Contact Form Posting: Does it still work in 2024?

[RhebaReaux]

I came across an old copy of GSA Website Contact Form Poster on my PC so decided to give it a go again. I uploaded it to a VPS, stacked it with 3m contact leads, and tried a few approaches. So far I have discovered:
- Click-throughs vary from <0.1% to absolute best case 0.7% - I couldn't get it any better than this. I'm following Ryan (@loopline) and Chase Reiner's videos. I started with a real email address but after my inbox was flooded with acknowledgements, I moved to random emails.
- Conversions are precisely zero - so either my offers are terrible or I didn't wait long enough. Typically I am sending forms to English-language websites - I tried filtering to top tier countries as well, but that didn't really do much. I generally send each campaign to between 40k to 300k sites - so maybe I'm not being patient enough.
- I tried sending clicks to a signup form, or also directly linked to high conversion affiliate offers. Obviously nothing is working.

So my question is: is anyone having any success with contact form spamming in 2024? Any top tips? (BTW: the software is great - the issue is probably in the principle or my execution)

UPDATE: I'm giving away a free SEO course on Gumroad as bait - it's 12 modules long, and I think it's a reasonably attractive offer, for anyone with a website. Have sent 0.5m contact forms, got 350 clicks and no conversions. So I think contact form marketing doesn't work - at least not the way I'm doing it.
Anyone else think differently? @loopline ?

If my memory serves me correctly, a member here at Deleted member 752298 was doing the same thing but pushing [themeforest affiliate program], and he netted a nice amount. I don't know the thread, but anything related to "getting premium WordPress themes for free" will probably give you a better open rate.

Agreed: my VPS banned me

Ah well, I learned something I guess

Got banned due to spam complaints. Fair enough: I have learned a lesson.

Unfortunately, they patched this method a few months ago.

rule #1 - always use proxies when spamming!

Please, can you share the thread where you presented this method?

There is a lot of replies here already, but it depends on the offer. The subject and message the most important part.

of course the landing page you get them to is the next important part. Subject isn't too hard, keep it short and sweet.

Message is not too bad, 1-5 sentences, and think about it from their perspective. Remember people take action because of WIIFM. Whats in it for me. So think about how its going to make them money, save them time etc..

The lander should be just an opportunity to give you their email, no other links or options on the page. Ive even done a great title and an opt in form on a white page and got great success, like 20% opt ins over and over.
