From internet-marketing@popco.com Sun Jul 9 17:33:10 1995 X-Org: Point of Presence Company, Seattle, Washington Subject: Information about Inet-Marketing Internet Marketing Discussion list info June 28, 1995 First Frequently Asked Question Is there a FAQ for this list? This is more or less it. The topic of marketing and Internet is a broad one and controversial. This list was established to discuss *appropriate* marketing of services, ideas, and items to and on the Internet. At this writing, over 4,400 people and sites involved in all aspects of marketing, sales, programming, journalism, and other fields are actively participating in this forum. This list is a good source both for people who want to create Internet sites, market products and goods in appropriate ways, develop payment systems, or write about what's going on here. Guidelines and Focus Of List Topics The topics of this list are limitless, but should be focused around: How to reach consumers/end-users/purchasers How to find out how many people are actually out there on the 'Net How to advertise and market appropriately Ordering and credit card purchasing, including how to get merchant status Secure ordering systems (NetSite/SSL, SHTTP, etc.) Digital cash and related systems (DigiCash, CyberCash, First Virtual Holdings, and other systems) Trademarks and copyright Posting Recommendations and Guideline Be pithy. Only a few posts per day per person. New material is better than quoted material. Posts with inappropriate material will be rejected out of hand. This includes attacks on other people and commercial appeals. Don't quote entire posts. Please choose the necessary minimum to quote and reply to that. Please keep signatures (.sig's) to 8 lines or fewer. Longer sigs will be shortened arbitrarily. Make sure that any quoted material is properly cited (i.e., "Etaoin Shrdlu writes:" followed by the quoted material identified by some mark as quoted lines). Moderated List This list is moderated. That means that I review all posts before they get exploded to the list. There are options if you don't like that (see below). I reject posts on very few grounds. Sometimes, it's because the post is far away from the guidelines above. Mostly, however, it's because the material is sufficiently unrelated to the list.
