Spam Poetry
No, I'm not referring to poems about the tasty meat product. It's those wonderfully beat sounding words that can be found hidden in useless email messages. Senders can be clever so they're usually not easy to find. The words can be the same color as the background or set to a size of less than 2px. You should look because, like prospecting in 1849, you may find gold.
The purpose for these hidden words is to confuse spam filters. Which is why they are hidden. This is illegal by the way, so don't get any ideas about trying to improve your email marketing results. Every once in a while a spammer will mess up and place these words right out in the open. Then, of course, it's real easy to spot them. Like this poetic masterpiece I found in spam for a low fixed mortgage:
In the actual subject line:
apostle naples nettle methanol grocery ineffectual emigrate aspidistra brahms healthy fraught carmichael dogleg cherubim book perturbation bragging because sequestration brood teflon sophism florentine gradual sheriff cornelius emilio aeneas yin maximum withdrew lin stack cottage walls
Then, after the sales pitch, it went straight into:
defensive and citywide it brush be radix it's quint may bittersweet in illegitimacy try chlordane be cumulate in packet the bleat try eagan it's louisville may aromatic try elm be bradley in wiretapping it song or clare and ditty or snuffer in incommensurable in corpsman a already may afterimage may provost or eighteenth , dowel not telephonic not trianon not bureau not cancellate! deflater see conquer! Keine email hier, debussy it's hateful not try rifleman and carmine be the coulomb and befall the or assyriology it stochastic on
If you find any gems like this, please let me know :0)
