What? September already?
Somehow we managed to survive the blistering summer heat here in the midwest. If you believe in the summer slow down then now is the time to start promoting again because the busy season is about to begin.
So what’s new in safelists? Not a whole lot.
I did join Quality Safelist which is the new safelist from Michael Coursey that launched about 2 months ago. The results have been decent but i’m not blown away. There’s only about 2,200 members right now though so hopefully it will continue to improve as the membership grows. Mike has been in this business for a long time though so you can bet Quality Safelist will be around for awhile.
I am being told that there is a new viral list builder getting ready to launch tomorrow. I can’t say anything else about it right now. You’ll just have to check back here tomorrow after it launches.
Ok, let’s get to the stats!
These stats were obtained by promoting my rotating splash pages for Safelist Marketing Tactics on all of the top credit safelists and viral list builders. I had been promoting the same two splash pages for awhile but I just added a 3rd new splash page about a week ago. I’m not sure if the new page is converting as well as the others but overall the results this month have been pretty good.

“Clicks” is how many people viewed my splash page. “Action” is how many people clicked the link on my splash page to go to the main site. “Sales” is how many people joined my site. CTA and CTS are “clicks to action” and “clicks to sale”. I ranked these safelists by sales but it is also important to look at the other numbers to determine how responsive each safelist really is.
Looking at the stats.. List Joe is back on top! Even though State of the Art Mailing System brought me a lot more traffic I think List Joe got a nice little bump this month because they have been offering random credit multipliers for every email read. I’ve been earning as much as 50 credits per email which is pretty nuts but worth taking advantage of while it lasts.
As you can see Quality Safelist just managed to creep it’s way onto the list. While it didn’t generate a lot of new sign-ups from me you can see by the numbers that even though the membership base at Quality Safelist is still relatively low they are definitely some active members there.
That’s about it for this update. Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for the new viral list builder that is getting ready to launch!
And of course, don’t forget that the stats above are my only personal stats. Your results may vary. The important thing to remember is that you will never know how good your ads or advertising sources are unless you track your ads! You can get your own free link tracker from from TE Toolbox.
