Email marketing has been one of the best sources of internet traffic form the beginnings of e-commerce. But with the advent of SPAM, some strong hatred has grown for email  marketing techniques. Great care must be taken when conducting email marketing campaigns. E-mail marketing is popular with companies for several reasonsA mailing list provides the ability to distribute information to a wide range of specific, potential customers at a relatively low cost, an exact return on investment can be tracked, the delivery time for an e-mail message is short, advertiser is able to “push†the message to its  audience, and the E-mail messages are easy to track. Many companies use e-mail marketing to communicate with existing customers, but many other companies send unsolicited bulk e-mail, also known as spam. Privacy has also become an issue with email activity. Virtually every email that you send has to go through a number of computers before it reaches the inbox of the intended receiver and along the way there exists a distinct possibility that an individual could hack into your email and read it. Thus it is imperative that you have a bullet proof password.
