Having topic related inquiry forms on that article inviting people to ask questions on the subject has helped me get in touch with more people than the opt-in.

Are you saying that my article implies the use of spamming or are you being sarcastic? If it is the first, then I think you misunderstood my position. When I build my lists, people come to my site and they opt in through a double opt in process. That way, I know for sure that they want to subscribe because they need to verify their info before I can send them anything. As for that sentence that I have under the opt in box, it is there for a reason. First, I don't sell or rent my lists (they need to know that) and second, it improves conversions. If you have any other questions, let me know. Peter Kolat Hi Lisa,

This reduces the spamminess (is that even a word, haha) of an e-mail list.
