    Double opt in managed mailing list systems that allow list members to broadcast messages usually based on some merit system like clicking urls sent in others' messages.

    Do these work? I mean I've signed up to them, but I always just use a fake e-mail and don't look at the e-mails so I just assume others do the same. I've never gotten very good results. Has anybody else?

      1) I don't like safelists but in the same time I don't like statements such as "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, etc."

      2) Since many people use them we should assume that at a certain level they work, shouldn't we? Most of the things that don't work actually work if you know how

      3) Look for credit based safelists. If someone doesn't click on the links from the emails, then that person doesn't get any credit and cannot send her/his own ads unless she/he pays.

      4) Read this article: Safelists & Traffic Exchanges: Stop Wasting Your Time Or ...

          Well, thank you, what can I say? The sole problem is that the rest of your post seems to prove exactly what I said ("at a certain level they work").

          1) Right and you see loads of people saying that article marketing doesn't work, ezine advertising doesn't work, etc. :rolleyes: It's easy to blame the tool when you don't know to use it ...

          2) While I don't use safelists because I don't like them, many people say they work. For example Fabian Tan just said it a few hours ago in another thread. I don't have any reason not to believe that safelists work for him and many others

          Maybe this is again "superficially logical", but ... sorry, that's all I can do for the moment
