Spam composes roughly 84% of all emai sent every day, but has been dropping some since the 2010 conviction of some BotNet creators.
A BotNet is a collection of computers that have been compromised to send out spam without the computer's owner knowing about it. This makes the cost of ownership and bandwidth practically non-existant for BotNet creators. Just one computer, such as a laptop at a coffee shop, is needed to send out an update to millions of these 'Zombie' machines.
It seems that one person in 12.5 Million, actually replies and purchases a product through spam. That one person makes up a 'Net Gain' for the spam sending BotNet and the companies that pay the spammers to send out their message.
A large chunk of Spam is actually based in crime. The products are fake but the form to send in your credit card information is not.
