Hoopla Launches New List Ranking Service

Traffic Hoopla has been one of the largest and more successful ranking services and downline builders for the traffic exchange and safelist industry since 2002. That's a really long time!

I just got a chance to check out their latest creation called List Hoopla which is dedicated entirely to safelists and viral list builders.

You can check it out here:

The Best Safelists for December 2011

Hello again!

As we close in on the end of another year it's time once again to dig out some stats and see which safelists and viral list builders are bringing in the best results today.

Before we get to the stats, here's what's going on in the world of safelists and viral list builders...

In October John Bell released his take on a modern VLB with Viral List Builder Plus. I didn't have enough data to share my stats from this site last month but this month I do. As you can see from t

Hello and welcome to November!

It's a new month and that means it's time to dig out my safelist and viral list builder advertising stats from last months and share with you what sites are currently bringing me the best results.

But first... the news!

The biggest launch from last month was the new release of a unique viral list builder from my good friend John Bell. It's called Viral List Builder Plus. I don't have any stats to share yet but so far I am really enjoying this site. O

Viral List Builder Plus Launches Today

Happy Monday!

It's been awhile since there have been any new launches that have been worth mentioning but today I finally have a good one for you. It's a new viral list builder from my good friend John Bell. It's called "Viral List Builder Plus".

I've know John Bell for a little over a year now from working with him in the traffic exchange industry. John is what I like to call a "triple threat". He's great at design, programming, and marketing. Not too many people can do all th

Halloween Giveaway is Seeking Contributors

Hooray!

It's that time of the year again.

You probably already know this but I am kind of a big nerd when it comes to using giveaway events to build my list.

Heck, I wrote a book about it!

But there is one guy who hosts THE BEST giveaway events on the planet. Yes, I am talking about Guido Nussbaum.

Guido's giveaway events probably produce more sign-ups for me than all the other events combined for the entire year... and it's almost time for one of his biggest giveaways ever.

October!

Not too much news to report. Other than the launch of Totally Tweetable about a month ago I haven't spotted any other new safelists or mailers worth mentioning. Have I missed anything?

So let's just get to the stats!

Every day I submit a series of lead capture pages to dozens of safelists and viral list builders giving away free copies of my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics. I use link trackers to determine how much traffic my mailings generate as well as how many new subsc

Welcome to September!

Another month down and a whole new month of stats to share for the best safelists and viral list builders out there today.

The big news from last month was the re-release of List Surfing. This site definitely got a lot of attention and with good reason. List Surfing does an amazing job of blending the best elements of a traffic exchange with a safelist to create a unique advertising environment.

Totally Tweetable - An Honest Review

Yesterday saw the launch of the new program from Walter Bayliss called Totally Tweetable.

Let me start out by saying that I am a big fan of Walter's sites. I use Instant Blog Subscribers every time I update my blog. It's a great program. So I was very much looking forward to see what Walt's latest project was going to be. I have to admit I was very disappointed to find out that it was a new Twitter marketing tool.

I like Twitter. I have Twitter setup as my homepage in my browser.

List Surfing Video Review

It's been a week since List Surfing re-launched and I decided now would be a good time to dust off the webcam and do a quick video review to show you how the site works.

Here it is...

List Surfing Re-Launches Today!

You probably already know how much I love safelists...

but I also love traffic exchanges almost as much.

If there is anything that gets me more excited than the thought of my two favorite ad sources melting together into a mess of ooey gooey yumminess...

It's today's re-launch of List Surfing!

I know you are wondering so I'll just come out and say it...

To celebrate my birthday I have decided to give a little something back as a thank you to everyone who has helped make this past year such a success.

New Time-Bonus Ads at SOTAM

Happy Fifth of July!

I am a few days late with this but over the weekend State of the Art Mailer quietly unveiled a new feature on their site that has been long in the works. I am talking about their new "Time-Bonus Ads" which I will show you below.

If you are not familiar with State of the Art Mailer they are a unique viral list building site which is one of the most responsive advertising sites that I use.

Hello fellow Internet marketers!

Once again it is time to dig out my stats and show you what safelists and viral list builders have been working best for me during the previous month.

But first, the news...

Actually, there isn't much news this month. This biggest thing happening right now is yesterday's launch of Sean Supplee's new viral list builder called "List Ablaze". The site is running on the same script as many of the other recent viral list builders but with a few custom mod

My "List Laser" Interview with Sterling Valentine

Hello and Happy Monday!

I had a pretty rough weekend and I am feeling a bit under the weather today but I wanted to give a quick shout out for everybody who came out on Friday and listened to my live interview with Sterling Valentine as part of his List Laser 30 Day Listbuilding Challenge.

Today kicks off Sterling Valentine's "30 Day Listbuilding Challenge" at List Laser. In case you haven't heard I have been asked to be a guest judge and one of the trainers for the challenge.

To be honest, I hate public speaking (who doesn't?) so my mind has been racing trying to figure out what to talk about for an hour. I'm sure I will probably spend some time talking about how I got started list building and that got me thinking about how far I have come with the desig

Greetings and welcome to May!

Let's hope this month brings a few more flowers and a lot less showers.

The big story this month is... List Bonus! This new viral list builder quietly launched at the start of last month. I say quietly because the site had been actively promoted for a few months prior to this as part of the beta testing so when the site officially launched there wasn't much excitement surrounding it.

List Bonus is rocking! Lots of sign-ups and very few emails in my in

New JV Giveaway Events – April 27, 2011

Now that Easter is over things have finally quieted down a bit in the giveaway world.

The biggest event happening right now is the new program from Guido Nussbaum called "Traffic Gifts".

Traffic Gifts is not your typical giveaway event. It's more of a mix between a giveaway event and a free traffic exchange. While most events require you to sponsor other members to earn your rank with Traffic Gifts you can "surf" your way to the top.

It's pretty cool.

I have a new launch for you today...

There have been more than enough new launches lately. I think we could all use a little bit of a break, right?

Today I want to talk about an older tool which you may or may not have tried in the past.

Do you design your own splash pages?

What about squeeze pages?

If you are advertising on incentive based sites like safelists and traffic exchanges it is imperative that you are using short, fast loading pages

I Could Have Durfed All Night

Hello and happy Saturday!

This past week I recorded my first durfing video.

What is durfing?

I guess I should back up a little.

There is this certain traffic exchange that I spend a lot of time at called Sweeva. One of the things that makes Sweeva unique is that all members view the same page at the same time.

Every so often the guys at TimTech will throw a "Sweeva surfing party" where we all get online at the same time to look at and critique each other's sites. It's a great

Affiliate Landmines are a GOOD thing.

ClickTrackProfit vs TEProfits

Safelist Marketing Tactics - 2011 Edition

Happy New Year!

That's right. Another year of safelist marketing is in the books. And what a great year it was! 2010 saw more than a few new safelists/mailers step up and compete with the big guys who have dominated the market for years. I have also started to notice a much wider acceptance of safelists by the Internet marketing community as a whole which benefits all of us.

So what's new this month?

Not a whole lot, actually. Probably the best thing that happened last month w
