In order to answer your question, I would suggest you ask yourself why people read the ads posted in each of the locations.

Most people who read safe-list ads do so in order to get credits, so they can then send out an ad of their own. Which means they already have a business or product they wish to promote. But it also means they are active in the internet marketing business, so if they do react to your ad, they are more likely to become an active PSA.

Most people who read

According to Wikipedia, an ad exchange is a technology platform that facilitates the bided buying and selling of online media advertising inventory from multiple ad networks. The approach is technology-driven as opposed to the historical approach of negotiating price on media inventory. Ad exchanges can be useful to both buyers (advertisers and agencies) and sellers (online publishers) because of the efficiencies they provide. The most prominent platforms of ad exchanges online are, AppNexus, RightMedia

Hello Ed,

Text ad Exchanges are best why?

Safelists help us to advertise our program to prospects who have signed up to receive and read emails.

Text ad exchanges provide opportunity to its members to display text ads on its website.

Even a non member who visits the Text ad exchange website can view ads displayed on the website. Paid members may get chance to display their ads on the top. Free members still have the opportunity to display their ads but

Both Text Ad Exchanges and Safelists are frustrating because of the saturation from SFI affiliates. This is counter productive because you are just adding to the pool of like-minded ads that can cause the people to grow numb to this business opportunity. While it is good to reach people who are already searching to promote their own online businesses, if you see too many SFI ads, it would be best to pack up and move to another site. As far as which one is best, I think they are both equally frustrating

Hi

I was in many years admin in 2 Text Ad Exchanges, is member of very many Text Ad Exchanges.

Personally I best like Text Ad Exchanges for Safelists, but both are good places to place your ads.
Members are mostly serious marketers, so if they join from your link, they will likely be active members.

There is other kind of mailers too, that can be very effective.

But any kind of exchanges is mostly with serious marketers, but they have likely also seen

I personally use both but feel more comfortable and seem to get more action from Safelists. You can never have to many of either as long as you are using them regularlly. There are many on line that are free but then they want you to upgrade. I never upgrade unless it is a very inexpensive and is a one time offer (OTO). It can be very expensive if you are on a monthly pay plan and the OTO system works well.

Hi!

Marketing and advertising for SFI all about finding out what is the best, probably not the easiest, but the most effective way to gain a reach. What I would advise is to do a little RESEARCH with both tools. Find out after two weeks if you have reached more people using either avenue. If text ad exchanges work better in your favor, continue using it. Safe lists do? Well, use it. And there is no harm in using both either.

Best of luck!

Neither. There are much better ways of spending your time and effort to promote your business.

The problem with both of these methods is that they have been flogged to death already, and the target audience is usually more interested in getting points to promote their own product with. The return on your investment is atrocious on a good day, and even worse if you end up paying for theses schemes.

Hello,

A good ad, one that produces results ...... such is not changed.
If an ad does not give good results, it should be changed.
Over time your ad, should be changed, because becomes more commonplace - so people do not react to it.

I personally have four types of ads, which noncircular ..... from time to time.

In any case, it should be more creative in making the ad - do not copy someone else's, but think of your ad!

My type is a variable ads!
 
Good

Judging from the hit tracking I am getting, it seems that most of or, a greater number of my hits are coming from my blog. From time to time I normally link some information (content) from the blog to my tripleclicks.com products that I might want to promote. In time a search engine will pick up your blog. You still need to promote your blog – and as you say, there are safe lists and traffic exchanges out there for that purpose. Your biggest efforts should be expended towards expanding the reach
