\"\"Here is a question I received from Linda regarding my suggested use of email forwarding addresses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Rosalind… It has been my weekend project to read your book<\/a>… wow – thank you! I am inspired to get started now.<\/p>\n

I have one question please: How does registering an email address for each merchant control spam?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many thanks.<\/p>\n

Linda<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Linda! That's a good question!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, here's how it works.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You join Merchants A, B and C's affiliate programs.<\/p>\n

For each, you create a separate email address, eg. merchant-a@mydomain.com, merchant-b@mydomain.com and so forth.<\/p>\n

Over time you receive standard affiliate information from Merchants A and C, but then you start to notice that a lot of spam is being sent to the merchant-b@mydomain.com.<\/p>\n

In all likelihood Merchant B probably sold your address or are affiliate spammers themselves.<\/p>\n

You can do one of two things.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Terminate your association with their program, or;<\/li>\n
  2. Change the email address to merchant-b-2@mydomain.com and see whether the situation improves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My choice would be #1 above.<\/p>\n

    Hope that helps!<\/p>\n

    Cheers,<\/p>\n
