The "spray and pray" technique

It's a term I've heard used to describe putting a simple message out there widely, and seeing what sticks.

I had a friend at university who would go to a club, then start wandering around asking the women "wanna fuck?". Most would turn away or tip a drink over him, but invariably one would say yes and they'd leave together.

I believe a certain portion of the population use that technique on dating sites too - just send a message to 100 women, and all you need is one to say yes and you've achieved your goal.

But the point of this wasn't sex or dating sites - it was the "viagra" posts that show up here occasionally. Could be total scam sites of course, or could be legit sites trying to drum up business - but I wonder how successful it is? If you get your message in front of 10,000 viewers and only 0.1% click, that's 10 sales you didn't have before.

But is it 0.1%? How many click the link I wonder. I expect that *some* must do it, or they wouldn't keep making the effort to create the posts. If you try something and it never works, then at some point you'd give up.

So which one of you clicked it?
