Is your email marketing profitable?

Safelist marketing is where I generate at least 90% of my subscribers. A lot of people frown on them and say that they are useless. However, if you have an effective squeeze page and an even more effective subject and message to submit to the safelists, they are golden. I also use traffic exchanges and some subscribers trickle in from the forums as well. Hope this helps.

Here is why ...

When you publish a good newsworthy release targeted to a specific group or industry that release will get picked up and syndicated by any number of news organizations from print to radio to internet news sites and industry specific websites.

The bonus factor from press releases is that each time your story is published on a website it creates a link back to your website thus dramatically increasing your link popularity a key to better search engine ranking.

The simple formula -

press releases = traditional and internet exposure + increased search engine ranking.

Incidentally... are you looking for a place to hone your press release skills and to distribute your release to over 100000 news outlets? Try http://www.addpr.com

I use forums, such as these to promote my website.

Since I autosurf, the websites I wish to promote are put there also.

I noticed a couple people have said they surf and get leads, can you give some of the ones which generate good responses?

Thank you

SEO have worked well for me but not much else. Adwords, adbrite, adsense are a terrible waiste of money and I am still looking for new ways to advertise.

I've found that getting traffic is not so difficult,
using traffic surf programs or even submitting
articles and ezine ads.

What I find so daunting is trying to stay unique
for the viewer. What's the use of all the traffic
when they all leave your website without taking
any action?

Highly targeted traffic is the way to go, and that
will happen best through forums such and this.

You are right getting Traffic is the most important thing. It can be done by advertising the site to similar related forums. FOR SEO's:- For increasing their ranking
give full details of what you have done entire day for the job.

I think press releases, link exchanges and directory submissions work well for me!

I tried two times to see Your Automatic Traffic site and both times it was offline. Do you have another link?
