Blasting

This generic term is sometimes used loosely for sending out large amounts of (assumed non-spam)

email, such as to multiple eZines or Safelists. See “eZines.”

However, there is a lesser-understood ‘technique’ called Blasting that scammers commonly use to sell software. Beware any Software that claims to “Blast” your website out to large numbers of directories, other websites, classified Ads, FFAs, or even “free” eZine publishers. If they are charging money for this software or service, you won’t ever hear from them again.

If they aren’t charging money for it, then they’re harvesting your email address and you’ll be the next “blastee.”
