how often do you sign up to e newsletters during registrations?

[yoda313]

So do you always click yes when you register software or buy something online?

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. If its net heavy software than I'll probably sign up for updates to stay current. But if its something I won't be using constantly than I usually click no.

How about you?

Sometimes, but I use a secondary email for most registrations so I will probably miss the newsletter among all the spaaaaaaaaaaaaaam .

How often do I sign up for them? Never. That doesn't mean I don't still get them. In most cases they are poorly written articles full of useless information and even more useless links.

Never, and I uncheck all those 'offers'. I also use a secondary email address that I can 'dispose of' if it get over spammed. Never use your primary email address

Rarely. Usually it is only if it is for something I have purchased and really want to be kept updated.

I find that about 1/4 to 1/5 of people who download our software choose to complete the registration forms.

I get huge amounts of spam on one of my accounts (currently about 100 "enlargement" ones, 100 re-fi ones and various others each day) - but it is the price I pay to be accessible to potential clients....

Rarely here too, by checking that box you have no idea what else you're signing up for. There's a few things I'm signed up for such as Google news alerts, phpbb update mailing list and few others but thats about all.

One word spamassassin ,if you're provider doesn't have it request it. If they do tell them to dial the spam score up to about 4.9.

Personally - NEVER

Professionally - Every now and again.

I find that some of the newsletters offered by companies in my line of work are quite helpful. I always have the option to scan and delete or never open (and delete). 8)
