You can not, in my opinion,what you propose. It is the
very definition of the word spam, isn't it? What you
are attempting is to send unrequested advertising i.e
spam. What you need to do is learn how to advertise by
forming associations with other sites, buying banner
ads, advertising off-line and yes, have a bugdget to
gain a foothold. Build a site, make it worthy by adding
value added content , list on the search engines barter
with other sites but please stay out of my email
folder!! You do not have the right, whether you like it
personally or not. Do it to the wrong party and you
mind as well kiss your site, business good bye.
