Market with Safelists: do not use spam guards

When marketing with safe lists, you need two marketing email addresses - one for your list email and a second for your contact email. Never use your actual personal email, private or business support email as your contact address for safe lists. Also, never put an email blocker or so called spam guard on your contact email either.

The quickest way to have your account deleted at a list and your ip and email banned is by using spam guards or auto responders.

You joined a safe list. When you did, you expect to send your emails to the members. Everyone else joined with the same expectations. Some lists offer paid upgraded memberships in which you pay for the privilege of sending YOUR email ads to the members without receiving any in return. As the majority of people use safe lists as free members, they are expected to receive emails from members in return for use of the list. This is what makes it all work.

Safelist owners and admins do use your contact email to ‘contact you’, yes. They also use contact email addresses for solo ads and to send their own commercial email. There are many reasons for this starting with:

1. Safelists are not free. You, as a member, may have a free membership, but the list itself is not free. It costs the owner/admin money every month to run and host it. Depending on the circumstance, the owner may have purchased the script initially (which does not come cheap) and must find ways to recoup that investment. Whether they purchased that script or not, they still have the monthly hosting fees and cost of advertising.

2. Safelists are a business. Most people start them in order to make money. Free memberships build the list but do not help pay the bills or make the owner any money.

So, in order for the owner/admin to make the business flourish and hopefully realize a profit somewhere in all this, they sell upgraded memberships, banner ads and solo ads. They also market and promote their businesses or affiliate links and links to other goods/services and products. And they do this via the contact email.

Spam guards and protectors and very useful tools and need to be imployed - but under the correct circumstances and on your correct email accounts. Use them for your personal accounts for sure. It is inappropriate to use them on either your contact or list email accounts you provide to the safe lists.

To surf, or not to surf

I recently read an ad in total bemusement. It was titled “The problem with Traffic Exchanges”. The main complaint was that exchanges expected members to log in and surf once every 30 days and that people with lives couldn’t be expected to do this. Interestingly, he was promoting a surf site in which to get the measly little credits they were giving out free, you had a minimum surf!

Then, to get any more credits you had to - guess what? SURF. No surf, no show. Then, guess what? If you did nothing for 90 days - you are deleted! Lol.

Traffic exchanges are interesting and vital in many ways and important to have in your portfolio. As sites rotate they generate hits and hits translate into activity which the search engines and reporting agencies like Alexa pick up on. Plus, members surf and view your sites. Studies show that people need to see an ad (or site) multiple times before taking action. So, TE’s are good for all this.

Having said this, let me also say that when members (like the misguided one above) do nothing - nothing happens in return. Members do not surf - sites are not rotated. Plain and simple. Sites do not rotate - nothing happens. No activity to your sites, no sites being seen, no sign ups, no sales.

Nada happens when YOU decide to do nothing.

When members decide to do nothing, of course the program owner must assume there is no interest or that the person has left the building. When weighed against members who DO surf, of course the priority is to have that persons site shown. Why show a non-active members sites? Those members are actually leeches: expecting lots of blood to feed on but not giving any in return.

Traffic exchanges don’t expect blood or that you give up your life to surf a few sites once in awhile. You get A LOT for being even a free member. Give back something to the exchange in the way of your time surfing to contribute to the overall health of the program. The return is greater than your input. A great big nothing happens when you do nothing. A lot happens when you DO.

Ps…while I checked the site out the member was promoting, I did not join on gp. I figure any so called traffic exchange that merely stored sites without requiring members to surf was a total waste of my time. Kind of like a safe list comprised solely of members not required to accept or read email from the other members. Lol.
