I wonder what the actual sales rate is for Spam from China? 0.02%???
Is this right?
'A frequent refrain in our forums whenever spam is mentioned is: "well, who clicks on this garbage, anyway?" According to a new spam study, e-mail spam generally gets 1 response per 12,500,000 emails. The study was conducted by a team of seven computer scientists from University of California, Berkeley and UC, San Diego (UCSD) who infiltrated the Storm botnet network. Using 'proxy bots' the researchers used 75,869 zombie machines to conduct a fake spam campaign. "After 26 days, and almost 350 million email messages, only 28 sales resulted," says the research paper — a response rate of just 0.00001 per cent - but still hugely profitable.'
