Monetizing Spam - The Holy Grail Finally Discovered
I have often posted here about challenges Google faces while addressing a vital Web natural bio resource: Spam. We have already dedicated huge resources to it, such as our much heralded dot-spam initiative that we launched last year at the Annual Summit of the Organization of Spam Exporting Countries (OSEC).
As the single largest importer of crude Spam in the world, Google has been looking for ways to increasingly lower its dependence on this Web resource. Indeed, our commitment to develop efficient alternatives to Spam has already borne fruit in leading Spam exporting nations like Russia, India, Brazil and an Asian country whose name I will not mention due to ongoing federal investigation (just a hint: think Traditional and Simplified.) The governments of these spam-rich countries have come together in an unprecedented show of support.
With the help of Google.org's generous donations and AdSense for Spam revenue, we have finally come to a position where I can now announce that beginning next month, all traffic from Google to Spam will be charged on a case-by-case fee structure. The United States Congress has already passed an historic bill of legislature, paving the way for future infrastructure and subsequent funding at federal level.
As someone who reads Spam for a living, I am obviously thrilled and excited at all the possibilities this opens for developers and content publishers throughout the world.
If you'd like to know more about monetizing spam, do send a few hundred email messages to your respective state or federal representative. Do remember to cc everything to Google!
