"I do NOT spam because I do not believe in it, but some do. Do you think KIDS do not surf to your WEBSITE. GROW UP if you doubt it. They do make up a majority of your surfers. Look, all i am saying is spamming is a marketing tool, so lets not bash it too bad shall we? Or am I totally off in your opinion? "
I am not going to claim to be a saint nor do I want to sound self rightous. Yet there are ethical ways to cater to adults who want to purchase what we sell. Children are not the target market, they do not buy what we sell. We do not try to attract children to our sites and that is the issue here. Not the random surfer but the solicitation.
If you agree with that one idea then marketing can and should be targeted toward the potential buyers; good business in any business. SPAM is a marketing tool, one we elect not to use, but a tool nevertheless.
The major issue revolved around perceptions of the public. If you run an adult site ethically you can still target your market and make money. The law at least in the US is ambiguous at best so ethics are the only tool.
My suggestion is that ethical adult webmasters support industry organizations that try to create a positive public perception of the industry. Will we ever be saints? I hope not that is not our business but we can be ethical.
