Dear Warriors

I notice there are a lot of safelist sites. Is it worth the effort to register an account and earn credits so that I can post ads from it? Can this be a good way to get traffic to my website. :confused:

Thanks.

Hi,

There are strategies to build a list using safelists, which is probably the worst way to do it. For traffic to your site, they are also very ineffective and the quality of any traffic that you get is poor at best.

Spend your time learning and implementing more effective strategies.

  Hi Warriors
  
  Is it really that bad? I don't mean to be rude, may I ask, is it out of experience that you all find it to be so poor a strategy to adopt for directing traffic?
  
  Thanks

  Most people say that safelists are bad because "they're not targeted".
  
  Those who think it through a little more, and appreciate that some people make steady four/five-figure monthly incomes from safelist traffic (and I'm not talking about their owners!), appreciate that they're actually highly targeted, and the target group is "traffic-seekers"/"list-builders".
  
  So, if you're promoting something designed and aimed specifically and only at traffic-seekers and list-builders, and if you start by building an incentivized list rather than trying to sell anything, it can be good traffic for you. Otherwise, forget it, because what you're promoting isn't targeted at that traffic.

Listen to Alexa & Gary.

If you have an offer that stands out to safelist users then it can and will make you money.

Personally I've added thousands to my lists using this traffic source, spend the time learning how to use it properly rather than listening to the people who failed as they were advertising the wrong sort of things.

  So if you are an affiliate marketer and you want to use safelists, build a list teaching people to get traffic and sell affilliate or plr (with your affiliate links inside) traffic products. Just thought I'd sum it up for ya.

  You can use whatever name you want, but if you want to achieve success I would strongly recommend personal branding and creating your own pages than just sending traffic to affiliate links.
  
  Thanks
