What sells in the Spam world....
Mediapost reported on January 2nd:
In what might seem like a paradox to some, online offers to
purchase prescription erectile dysfunction drug Viagra ranked atop
AOL's "Top 10 Spam Email Subject Lines" of 2003, but
pornographic offers ranked near the bottom of the list at No. 9. Other
top-ranking spam solicitations included offers for other prescription
drugs, as well as online pharmacies (ranked No. 2) that sell them.
Offers to reduce the size of recipients' debt ranked third,
while offers to increase the size of their anatomy (and "improve
your sex life") ranked fourth. Online degrees (5th), lower mortgage
rates (6th), lower insurance rates (7th), work-from-home (8th) and
"as seen on Oprah" (10th) rounded out the top 10 spam subject
lines detected by AOL, mainly from subscribers using its "Report
Spam" button on the AOL service
