Back on July 7, 2011 I had broke the news that Google Inc. registered the domain name EmailIntervention.com and a couple other similar domain names like:
- EmailIntervention.net
- EmailIntervention.org
- GmailIntervention.com
- GmailIntervention.net
- GmailIntervention.org
Well, the Gmail team have officially launched a site on the domain name EmailIntervention.com. The site is really like a comedy type site and is simply trying to get that "one person" that has yet to change to the Google email service Gmail.
The video on the site has that comedy feel to it. EmailIntervention.com
Gmail officially launched the site on July 27, 2011 (today) by posting an official post on its Gmail Blog.
Interesting Fact: EmailIntervention.com was hand registered on July 7, 2011. Google officially launched the site on July 27, 2011 (today). As of today, July 27, 2011…. EmailIntervention.com ranks #3 on Google for the matching search term email intervention.
Simply amazing out of over 33.1 Million results on the first day of launching the site! They must have insider info or something.

Haha, who knows *how* they got the results up there quickly.

Maybe they made an SEO intervention

Does anyone remember when Gmail was in beta and you had to get an invitation to join? Does anybody remember when it was word-of-mouth, and how quickly it caught on? Hmm…kind of makes a person wonder why Google now has to resort to in-your-face tactics now (bye bye, simple, clean Gmail homepage – now it’s got a huge “Join me!” type ad) when they were doing so well on design alone.

Exactly! the scam coming from:
http://www.emailintervention.com/?utm_source=en-et-na-us&utm_medium=log-in-page&utm_campaign=en
will prompt me to cancel my gmail, and will advice my friends to do so!! These “google” spamers sent unsolicited emails on my name by stealing addresses from my contact list. What a shame for Google !
