Google Spam email
Date: 12 December 2007

We recently reported on Google Adwords spam email. This one is similar.

There is currently an email circulating which says that it comes from:

Google NewZeland SubmitSite@Google.Co.Nz

The heading of the email is:

“Your Current Google New Zeland Website Listing”
(note the spelling error!)

The content of the email actually directs you to a third party submission service and implies that it will get you in “Google's Top10 listings and 200 other worldwide search engines”


This seems like a pretty amateur and blatant attempt to pretend that it is Google themselves recommending this service. Clearly it is not, and seems to be spam that is also “spoofing” a Google email address.

We suggest you ignore this email or report it to Google if you receive it. Automated submission services are not recommended.

For advice on marketing your web site ask the advice of your developer or a web marketing company like us. Net Action Ltd www.netaction.co.nz
