Hi,
Hello again to you, and a special welcome to all you new members!
Everyone wearing green today? I have to admit, I have a little shamrock pin
which I put on each year at this time – I have the illusion that it keeps me from getting pinched, and for the most
part it does! Some folks really take their St. Patrick’s Day seriously, you know. ;-)
Not too much else that’s new this week. It’s odd how marketing
things seem to go in waves. You know, last week I was talking about the SPAM wars, and this week I’ve noticed quite
a few articles in ezines by people who are saying, “Wait a minute. How hard is it to delete even a hundred
or so spam emails?” Maybe we are going to go full circle with this whole thing and just
ignore the stupid stuff. I know that’s pretty much what I do.
Anyhow, I think I’ll leave these advertising programs up for another
week. Enjoy! And Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I have found a neat little free program to track my emails and let me know
when they’re answered, though. (Thanks to Lisa Reddells’s Left-Handed Times for this
one.
I use Outlook Express, but it claims to be compatable with almost any email
program including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Pegasus, Netscape Mail and Incredimail. By the way, I’ve noticed
no strange spyware or additional junk mail. Want to give it a try? Here’s the link:

Think I’ll do some program reviews in the coming weeks, but today my
thoughts are on advertising opportunities for those of you already involved with programs of your own, so here goes –
are you using any of these?
If you like surfing, WolfSurfer has been around for quite awhile –
one thing I like about them is they approve all the links before they are shown. It’s free to join, and I believe they
are giving 200 credits for joining right now. You can also talk to real people there if you have any kind of problem. I once
bought a ridiculous amount of credits for a really small price and then didn’t hear from the other person involved.
I emailed support and they got me my credits. Hey, I’ll go for good service anytime. Anyhow, here’s the link:

There are a couple of good free solo ad programs I’ve used. First one
you may have seen on my website. It’s Solo ads – also free to join, and I’ve gotten pretty good results
with it. How it works is you look at usually three or so ads a day and earn points towards a solo of your own. I use a yahoo
mailbox for this kind of thing, but really, they don’t send that many solos per day. Here’s this link:

Another good one is Click4-Ads. This one gives you a few more ads to
view – no more than 10 a day, though, and, again, when you’ve accumulated enough points, you can run your ad for
free. This one has banner ads and several other ad options as well and gets good click-thrus because you have to view the
ad for 20 seconds and you can only click once. Here’s the link:

All of these, of course may be found on my website as well as the archives
of my past messages and all those lovely free articles, so stop by and have a look around why don’t you.
