Advertising thru Safelists and Traffic Exchanges – does it work ???
SAFELISTS
Free Safelists and Paid Safelists are becoming a very popular way of advertising websites and programs via e-mail. Safelists are lists which contain email addresses of individuals which have agreed to receive email from the other members of the safelist. Some safelists contain thousands of members. So, whether you join a free safelist, or a paid safelist, you too can email those members of the list about your website or offer.
Some safelists allow you to join free - but with limitations. Such as - if you join free, you might only be allowed to email a certain number of members only once a week. However, paid members are allowed to post every day or every other day.
A very important factor when using a safelist is to have your email opened. A catching subject line will do the trick. Look at all the emails you receive – study the subject lines and you can learn what it takes for an email to be opened.
Another important factor is not to use your primary email address when joining a safelist. You are bound to receive quite a number of emails from the other members of the list – so the best way is to set up an email address especially for that list. Gmail lets you open several email accounts for free.
• One of the best lists that I am a member of is ViralURL. I find this to be the MOST responsive list of all. I do not know if as a free member one can email other lists members – but as a paid member I can email 3,000 random members every 3 days – which adds up to 30,000 a month. The OTO for the Gold membership is very affordable and believe me well worth it !!
You can check ViralURL here.
• Also a NEW list builder has just been launched – this is Viral-List.COM. For a ridiculously low one-time fee – EACH person who signs up after you will be on your list. Also if you decide to refer other people you will be paid $3 or $5 for every member in your downline – 7 levels deep. An excellent way to build up your list and getting paid at the same time !!

TRAFFIC EXCHANGE and SURF SITES
A traffic exchange and surf website receives website submissions from webmasters that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the website then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved.
Exchanges enforce a certain credit ratio, which illustrates the amount of websites the surfer must view in order to receive one hit through the program for their promoted website. Many sites offer the ability to upgrade one's membership level for a more equal credit ratio.
As the viewers are all website owners or affiliates, it is possible that some might find certain member sites interesting and thus make note of them on their own sites, sending more traffic their way. Most traffic programs also impose a time limit when members are browsing, ranging from 10 seconds to 60 seconds.
Some traffic exchange sites also offer payments for viewing the minimum number of websites imposed by the particular site. This in itself promotes a win win situation – getting paid and getting ‘eyeballs’ on your own websites and banners.
• One such traffic exchange website is Ad Ventures 4 U – when one joins and upgrades (minimum $10) – the upgraded member gets paid 14% of their upgrade (Ventures) every week – for surfing 26 websites (10 minutes) every day. A member can advertise both websites and banners on the site itself (included in the price of the upgrade). Ad Venures 4U is a very safe site situated in Panama !! And a 14% payout weekly is NOTHING to sneeze at !! Ad Ventures 4 U has been around for a long time and it pays revenue from earnings - so we will continue to see it around - do not worry !!

I hope that you have found the above information useful for your website and banner advertising. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

PS On a very different note – a new search engine TAZOODLE will be launched in the coming months. This search engine will PAY members who are active thru searches. Membership is FREE and signing up has already started.
There are also excellent pre-launch only packages for Advertisers.
It is very wise to join Tazoodle now - both as a member and also as an advertiser. Should you wish to sign up it is free to do so here:

- Safelists are great for the owners of the safelists. Noone really listens to each other, but I did figure out to get others to listen to you on them. Email me sometime and I will tell you how. You can also check out this new video I just made for my clients here at http://www.gettricks.com

Comment by Sandy Falagan on June 29, 2009 at 2:17pm - Marianne, I am a free member of ViralURL, but I haven't used it yet. I have been a member of Traffic Pod and TS125, and I set them up to surf both in one session and barely pay attention to the websites. I have not had a sign up from either of them, and it eats up time. Since other methods work better for my business which I am paying for, I don't really want to invest any more money for traffic exchanges or safe lists. Good post. Thank you.

ÎN LINIŞTEA SOMNULUI…
Ţi-arunci capul pe pernă,
duios să-l culci,
alături de mine,
privind la televizor;
eu, cel pierdut
în ritmul visărilor dulci
accept şi respiraţiile
să mi le aduci.
În liniştea somnului
ce vine dinspre nuci,
s-a dilatat şi aerul
de aşteptare, de dor;
îţi tragi şi trupul,
cu mine să te culci
şi-mi regăsesc iubirea
în ochii tăi adânci.

I have tried all types of advertising from yellow pages ads to yahoo groups. Of all my paid advertising and free advertising (like myspace), the one that has done me the most good when it comes to actual paying clients, are ning networks.
On occasion, I will get someone asking me to remove them from my share list (email), but for the most part, people see my profile, ask me to 'friend' and follow my work to my website.

I know from expeience that their are some results from safelists but they are becoming less usful as their are most people opening a junk mail that they never log into (like me) you get so much mail from them that after a while people stop reading emails for credit as it becomes a full time job. I believe as we have got more and more sfelists and traffic exchanges the response is next to nothing. I used safelists and traffic exchanges when I was new but find them to no longer have any kind of success!
You will have way more better response building your own list as that is the best way anyway!

Yes your information was good. I have just begun exploring such avenues, but I get confused easily as I have joined some sites that have some hoops to jump through with adding htmls' and such that I am never sure I do right & have added some ads for other sites onto my own but dont even know if they are doing the same or if or when I'd get paid or how I would even know.
Once its understood how, then it gets easier,but for now I am still trying to understand more about this stuff. I do want more viewers & put up a hitcounter that shows I have had over 3500 visits in the last 3-4 weeks but I have had only one sale indirectly from the site, so it seems I am spending 20+ hours a day now online, with twitter, facebook,myspace, blogs, website visiting and so on but wonder when the money will start - I have art prints and cards to sell but somehow am not reaching those who want to buy anything. It gets exhausting trying to absorb all this how to marketing stuff.Most seem to want to get me to join their businesses rather than being able to sell my own products. I was told that I have 'presense' on the internet in all the search engines but I dont want to clog my site up with endless ads for other companies either, so I am still not sure what to do. http://AveHurleyIllustrations.ning.com so for now I started a contest where I will give away 5 x $25 valued prizes in Art Prints, just for comments left on any album on my site~ I have over 128 members displaying their art in over 70 albums so I was told I was giving away too many prizes for to small a contest~ but still I see less than 100 comments made to date and the contest ends on 7/15 which I guess means chances of winning a prize are 1:20 with a total prize of $125 in products so I dont know if this is good advertising method or not as it hasnt yielded any additional sales inquiries, but traffic is up so maybe it just needs more time? I dont know~:) Ave
