Well all you've done is get your site blocked by 99.9% of the cruising
community who know Spammers LIE and on general principles dont buy from
spammers or other dishonest *******s. You've just put yourself in the
same category as the ******* who email offers of little blue pills to
underage schoolgirls. Elementary Internet Marketing 101 - *DONT* SPAM
USENET OR EMAIL. It only takes ONE ****ed off recipient who doesn't
mind a bit of illegality to DDOS you off the net.

@s48g2000cws.googlegroups.com:

Hey Larry don't get your panties all in a bunch, I just wanted people

Can you imagine what this newsgroup would look like if every boat crap
manufacturer who was looking for a free ad on usenet were to post just
one message per week "wanting people to check out our boats"? Shall we
include ever dealer that has internet access? How about all the marinas
and boatyards that want us to take a look, too?

That's precisely why my panties get in a wad when I see it. Usenet is
one of the few places still guarded against the spam by its users.
Posting ads usually makes us angry at the poster, even if we don't post a
nasty reply. That's not exactly the attitude you need to sell someone a
boat is it?

Post to your heart's content in rec.boats.marketplace where we don't HAVE
to see it unless we're in the market. Leave the rest of the boating
newsgroups for conversations.....

If you're REALLY interested in us buying something, take an example from
Peggie Hall, who used to run Electrasan. Peggie never spams these
groups. However, her very helpful presence and always-willing-to-help
expertise helping boaters with head problems, even on competitor's
equipment, has probably sold more product than all the spam posts ever
posted since the newsgroup's beginning. A little market research of the
participants to this group and the other groups Peggie participates in
would reveal how many heads people bought just because of her
participation and just genuine friendliness.

Join us and lend a hand....but PLEASE don't spam us, ok?

If you *really* have reformed your ways, it would be worth your while to
get a new domain name and email address. Its too late for the old ones,
*someone* will have them in a public blacklist somewhere so they are
forever tainted . . .

You could redirect your old ones to the new ones so you dont have to
immediately reprint all your paper advertising.

NEVER post an advertisment or commercial announcement to a USENET group
without checking that its *explicitly* permitted under that groups
charter (google 'groupname charter') and its also advisable to check
if there is a group FAQ as well.

USENET is *NOT* GOOGLE GROUPS, USENET is a world wide distributed
bulletin board system that grew out of the UNIX programming community in
the early '80s. Google is just a gateway and an archive. There *ARE*
google's own groups, but they dont propagate outside google. Clueeless
Google posters have replaced clueless AOLers as the main source of
unwanted gabble on USENET. If you post via google, you will need to
maintain a higher standard of nettiquette than average to be taken
seriously.

Its a *LOT* of work to achive any recognition on USENET that actually
translates into real customers, as it will take a lot of providing
helpful answers to peoples questions before people trust your advice and
start contacting you directly. I *hope* you have an interest in boats
other than just selling them, as if so, skim the last few months of
rec.boats, rec.boats.cruising and rec.boats.electronics, then lurk until
someone posts a question you can answer well, If the answer is 'I can
supply that locally, email me' so be it but dont offer anything for sale
unasked. Mostly you need to just be giving good advice. (Dont try to
get 'cute', there are many former boaters who have given up for health
reasons, who have *nothing* better to do than check posting histories
and locations etc. to see if a question was asked purely to give a
spammer an excuse to reply with a blatently commercial post. Also you
*dont* want to have this grief twice.)

Finally, protect your email address against spammers (hint, they
download headers not whole messages so put your real email in the
signature not the from field and if you fake an address for from, make
sure its either .invalid TLD or @example.com so noone else gets spam
targeted for you dumped on them) and pick a posting name that if its not
your real name, at least is a human name you are happy to anwer to if
someone contacts you. . .

This is all the slack you are likely to get around here and more than
many would cut you. If in doubt ask first, forgiveness afterwards is
rarely granted. Good Luck.

If the company's willing to spam newsgroups and insult the members one can
only imagine how poorly they'll handle actual customers. NO SALE.

Yeah, IF it had been on topic for *this* group (hint: it isn't) and if
the charter for the group you post in permits commercial announcements.
Otherwise although you can introduce yourself in *any* group if you
dont give product, price or contact details, you would do well *not* to
mention your website until you can answer a *specific* question by
directing the person asking it to a *specific* page of your site.

If you are experienced with boat electronics and electrical systems,
stick around otherwise find an appropriate group, read their charter
then decide if it allows you to publicize your business (more often
than once a month is counterproductive unless you have genuine new
products. Thats new on the market, not just new to you) or whether
you'll have to settle in for the long haul being Mr Nice & Helpfull,
being very discrete about giving your company a mention.

