Hey thanks for dropping by!

I have been buying solo ads for a long time and I noticed a trend for the past 3 months or so that suddenly, all the sellers have buyers list included..

I mean, the SAME seller on sep 14 got a buyers list on sep 16..

And now everybody's saying it!

who should I trust lol?

Seriously, the solo ad industry is getting seriously weird...

everybody's a pro and he can deliver you the most targeted clicks and everybody's got a customer list..

Anybody?

    Personally I think that the solo advert niche is about to implode as it makes the banking industry look well regulated.

    Stick with the names you trust, and it's definitely buyer beware at the moment.

    I wouldn't trust most of them as far as I could kick them to be honest. A lot of these sellers are building very large unresponsive freebie seeker lists with very little effort - and then swapping with other marketers who have equally useless lists. What you get is a syndication of so called marketers, all with useless lists and all who make money by lying to their buyers. I mean, who's going to really tell the truth anyway. No one is going to tell you their list is crap.

    If you do your homework and put a lot of effort into finding good providers, then maybe you can get semi quality leads, but either way you have to test test test until you get a winner. I think solo ads are the lazy marketers way of generating leads with no consideration for the long term goal of their business.

    Free WSO's are a much better approach than solo ads, but the quality of the leads (although better IMO) are still not as effective as other paid methods, but cheap.

      Yeah Tom, i reckon the life of these lists are not infinite. I'd say these guys/girls get very good at building these lists after a while, and end up building them quicker than ever just to keep up with the demand. Therefore, it's most likely the case they build an even worse list as a result

    At times like these I am more than happy that I don't put all my eggs in one basket.

    Because I believe I'm gonna give up on a traffic source.

    Yeah Tom, very important to have fresh leads coming into your business from many different sources.
