Press Release Body: Autoresponders are a perfect way to increase traffic to your
site. They can save many valuable hours by automatically answering emails concerning
frequently asked questions about a service or product or by sending a welcome letter
to new members of your program. There are many ways that autoresponders can help
your business. One of the most important is their ability to track the effectiveness
of your promotions. Since autoresponders are one of the most popular marketing tools
available today, they are being used by a lot of different kinds of business and
websites. Some of these take advantage of the system to use the autoresponders in a
negative manner. You should be aware of some of the "Golden Rules" when using
autoresponders.

Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder Address When Submitting to Search Engines.

Since you will most likely submit your site to search engines such as Google or
Yahoo!, directories, classifieds, and free for all sites, you should be made aware
of the fact that these sites commonly use an autoresponder as well. If you were to
use your autoresponder to contact these companies, their autoresponder will reply to
yours and so on and so on. Thus creating a cycle of autoresponses that will flood
your email box and theirs as well.

Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Subscribe to Ezines or Discussion Forums.

Since most of the time an Ezine will send you updates and new information regularly,
your auto responder will send them a message each time. In a discussion forum, every
person in the discussion forum will receive your auto response. This can be
irritating and most of the time you will be unsubscribed. It is often hard for the
administrators of the forum or ezine to determine who is using the autoresponse and
therefore it is simply common courtesy to never use an autoresponer in this manner.

Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Take Advantage Of Unsuspecting Individuals.

Some very unprofessional companies will use autoresponders to respond to an
automated message when this is done the address in the "from" field will be
automatically subscribed to their mailing list. This is a extremely un ethical use
of autoresponders and those who do it are in jeopardy of creating a very negative
image of themselves and their company. Rather than promote their service or
business, this usually leads to people becoming very upset and spreading a negative
word about your company rather than a good one.

The Internet can be a great place to do business and autoresponders can be an
excellent way to save time, however when used in an unprofessional way, they can
lead to frustration and aggravation for others. Your company will suffer the loss of
much business if you choose to participate in these abusive practices. The
appropriate use of auto responders can generate a large amount of business, while
inappropriate use can drive away that business.
