The End of Spam - Rebirth of Sucessful Internet Companies?
Now that the goverment is finally taking steps to reduce spam(slow as they may be) eventually I really think we'll see a reduced amount once lawsuits are actually filed against spammers.
Since businesses will then no longer be able to advertise through current spam channels, they'll have to turn back to banner ads and other forms of acceptable advertising.
I think as an internet community we need to embrace advertising on the web the same way as on TV. You are getting a free service. Someone has to pay for it. I think net advertising will pick up again in the next few years allowing websites to deliver better content and features.
What do you guys think about it?

Yes, I was reffering to the US govt but I know other countries are taking initiatives against it. I'm sure they will move some spamming operations oversees to protected countries.
However the fact is that most small to medium sized, legitimate business aren't going to take that route. I can't see an end to spam totally but I think revenue from net advertising will increase because of the crackdowns.

yea we do pay per click. At first we had to experiment with different words. Some are more expensive than others.
What I've found through the statistics I've tracked is that more targeted is better.
For example we used to have the words "darkroom supplies"
that cost us $50 for 2 weeks and gave us 0 orders. When we narrowed the darkroom supplies to actual supplies and specific items it costs us $6.00 and generated $1000.
