Bypassing Those Pesky Squeeze Pages

I don't mind trading an email addy for something of value. If someone is offering an hour long audio, a how-to video, an ebook, or something worthwhile, I'm ok with it.

What bugs me, are people that use squeeze pages, for a sales letter. Gee, how convenient. I have to give personal info, just to get sold to.

If you're sick and tired of it, like I am, here are two tips, to help you bypass those pesky squeeze pages.

The first trick I wrote about once before. It's a service called 10 Minute Mail. You get a disposable email addy that self destructs in 10 minutes.

10 Minute Email ==> http://www.10minutemail.com

The second is a little more involved, but you can do it right from your browser.

In Firefox choose Page Info from under the Tools menu. (View menu in SeaMonkey.) Then click on the Forms tab. Look for the Field Name called redirect. Enter this url into your browser to bypass the squeeze.

So if you'd rather go straight to the sales letter and not be squeezed, try looking for the redirect page. It doesn't always work but it's worth checking. If it's not there, no worries. The 10 minute email works every time.

Then, if it turns out to be something of value, and you want to receive further "communications" from this person, go ahead and resubscribe with your real address.
