Best Places to Advertise

Hello again!

As we close in on the end of another year it’s time once again to dig out some stats and see which safelists and viral list builders are bringing in the best results today.

Before we get to the stats, here’s what’s going on in the world of safelists and viral list builders…

In October John Bell released his take on a modern VLB with Viral List Builder Plus.  I didn’t have enough data to share my stats from this site last month but this month I do.  As you can see from the stats below it looks as though John has another winner on his hands.

The Lead Magnet is celebrating it’s one year anniversary.  At the time The Lead Magnet was launched there was a whole slew of other VLBs being launched.  Some lasted while others did not.  Stefan Berg has proven that he has what it takes to manage a successful mailer and the fact that it is at the top of my list of top performing sites every month should be reason enough to join if you haven’t already.

State of the Art Mailer is in the process of rolling out a new feature called the “Downline Builder Surfing Bonus”.  What this does is allow members to have free and even paid members placed into their downline by simply doing what they are already doing… namely clicking their emails.  They are working on a few more social media aspects to the feature which should be complete sometime next week.  I am really looking forward to see how well this works.

The members area inside Viral URL just got a facelift.  Welcome to the 21st century!

Anybody got a referral link for Email Hog and List Outbreak?  I am looking forward to giving these a try.

Ok, time for the stats!

I like to preface these with a little disclaimer so you know how these stats were obtained.  Every day (or as often as I am allowed) I send out ads to 30+ safelists and viral list builders promoting squeeze pages for my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics.  I keep track of how many times my webpage is viewed from each mailer along with the number of new subscribers I received.  I spend about an hour each day clicking emails for credits.  I also have upgraded memberships in most of these mailers which often allow me to reach more members more often.  These are my own personal stats and are only intended to let you see what is working best for me.  Your results may vary.

Quite a bit of action last month.  For the vast majority of the month List Joe was at the top with a very large lead.  During the final week it dropped down to number 3 behind The Lead Magnet and Viral List Builder Plus.  Then within an hour of doing my final mailings for the month Adchiever brought me 3 new subscribers bringing it into the top position.

I’d like to welcome Viral List Builder Plus to the list.  I’ve been very happy to see what John Bell has brought to the community and it’s great to see his new mailer performing so well.  If you are not already a member this is definitely the best new site to come along in awhile and is well worth your time to join.

That’s all for this month.  Hopefully I will have a few new sites to review for next month.  Until then make sure you keep tracking your results because if you don’t you will never know which sites are working for you and which ones are not. You can get the same link tracker that I use for free when you join TE Toolbox.

October!

Not too much news to report.  Other than the launch of Totally Tweetable about a month ago I haven’t spotted any other new safelists or mailers worth mentioning.  Have I missed anything?

So let’s just get to the stats!

Every day I submit a series of lead capture pages to dozens of safelists and viral list builders giving away free copies of my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics. I use link trackers to determine how much traffic my mailings generate as well as how many new subscribers I receive.  I then compile all of the data and share the results here on my blog each month to show you which safelists and viral list builders are bringing me the best results.

Keep in mind that these stats are the result of my own personal efforts.  I have upgraded memberships in most of the sites below and spend time every day earning credits to make sure my ads are seen as often as possible.  Your results may vary.

Total September sign-ups from all mailers (including those not listed here): 166

I’m sure Stefan Berg will be happy to see that The Lead Magnet is on top again.  Hi Stefan!

I also want to recommend List Adventure to anyone who isn’t already a member.  This mailer almost got lost in the shuffle a few months ago when new viral list builders were launching all over the place.  List Adventure is right up there this month with heavy hitters like SOTAM and List Bonus.  What’s amazing to me is that as an upgraded member at List Adventure I don’t think I have ever had to worry about earning credits to send my ads to the entire list every 3 days.

That’s it for this month.

Don’t forget that these stats are the results of my own marketing efforts.  You results may differ from mine but you will never know unless you are tracking your ads!  You can get the same link tracker that I am using for free when you join TE Toolbox.
