Luxury Homes of Sarasota
This morning I was spammed by Shark Byte Media and their new project, LuxuryHomesofSarasota.com. I’ve never signed up for anything from these people and a huge pet peeve of mine is when I get unsolicited email. Especially when it’s marked “High Importance”, which is just too arrogant and annoying. Furthermore it took me only about 3 seconds to figure out that the copy on their pages is the same as 2 other realtors’ websites.
To recap: if you want to draw the ire of the web community, harvest a bunch of email addresses, spam them with a “high importance” header, and put up a site with copied content. The beauty of the web is that it’s so transparent - if you do anything like this, it’s bound to come back and Byte you in the rear.
I hope none of the “real” Sarasota realtors signs up for this thing. There are a number of great Sarasota realtors and brokereages that sell truly luxury homes, just don’t see them using this website.

Received my 4th spam email from Shark Byte Media on July 28th. Although it wasn’t marked “high importance”, it still was heralded as an important announcement - they got a #4 ranking in one of the 3 search engines for the 3 words in their domain name! Holy Christ! Send out the press releases, boys! Or better yet, scrape some email addresses and spam even more people!
