Best Places to Advertise – August Stats

What the?! Is it really September already?

I guess that means it’s time to dig out the stats and see what happened last month. Looking at the numbers… apparently not a whole lot. Commissions were still good but I only personally referred 192 people to my Safelist Marketing Tactics website as opposed to 378 in July. I suppose it could have something to do with the mythical “summer slowdown” but I suspect it probably had more to do with me spending more time in front of the Playstation instead of on my computer generating traffic.

I think I spent only a few hours total surfing the traffic exchanges last month. As a result I only received 4 sign-ups from them. Not even worth mentioning where those sign-ups came from.

Text Ad Exchanges were about the same. 10 sign-ups all together spread out over about a dozen exchanges. The only one worth mentioning again is Muscle Mail with 4 sign-ups.

It’s not surprising that the majority of my sign-ups last month came from safelists. Of course it helps that I am promoting a product that directly targets safelist users. Let’s see how we did.

Safelists

ViralAdStore – Hits: 1,291 Clicks: 89 Sign-ups: 29
List Joe – Hits: 2,752 Clicks: 205 Sign-ups: 19
Global Safelist – Hits: 2,129 Clicks: 76 Sign-ups: 15
List Auction – Hits: 1,045 Clicks: 55 Sign-ups: 10
AdSolutionline – Hits: 1,967 Clicks: 58 Sign-ups: 7

The big news here… ViralAdStore rocks! I think this is the first month something has outperformed List Joe which is impressive since ViralAdStore didn’t launch until the second week of July.

I decided to purchase an upgraded membership at Global Safelist last month. I bought a 3-month upgrade and so far it has already paid for itself. Well worth the 15 bucks.

Ok, that’s all for now. Hopefully I will be a little more productive this month and get some more updates for you along with a brand new website at the end of the month (knock on wood).
