Back in the 70s George Carlin came out
with a comody routine called
The Seven dirty words you can’t say
on TV. In 1978 this routine was central
to a U.S Supreme Court Case in which in
a narrow 5-4 decision the justices
affirmed that the government has the
power to regulate indecent material on
the public airways.
Today in Internet Marketing we have
the Seven dirty words you can’t say in
an email, plus about a hundred more.
Lets see what the big seven are
Free, Cash, Opportunity, Discount, Offer,
Earn, and Amazing
Plus you have phrases that will trigger
the Spam Police
Lets see there is “Act Now” and how about
“One Time” and lets not forget the
flagerant “Great Offer”.
Even words as inocent as Guarantee or
Guaranteed will take your email on a
quick trip to the spam folder.
And you never want to say “Visit our web
site” or “Work at home. The spam cops
will be knocken on your door ready to
tote you away.
I was going to send this email to my
mother, but decided to smail mail instead
I knew it would never get through.

Mom this can save you some serious cash.
Hi Mom
Hey I ran across a great offer the other
day. I know that you are concered about
your perscription costs now that you are
retired. I found a great online pharmacy
in which you could save up to a hundred
dollars per month on your perscriptions.
It is great because you can buy direct
from the web site and they guarantee
2 day delivery. If you buy now they have
a one time offer for a 50% off your first
order. The great part is you can order
a whole years supply with this offer. They
will ship and bill you monthly, so it is
just like buying monthly at a 50% discount.
You should check it out now and get the
details because it is a time limited offer.
