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.

- Hi Ladies- I wanted to add my 2 cents - I am a member (paid and free) of every safelist that I can find and even though I agree with Marianne that email marketing is still alive, and a catchy title still works, all I have achieved is a LOT of tire-kickers and only 1 sale for ANY of the programs that I have advertised using safelist and traffic exchanges. It's incredibly frustrating.

I, myself, own 3 ad exchanges and I fully believe they are awesome for getting your promotions out. If the sites are used in the right way you can get many signups for your programs. I think variety is the spice of life so different advertising venues are also good.
Viral lists are also a great way to go because everyone that signs up after you is added to your email list. Viral_list is the best one I've found so far. http://www.viral-list.com/link/858

Comment by Marianne on June 29, 2009 at 7:03am - Laila I thank you for your interesting comment but I beg to differ - email marketing is still alive - even the big gurus still use it to get their message out. I guess everyone does their marketing in different ways which is why the internet is so interesting - there is a place for everyone !!

Hi Marianne,
I've never used safelists and rarely expect results from email solicitation. Most of the time, people ask ME for information, and I give it to them, but I don't just send out emails.
The "catchy title" thing only goes so far, in my opinion. If the majority of the people on the list are there to "sell" their own product, service or scam, then it does not matter one bit as to what your subject line says - no one is listening because they are all busy shouting.
My blog post today was on a similar subject and I would love to hear what you have to say, and see the link to YOUR most popular blog post. Just click here to leave a comment.
