Splash Archives - Get Rich With Jerry

Hello and welcome to my latest posting where I attempt to rank the top safelists and viral listbuilders based on my own stats from the previous month.

Before getting into the rankings I like to go over some of the major events in the safelist world which happened during the last month. Unfortunately, there aren’t any. No major launches to speak of. No big changes. ViralAdStore changed their graphics to make them a little brighter but that’s about it.

I did cut back a little bit last month from some of the smaller exchanges that haven’t been producing well enough for me. I also either canceled my upgraded memberships or downgraded to a less expensive membership on some of the safelists that weren’t bringing me enough sign-ups to justify the price of an upgrade. I usually estimate that each sign-up I get to my list is worth about $1.00 so if I am spending $20/month on an upgrade and only getting 4 or 5 sign-ups, it’s probably not worth it.

One thing I started doing last month that I hadn’t been doing much before is taking advantage of safelists that allow you to send more than 1 ad per day. This usually requires being an upgraded member and spending more time clicking for credits but it has allowed me to diversify a bit and send out a wider variety of ads. So far the two best I have found for sending multiple ads are Elite Safelist and European Safelist. Both of these sites are well worth the price for the upgrade.

I also tried out a few newer safelists that launched over the last few months. The results were poor at best. Maybe I will try them again in a few months if they are able to attract a few new members. For now it’s better to stick with the safelists that have been around for awhile and are proven to work.

Ok, stats time! All of these numbers are a result of advertising my video splash page for Safelist Marketing Tactics.

	Total Clicks	Unique Clicks	Action	Sales	CTA	CTS
List Effects	1,501	921	55	22	5.97%	2.39%
ViralAdStore	2,240	1,141	64	21	5.61%	1.84%
List Auction	2,021	995	67	13	6.73%	1.31%
ListBuildingMaximizer	1,448	703	36	13	5.26%	1.85%
List Joe	1,848	1,298	59	12	4.55%	0.92%
Adsolutionline	2,719	931	49	7	5.26%	0.75%
Elite Safelist	2,018	818	64	6	7.82%	0.73%
Global Safelist	1,123	524	37	6	7.06%	1.15%

“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.

As we can see List Effects continues to stay on top however it’s not dominating quite as much as it had been over the last few months. It will be interesting to see if it can continue to stay on top next month.

ViralAdStore has climbed back to the top of the list after having dropped quite a few places over the last few months. Maybe those new graphics are working for them after all.

No other real big surprises but it is nice to see Adsolutionline and Global Safelist back on the list again.

Once again I want to remind everyone that these are my own personal stats from promoting my own personal splash pages. These stats are only meant to be a guide to help you choose which safelists and viral listbuilders to use. Your results will probably be different from my own but the only way to know for sure which sites work best for you is to track your own results. You can get a free link tracker from TEToolbox.

The Best Safelists for April 2010

November 24, 2010April 1, 2010 by Jerry Iannucci

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.

	Total Clicks	Unique Clicks	Action	Sales	CTA	CTS
List Effects	1,742	1,072	117	35	10.91%	3.26%
ListBuildingMaximizer	1,817	843	37	18	4.39%	2.14%
List Auction	1,646	1,028	47	16	4.57%	1.56%
List Joe	1,629	1,147	51	15	4.45%	1.31%
Elite Safelist	1,565	694	24	13	3.46%	1.87%
ViralAdStore	1,654	943	37	10	3.92%	1.06%
Got Safelist	4,041	1,595	44	9	2.76%	0.56%
FreeSafelistMailer	1,333	609	23	6	3.78%	0.99%

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.

The Best Safelists – November Stats

December 1, 2009 by Jerry Iannucci

Hello and welcome to my safelist stats.

Are we really one month away from 2010? I still haven’t figured out what this decade is called. The Oh’s? Oh well.

After the dismal results I had last month I decided to make a new splash page for my Safelist Marketing Tactics site. I went with a “video splash page” because everybody keeps telling me how effective they are. I wasn’t real crazy about the idea of sitting in front of the camera doing a boring pitch so I decided to something a little different. Here’s what I came up with: http://www.safelisttactics.com/splash/index.htm

That’s the general one. I made some specific pages for each of the safelists I use as well as for a few traffic exchanges. They seem to be working great so far.

No big industry news to report, so let’s get on with the stats…

	Total Clicks	Unique Clicks	Action	Sales	CTA	CTS
ViralAdStore	2146	1239	93	28	7.51%	2.26%
List Auction	1412	926	70	24	7.56%	2.59%
List Joe	1815	1294	97	20	7.50%	1.55%
Got Safelist	3351	1525	50	12	3.28%	0.79%
AdSolutionline	2395	1127	73	11	6.48%	0.98%
Elite Safelist	1900	995	67	7	6.73%	0.70%
European SL	765	326	24	5	7.36%	1.53%
AdTactics	484	323	17	2	5.26%	0.62%

“Clicks” is how many people views the splash page. “Action” is how many people click the link on my splash page to go to the main site. “Sales” is how many people joined my site. CTA and CTS are I think “clicks to action” and “clicks to sale” or something like that.

Happy to see a nice jump in my number of sign-ups compared to last month. The rankings are about the same as usual except Got Safelist seems to be working better again. Yay!

As usual the viral list builders dominate the list. Maybe I shoulda wrote a book about them instead. Or maybe I will? Hmm…

Speaking of viral list builders… a new site launched today which automates all of your mailings on the top viral list builder sites. I’ve been playing with it for the last few days and it’s really cool. It will actually login to all of your accounts, tell you how many credits you have left, tell you when your next mailing is, and let you send an email all with one click.

It’s free to join. Check it out here: http://trafficzipper.com/index.php?af=457

That’s all for now. I’ll probably try out a few more viral list builders this month so hopefully I will have some more numbers for you next month. As always, my stats may be different than yours so make sure you are tracking all of your ads so you can know what works best for YOU.

For those of you who are still not tracking your ads (shame on you) I am going to recommend a new tracker for you this month. It’s called TE Toolbox. It was created for the traffic exchange industry but works perfectly fine for safelists, viral list builders, and any other traffic sites you want to use. It’s free to join and it’s got a ton of killer features beyond just a link tracker. Click the image below to join.

Thanks! That is indeed the goal.

Great post. Hoping you will make a site like safelisttactics only focused on traffic exchanges.
