Comments on: Bad year coming for sloppy marketers http://blog.wordtothewise.com/2010/01/bad-year-coming-for-sloppy-marketers/ Email, Delivery, Spam and more Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:06:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jared Kimball http://blog.wordtothewise.com/2010/01/bad-year-coming-for-sloppy-marketers/comment-page-1/#comment-3743 Jared Kimball Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:37:30 +0000 http://blog.wordtothewise.com/?p=1176#comment-3743 I couldn't agree with you more. Email marketers need to tidy up their practices or else they're going to feel the impact on their wallets. Once that happens they'll make a knee jerk reaction, but it will be to late. That's why I focus on trying to teach email marketers best practices, so they stop annoying people and lower their complaint rates by setting the proper expectations. If marketers understand that email is different then it was 10 years ago, I'm sure they will see the benefit of using clean email marketing practices. Keep up the great posts!

While it is good that bad senders will find it harded to send, is there any prospect that ISPs will start tackling the huge number of zombies? I suspect that Comcast like many others are avoiding tackling this. Perhaps you could do a post on what is stopping ISPs from tidying their back yard. Is it the expense of new equipment?
