So &#8230;</span></p>
<p>If a brand new credit based safelist opened today and said they&#8217;ll give you 100,000 for joining, is that a great deal?</p>
<p>As an owner of a very popular and highly ranked credit based safelist (<a href="http://EliteSafelist.com" target="_blank">EliteSafelist</a>), I have a vested interest in making sure you see better results from your advertising.</p>
<p>Even if it&#8217;s not my own website, the results people get from credit based safelists reflect on the safelist world as a whole.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s common to see safelists offer credits for joining their program. But occassionally some safelists go overboard, giving away tens of thousands of even hundreds of thousands of credits for joining.</p>
<p>So back to the original question&#8230;</p>
<p>If a brand new credit based safelist opened today and said they&#8217;ll give you 100,000 for joining, is that a great deal?</p>
<p>It sounds like a great offer on the surface&#8230; but remember that the part of what makes a credit based safelist effective is having members actually clicking credit links and viewing ads.</p>
<p>When a new credit based safelist gives away that many credits, in most cases you can mail a few times a week for MONTHS without running out of credits.</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t have to click for credits, neither does anyone else!</p>
<p>No one viewing your ads = No Signups = NO SALES OR MONEY!</p>
<p>So do you REALLY want that 100,000 safelist credits? In most cases probably not.</p>
<p>One of the signs of a responsible credit based safelist owner is proper credit management. Don&#8217;t settle for anything less, because without real activity, you will simply end up wasting your time for little to no results.</p>
<p>One of the reasons <a href="http://EliteSafelist.com" target="_blank">EliteSafelist</a> is consistently ranked one of the best safelists online is due to diligent credit management.</p>
<p>Although it goes against our instincts, I&#8217;d advise running away as fast as you can if you see a new safelist offering you insane credit bonuses just for joining.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a top rated credit based safelist to join, feel free to check out <a href="http://EliteSafelist.com" target="_blank">EliteSafelist</a> and join the thousands of other members who are already enjoying fantastic, profit-boosting advertising.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free traffic websites like credit based safelists are powerful ways to advertise, especially if you aren’t good at getting website traffic.</p>
<p>I don’t really like doing stuff like writing articles, SEO, link building, social bookmarking, adwords, and all those other “traditional” traffic methods. Don’t get me wrong, they work, but those methods aren’t quite for me.</p>
<p>I got my start thanks to free traffic websites and I’ve discovered secrets from some of the best in the business.</p>
<p>In case you don’t know what a credit based safelist is, it is basically a membership website where you exchange emails with other members. When you sign up, you get to email other members. And in exchange, they get to email you. Members have an incentive to read your emails because they earn credits for viewing your website.</p>
<p>Today I’m going to share with you my stupidly simple formula for successful advertising at credit based safelists.</p>
<p>What do I mean by successful? I mean anywhere from 5-20 signups or opt-ins every time I send out my mailings.</p>
<p>So here’s the basics of it…<span id="more-202"></span></p>
<p>First, you need to build your mailing list. They either need to be signing up at your websites or on a professional autoresponder like Aweber. This is the key, because once someone is on your mailing list, you can email then whenever you want. Is there a new program you want to tell them about tomorrow? 3 months from now? If they are still on your list, you can tell them about it!</p>
<p>It’s like having cash on demand.</p>
<p>Second, you need to track your advertising. You need to know where you are getting your sign ups from. It’s not enough to just mail randomly to every safelist. I know exactly where I get my sign ups from, so I don’t waste my time at programs that don’t produce results.</p>
<p>For example, there are a couple of safelists where I could spend over an hour clicking for credits, but it only gets me about 1 sign up per mailing. In that time, I could click for credits at several programs that get me much better results.</p>
<p>But wait, couldn’t you just join the programs with the most members? Membership numbers don’t always equal results. The most important thing you want to know about is activity, and tracking your advertising helps you gauge that information.</p>
<p>And since you’re here, I’ll give you some real insider info. There’s a few programs that outright LIE by inflating their membership numbers. I won’t call them out by name, but sadly they are out there.</p>
<p>If the 3 reasons above aren’t reason enough to track your advertising, I don’t know what is. =)</p>
<p>Finally, use squeeze page or splash pages for your credit link URLs. Here’s an example:</p>
<p><a href="http://elitesafelist.com/splash5.php" target="_blank">http://elitesafelist.com/splash5.php</a></p>
<p>What you want is a short page, that quickly explains or gets the interest of the member. Think of it like a billboard. It doesn’t have to have fancy graphics like I showed you above. I’ve seen some squeeze pages that look “unprofessional” but pull in tons of opt-ins.</p>
<p>If you just follow these 3 tips, you’ll find your results at credit based safelists explode. Let’s get an action plan set up for you:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1)</strong> Sign up for an autoresponder so you can build your list. One of the best in the business is Aweber:<br />
=&gt; <a href="http://www.aweber.com/?216709" target="_blank">Click Here to Join Aweber<br />
</a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2)</strong> Track your advertising using Hitsconnect. You should ugrade to the highest level so you can track where your sign ups are coming from:<br />

</a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3)</strong> Create some splash or squeeze pages. There’s a few services you can use. Most of them are free to join, don’t require much or any knowledge of HTML, and have a bunch of other features I won’t mention here.</p>
<p>With Instant Banner Creator, you can make professional looking images for free, including splash pages:<br />
=&gt; <a href="http://instantbannercreator.com/?rid=2037" target="_blank">Click Here to Join Instant Banner Creator</a></p>
<p>Instant Squeeze Page Generator is just like it sounds, it helps you create squeeze pages fast just by filling in some forms. They even host products that your opt-ins can download when they sign up for your mailing list:<br />
=&gt; <a href="http://www.instantsqueezepagegenerator.com/index.php?rid=8832" target="_blank">Click Here to Join Instant Squeeze Page Generator</a></p>
<p>TE Tool Box is a service created for traffic exchanges, but you can use it for safelists too. They have a nice little editor inside so you can create splash and squeeze pages without knowing any HTML.<br />