There is one further trap, Many of us *dont* like being emailed 'offers'
unless we specifically ask to take it to email. The etiquette of
newsgroups is that replys to on topic stuff stay in the group so all can
read and contribute, and off topic and private matters are taken to
email by mutual agreement. Anyone who posts a question and asks for
email replies only is disrespecting the group (They *may* ask for email
as well if they have a good reason like they're off cruising, or may
offer to follwup with a summary of the replies e.g. if they are polling
for the popularity of some device but thats getting complicated).
Basically dont email USENET posters for *anything* commercial unless
they ask you to.

We do appreciate that you are taking the time to learn, have used your
real name and haven't provided any more links to your site in the wrong
newsgroup. Thank you Don for respecting this group.

If you are going to continue to use USENET even as a private individual
and you want to make friends, not enemies, you need to find out about
quoting, and set yourself up with a proper signature file (both are
awkward to do through Google, but it is possible)

@k78g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:

Nope...it's still spamming. Just rewording an ad doesn't change it....

The acceptable post would be in reply to some guy with a blowup dink
who's not quite sure how to patch it so it will be safe. You introduce
yourself with your credentials, ONCE, or better yet a simple tagline
under your name at the end of the post so everyone can see who you are.
Then, you help him patch his boat, at no cost to either, with helpful
instructions, even if it's not your boat or your responsibility, coming
off as a real helpful guy to have on his side. Everyone soon notices how
wonderful that guy who owns hy-seas is on the newsgroup and makes a
mental note, probably subliminal, stored away for that day when they've
had enough pumping up that leaky old Avon for the last time. "Hey, I
remember the guy who owned Hy-Seas was real helpful to the folks on
rec.boats.cruising. Let's buy his boat this time. I never saw anyone
from Avon logon like he did to help other boaters." He already has a
personal relationship with Don, the owner because he talked to him on
Usenet. If you owned a Ford, but talked to the guy who owned Honda on
Usenet, would you be buying another Ford? Everyone on here will also
tell their boater friends what a great guy you are for helping fix stuff.
As you can see, this is just an inverse pyramid scheme. You make a
friend with these guys, they tell those guys who tell other guys. It
works, really!

Heads and head equipment - Peggie Hall
NMEA multiplexers and equipment - Meindert from Shipmodul
the list goes on....Wanna join us?

Make a signature file for your newsgroup client that puts:

--
Don
Owner - Hy-Seas Inflatable Boats
(put your webpage here but not your phone number or email addy)

Spambots harvest phone numbers and email addresses from all newsgroups
24/7. Your email doesn't need any more Viagra spam, right? The double
dash over Don is a usenet custom to designate this as a repetitive
signature on all your posts.

That little signature after your name is all the advertising on usenet
you need to do and most won't object at all, especially if you don't act
like a car salesman on commission. Notice how EVERY time you post a
helpful post or even just join in our conversations about boating, you've
just put your company name in front of the users to love....(c; Because
of your sig, you'll be the target of inflatable boat problems from people
in need. That's the point, right?

If I owned your company, I'd also find the time to join cruiser forums on
webpage-based systems, too. Same thing...help out, join in, signature
line to tell them who you are and the webpage addy so they can find you
if they want. Lots of cruisers have no idea or access to usenet
newsgroups. They aren't so internet savvy and only use webpages.

I also owe you a word of warning in all this. If your company ****es off
just ONE boater who has access to forums or this usenet newsgroup, it's
awful hard to get their trust back. IN spite of the acid posts you got
in this thread, you have admitted you are new to Usenet and the group, so
I think we could be very forgiving in the very short term. Longterm will
be up to you.

Some day you'll get a request for service on your own boats from this
newsgroup. Someone will have something wrong. Take my advise.....don't
take it to email or phone, unless you're gonna screw him, which he will
tell us about later, anyway. Help him right in front of the whole world,
right on the newsgroup. Leave it public so everyone of these cruisers
can see what great customer service can be had from Hy-Seas. Talk to him
here. I dare you. Don't be surprised if you get a few negative posts
during the conversation. Concentrate your efforts on your customer with
an eye towards customer satisfaction. That ONE thread, properly handled
and solving his problem, can easily be more important to your company
than all the magazine ads you bought last year, which everyone knows is a
lie......and it costs you NOTHING but a little risk. Just sit patiently
by and wait for your chance to show your company off to them. THEY have
to do it, not you. Don't, as some have done on many groups, try to plant
someone. That might really trash your company. HONESTY, that's all they
want....

Dare ya.....(c;

Just change your email to something bogus. Use mine if you like:

You can always paste in your sig from a text file you keep open in a
notepad window. N.B. the sig. seperator is NOT '--' on a line of its
own, its '-- ' on a line of its own (strip the single quotes)
You may also find it helpfull to read
http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/unice.htm
It will save you a lot of grief.

P.S. I have a genuine inflatable question for you over on rec.boats,
check the thread you started with your announcement.

P.P.S. rec.boats is a bit of a zoo with many political and other off
topic posters, you need to have a good sense of humour and a thick skin
to hang out there, but -at least in the season- there *is* a fair bit of
boating content. Everybody is a little cranky at the moment owing to the
weather being unsuitable for boating . . .
