Wow! I signed up for this "program" of theirs, and started getting email
from all kinds of sources, not at all what I wanted. I couldn't
unsubscribe, and my emails were unreturned - this has also happened to a
few of my friends. I signed up with a special email alias, as I have
unlimited aliasing on my name, to see if they would sell my email address.
So far, I have recieved 2 mailings to that secret alias - A MLM, and a Web
Site ad. I would suggest staying away from them - the 600 people that may
download your product (how do you know they all came from your ad?) - Are
they worth more than the 90 that get really angry with your company? You
could get a really bad reputation if you aren't careful...
