those two comments because they served no constructive purpose here. Thanks for your comment Neville.

Here's a tactic to consider. Send firm and constructive comments privately. Doing that in public, on comments seen by everyone, just attracts more attention. Well stated Roosevelt. It looks like we will have to do a little sifting of our own to separate the good seed from the weeds. I guess, in the end, we all need to do our own Due Diligence, and by really networking with trusted friends and contacts at sites like APSense we will be able to do that better.

Thanks Don. Creative people always see a problem essence. I earn money and feel good here. It is not a place where on spam can be earned and spamers will understand it very quickly. I want to note the fact that except all advantages set forth above apsense has good indexation of a qualitative content in search engines and this is one of the most important advantages of the our site.

Paula, It doesn't matter anyway because as long as I stay positive I will be ok with it and so will many others. Thanks for commenting.

Well said Roosevelt! I needed to start giving myself a positive affirmation as I have been in the shade as of late and this is where my thoughts took me today. Topped you for your very positive comment..

Yup but who is going to send the firm and constructive comments? As for the spammers, most of them do not read comments. Some of them may leave but there are new ones joining everyday so the spam and scam will remain an issue.

Very positive and uplifting article. Every social site is going to have "spammers", "scammers" and "trolls". Good Admins can keep such negative Internet marketers to a minimum but it is futile to eliminate them completely. Even God allows the "wheat and the tares" to grow up together until the End. By positively putting forth legtimate and legal programs and tactfully pointing out the illegal and false hope programs, APSense can be a good example of an ethical but yet vibrant social site for bot

Some people believe that new members who send an unsolicited link once or twice is a spammer and that's that. I agree that some might not be interested in learning to do better, but after a time, they leave, since they don't get attention. The more we send firm but constructive comments, the better APSense will become.
