Hi, what do you think of safe swaps. I noticed that you can buy cheaper solos compare to the warrior fórum but..... are they good ads? Have you ever purchased over there?


Thanks =)

    read everyones reviews and don't buy anyone that even has one bad review.

    I have made lots of sales from safe-swaps traffic and lots of opt ins that open and click.

    It depends a lot on your swipe and funnel also.

    go for sellers that have lots of U.S. subscribers and includes buyers. ask them where there traffic comes from and ask them if your offer would be good for their list.

      I've personally spent over $5,000 on testing solo ads on Safe-Swaps.com and I didn't get one sale.

      I sell a high ticket product and out of that $5,000 built a list of around 4,000 people. Not one sale. The people you get on your lists from that place are just freebie seekers.

      My advice is to not waste your money. Put your money into FaceBook ads or PPC with Yahoo/BING.

      Overall I've not found success buying solo ads and I now keep well away from them because like I said its just a lot of freebie seekers and who wants to pay to hold 100,000+ of them in your auto responder? Not me.

      Pay for REAL traffic. You might pay more per lead but that lead will be a GOOD QUALITY lead.

      And just in case anyone asks. Yes the offer I sent out when doing the solo ads does convert with all other traffic. So it was just the low quality traffic you get from safe-swaps that was the problem.

      I think its a big scam. Your just paying for worthless clicks. Obviously them people who sell the solo ads can sleep at night because they cover there own back by saying we can not guarantee your success with our solo ads. Its up to you to make sure you convert the traffic.

      But actually I don't know how they sleep at night because they know fine well there list is rubbish and you will not see any results. Think about it if the list they had seen real results for them would they really sell you a solo ad?

      NO they would not. Very unlikely anyway unless they liked you and wanted to do you favour. No the simply fact is them more solo ad providers can only make money selling clicks. The only income they make from there list os from selling solo ads.

      Will you make a few sales every now and again? Yes sometimes but 99% of the traffic is low quality.

      You now have the TRUTH. Stay away from solo ads. Buy real traffic.

      To Success

        Lee,

        You hit the nail right on the head. You are totally RIGHT.

        When building a list from solo ads, I never had success too. The quality is not good because these leads are being bombarded with other emails from other people who bought the same solo ads.

        But when you use PPC ads on Google/Yahoo/Bing, you will see sales and results.

    I did not enjoy Safe-Swaps.com either. But it may work for some people. Solo ads are of varying quality. I wouldn't totally discount them as a good traffic source but you need to research them well, before purchasing. Look for established, credible sellers who have solid testimonials from IM marketers with strong integrity. Quality is key; my opinion.

      Not really because even the people with good reviews had poor traffic. Remember I tested $5,000 worth of traffic.

      Take my advise and stay away from solo ads. No one will really sell you quality traffic. You will get a little yes but most of it is low quality traffic and its not worth your money.

      Like I said put that solo ad money into PPC or PPV traffic. Or buy leads from CPA networks.

      Good luck

    Hi,

    Remember that it isn't about trying to keep your click costs down.

    It's about finding QUALITY TRAFFIC.

    Combine that with a "Well oiled" converting funnel and you have a profitable
    campaign on your hands.

    Deep down we all already know this of course.

    But many get caught up in the excitement of building their lists and are
    so focused on promoting their offers they miss these 2 important elements
    out of their business.

    A platform like that can only provide high quality clicks if the people using it and selling the clicks get a lot of subscribers from other sources, and i doubt that is the case...

    Hi!

    Cheap usually means more quality, and paying more is no value of good quality but on the whole, you get what you pay for. I'd integrate free marketing into the mix to establish your authority and gain trust. But that's just me talking

    All the best!

    I have used safe-swaps and I am completely satisfied with it. When I bought my first solo in safe-swaps, my seller has delivered suspicious clicks and get banned from safe-swaps. At least their clicks are not fraud at all.

    The problem is two fold

    1) recycled traffic - they have probably been bombarded with similar offers before by others so may not prove to be converting traffic

    2) Freebie seekers - If they are looking for freebies then they are unlikely to spend so therefore the chances of you making a commision are likely none

    Better off researching for solid, dependable solo ad sellers with proven track record of delivering solid clicks that convert

    Also think about Facebook ppc and bing which is easier to get into than adwords

    I actually like Safe swaps and have added some very good leads and made lots of sales doing ad swaps.

    That being said, I have bought around 50 solos from sellers on Safe Swaps and not once did I get a good ROI. I didn't cover the cost of my solo purchase on one of them and I have a very low cost OTO after opt-in ($7.95). If the leads coming from solos over there are not willing to pay $7.95 for a very nice product that makes me wonder how good they are.

    As far as opt-in rates on the solos, I've had anywhere from 2% to 40%. Again, even a 40% conversion rate is nothing to jump up and down about if the leads are basically freebie seekers.

    One thing that I have discovered upon talking with many sellers over there that most of them use what they call a "solo list" to send your solo ad to. In other words, their good leads and buyers will never see your ad. They keep those leads separate from their solo list leads. Their "solo list" has been built solely from swaps and other cheap forms of traffic.

    You have to wonder when you see a bunch of sellers selling their clicks for .20 and .25 each. I have several great sellers I work with outside of Safe Swaps and it's not uncommon for them to charge anywhere from .50 to $1 per click for a solo that includes buyers. I have no problem paying those prices because in just about every case I know I will make sales and get good leads.

    My advice as far as Safe Swaps is concerned is go ahead and use it to set up some swaps. You can get some good leads out of those. Stay away from the solos unless you like freebie seekers on your list.

    They have new system, which filters all fake and useless traffic. With that filter their sellers can cheat and they provide only top quality traffic.

    The problem with solo ads is finding trustworthy sellers.

    You might be better of on the WF then on safe swaps, but I doubt it.

    The only solution is testing different vendors as well as traffic sources (e.g. PPC)

    Yes, there is no way to know the quality of the Solo Ads in Safe Swaps. You need to try in small quantity to test it. Continue to buy back from the same seller if the result looked good for you, but not too fast, at least 2-3 weeks gap.

    I've spent thousands on safe-swaps and I'm nearly a THREE TIME hall of fame member over there.

    Here's the secret: You have to test your *own* statistics.

    Your own statistics will ALWAYS be superior to everything.

    Period.

    So, if you want to buy solos ANYWHERE, the only thing you can count on is your own statistics.

    Might not make sense to you right now. But after you've been in the game... You'll remember what I said.



    Good luck man.

    And yeah, safe-swaps is legit... (If you know your statistics)..

    Hehe...
