Spam your way out of the credit crunch
Times are hard and they look like they will be getting harder for most people. Spammers however have some advantages over the rest when times get hard: -
The click based spammers (Adsense, AFF ppc offers etc) don’t suffer the same problems as those selling a physical product as they don’t actually have to sell anything. They get paid for the simple action of a ‘click’
Even if you are skint you can still window shop and click.. They also have the advantage that they aren’t tied to a product or service so swapping out to an alternative offer is pretty painless, as long as there are advertisers they will prosper.
I think that there will be advertisers throughout any downturn as it remains one of the most measurable ways to spend on advertising there is.
Those spammers who have created networks to promote a set niche will have to do some adjustments it seems but they are often in a position of power where they can sell their cheaply gained traffic to the highest and most desperate merchant.
Spammers often also have the luxury of being able to earn a living whilst the spam adds to what they earn, giving them security and making the downturn less painful.
So if your feeling the credit crunch fire up the spam and ride it out.
