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.

- Thank you so much for the free information you provided. I haven't started building a mail list yet because my site is an affiliate marketing site that offers a variety of junior wear products so I'm not sure what to offer to get people to opt-in. I like the idea of safelist because it is supposed to have interested members. If you have any ideas about how I can improve my site www.discountstoregenie.com please let me know.

Comment by Theresa Johnson on June 29, 2009 at 1:03pm - Safelist and traffic exchanges work. I prefer credit based safelists and revenue sharing traffic exchanges. Adventures4u is considered a revenue sharing traffic exchange and I've been with them since the beginning.

Safelists, free or otherwise, are the most safe means to promote using email without being accused of spamming. While everyone who joins a safelist is usually trying to market something, it is not unusual that they will make purchases themselves from other marketers. however, I would prefer to join safelists where I do not receive messages from other members on the list. This may mean that a paid premium membership to the safelist may be necessary. You are paying so that you do not receive email messages from other members.
As to the effectiveness of safelists, I would say that I have not had many conversions using them. However, new traffic to my offerings has increased dramatically. I am very interested in traffic from first-time visitors as much as I am with conversions. Page ranking from traffic is another important factor in online marketing. Page ranking can attract advertisers and affiliates.
It is true that a catchy subject can pique the interest of other marketers on a safelist. It's happened to me. Yet, I have had sales from other marketer who are looking for a new audience. For example, by banner exchange website received traffic from a safelist and a marketer purchased a membership into another safelist.
In conclusion, I would state that safelists are effective for the reasons stated herein.

Comment by Dr Shaun Hutchinson on June 29, 2009 at 12:58pm - Yes they both work if you know how to use them effectively. Especially traffic exchanges. It is vital that your page doesn't take too long to open when using a TE, remember you only have 20 seconds to grab the surfers attention in a traffic exchange. If your site takes longer than that to load then DO NOT put it into a TE, rather use a simple, fast load splash page that will direct the surfer to your website.

With all the junk email people get, I wouldn't bother about safelists. Traffic exchanges - only with trusted partners where we are doing mutual/cross promotion.
Just my opinion.

Comment by Dexter on June 29, 2009 at 12:51pm - In my opinion there is only one GOOD way to use Safelists and Traffic Exchanges and that is paid advertising of your business. To spend your valueable time trading it for some traffic is a waste a time.
