This just in… Safelist marketing DOES NOT WORK!
Ok, now that i’ve gotten my April Fools joke out of the way… Happy April!
It seems that there is not much news to talk about in the world of safelist marketing this month. Well, that’s not entirely true. Global Safelist just hit 10,000 members. That’s a pretty big milestone in anybody’s book. Congratulations Doug!
List Building Maximizer just announced that they are giving away $1,000 in their referral contest which is running through May 31. I’m pretty sure they are still giving away $1.00 per referral as well. I can’t find any info about that on the site but I do keep finding random $1.00 payments in my account so it must be true.
Ok, That’s it for the news… let get to the stats! These stats come from advertising my video splash page for Safelist Marketing Tactics.

“Clicks” is how many people viewed my splash page. “Action” is how many people clicked the link on my splash page to go to the main site. “Sales” is how many people joined my site. CTA and CTS are “clicks to action” and “clicks to sale”. I ranked these safelists by sales but it is also important to look at the other numbers to determine how responsive each safelist really is.
Once again List Effects is killing it! I just wish understood why. The site is brand new and to be honest it’s not very pretty but somehow it is managing to blow away all of the competition. I guess I gotta give props to Frank Salinas & Jon Atwood for releasing one very responsive site.
List Building Maximizer also continues to impress me. For just being a regular credit based safelist it has managed to hang with the big viral list building two months in a row. Same goes for Elite Safelist which seems to get better and better every month.
It’s great to see List Auction and List Joe back on top again. I was getting a little worried last month when they started to slip in the rankings. Both of these sites have been consistent performers for me and I would have hated to lose them.
I guess that’s gonna do it for this month.
Of course I always need to point out these are my own personal stats and depending on what you are promoting your results may vary. I provide this information as a guide for trying out new safelists that you might not already be a member of. It is important that you track your ads to find out which safelists work best for you. You can get a free link tracker from TEToolbox.
