FFAs
-
Free-For-All
sites are websites to which anyone may post their ads freely.
An FFA site can collect anywhere from a dozen hand-postings
per day to 1,000 or even 1,500 postings from auto-submitters
around the net. Most FFA sites are members of some network
that sends submissions to them 24/7. An
FFA site usually rotates these ads off the page after the list
gets too long. On average, most sites drop an ad when there
are 100 postings after it.
-
Are
FFA ads profitable?
-
-
Almost
assuredly NOT. Most of these ads are never seen by human eyes.
In addition, most sites receive SO MANY postings, that an ad
may not even remain on the site for more than thirty minutes!
-
-
So
why should anyone bother with FFAs? REVERSE
MARKETING is the key to FFA success. The whole angle on
FFAs is to OWN ONE! If you OWN an FFA site, then the thousands
of ads that are posted to your site are YOUR PROSPECTS!

Safelists and
Emails
-
If you want to advertise by EMAIL
Build your OWN Mailing List. This is by far the most profitable path to take to generate traffic for your site. Use sign-up forms on your website, or ask people
to reply to your autoresponder. Either way you will catch their names and addresses and compile your own VERY VALUABLE LIST!
-
Always send them a confirmation letter immediately with an OPT-OUT link. That is insurance that
their name actually came directly FROM THEM. If they didn't actually WANT to be on the list, they can bail out NOW. Otherwise, you have just reinforced the
sign-up as a valid OPT-IN member - someone who really wants to be on your list.
-
Join SAFELISTS.Not many FREE lists get very good results any more. Most of these are being sent to
JUNK EMAIL ACCOUNTS where the recipient TRASHES it and NEVER READS IT. PAID SAFELISTS are considerably better.
-
The people who PAY to join a SAFELIST
generally intend to use the list for their own ads, and they treat the list with a lot more respect. They are more likely to SEE the ads and respond to them.
SOME LISTS are of a higher quality than others.
-
The best SAFELIST you can use is one
that is TARGETED to the kind of people you really want to reach. Don't join a list that doesn't have a similar interest in whatever you are trying to
advertise. Be selective.
-
HOW TO WRITE EFFECTIVE SAFELIST ADS:
ALL advertising depends on the quality of your copy-writing. In today's JUNK MAIL environment, most people are automatically deleting their junk
mail. Nevertheless, even junk mail gets some results. It can vary from less than ONE response per 10,000 letters, to a typical range of .5% to 2.5%. Again,
good copywriting makes all the difference.
