"Stop Spam Before It Starts" - Great Big Noise® Introduces SpamRank™ Pre-Send Spam Analysis Technology

Marina Del Rey, California – July 10, 2003 - Not a second too soon, Great Big Noise® (http://www.greatbignoise.com), the leader in Macromedia® Flash™ based e-mail marketing and e-mail marketing technology, introduces a new tool in the war against spam. Dubbed SpamRank™, the technology will help e-mail marketers reduce the risk of launching e-mail campaigns that could be perceived by recipients as spam.

"E-mail is such a powerful technology that an error in wording, or a poorly targeted address list, can destroy your e-mail marketing campaign's effectiveness in one click of the mouse," says Ron Evans, Great Big Noise President. "In such a sensitive industry, an ounce of prevention really is better than a pound of cure. Our SpamRank technology helps responsible e-mail marketers determine potential issues with an e-mail campaign before it is sent out."

SpamRank uses a variety of artificial intelligence techniques to analyze the content of a message, providing a score that rates a particular campaign's 'spamminess'. The higher the score, the higher chance that recipients will perceive the message as spam. This also allows marketers to determine if there are potential issues with wording in their own e-mail marketing campaigns that might trigger anti-spam filters.

SpamRank will also examine a marketer's mailing list before it is activated in an e-mail campaign. SpamRank taps known suppression lists such as The Direct Marketing Association's e-MPS list, third-party spam reporting systems, and other sources of information, to create a database of names of those most likely to reject e-mail marketing. By comparing each entry on a marketer's address list against this database, that list is given a SpamRank. This allows companies that want to remain ethical e-mailers to avoid potentially questionable lists, or take other corrective actions in advance of sending out a campaign.

SpamRank is available now as part of the e-mail marketing services from Great Big Noise. For more information, please call 1-866-273-6245 or visit the Great Big Noise web site at http://www.greatbignoise.com.
