You must be doing something wrong. ;) After registering a new domain name, I get ~10 poorly worded emails trying to convince me a I need professional web development services. I also get ~15 phone calls over a few weeks from very thick accents and call-center noise in the background telling me that I need professional web development services or search engine optimization. There's usually 1 or 2 calls with the same characteristics telling me that they work for Google and have noticed a problem with my 'listing' for my new site and I need to have them correct it for a small fee because that's how Google makes money.
The phone calls don't happen if I use private registration. ;) -A On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 8:25 AM Stephen Satchell <l...@satchell.net> wrote: > On 04/25/2018 07:10 AM, ke...@contoocook.net wrote: > > Well, personally for me, I use secret registration because I was tired > of all the spam I got.
