  1. I agree, I have had a few like that happen to me also. The admin of the site is trying to stop junk from getting through but I think there must be a better way of doing it. Even with these block processes being applied junk still gets through. A challenge for SL Admins find a better process please,
  2. Your question is why I am interested in this Subject. Some blocked promos look great and I an find no problem with them but the mailer says there is a blocked word on top of that I get no help in identifying what is causing the block. The list of blocked words does not help that much.
  3. In some of the other discussions the problem of block words has come up and I thought that this would be a worth while subject, maybe even the problem of block url's. I see the need for them but I think there needs to be something that will make this less of a problem and more us a solution. I have found the problem of blocked words to be very restrictive with very little information about what is causing the problem. I would like to see more information about what is causing a blocked word problem. I find that I have to try to guess what is causing the problem. I don't deal in the adult market or in any of the shadow areas of the market but the blocked words problem thinks my subjects are from that area. When I look at the list of blocked words I see maybe 10 words none of which I am using and no indication as to what is causing the problem. I would like to see this get to the webmasters of these sites such that they take steps to help me get my message out. It has taken me as much as a half hour to find a message that would work and that is a tremendous waste of my time. I think webmasters can do better than that.
  4. I am a fan of Ad Troopers at least as they were, now I am not so sure. I have my Admiral status but I got it almost 4 years ago, nowadays it seems to be expensive. They do have a membership of more than 15,000 but this blocked word problem makes mailings a problem. I have wasted as much as 30 minutes trying to get a subject that works with their blocked word process and that makes them a big problem in my promotion process. They are not responsive with their membership which makes them a problem in the promotion process. I just wish they would listen and fix the blocked word process. I find myself avoiding sites which use this type of processing, I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with this process.
  5. I recently tried and started using the Bweeble link processor. I would not all it a cloaker perjust just a just say but I like what they have done to make the link more unique. not only can you track links but you can show other information as is your want. I would like to see more of these types of tracker/cloakers from others, more than just we offer a tracker/cloaker for you. I think Bweeble has the right idea.
  6. Interesting idea, even if the same person is a member of 100 mailers and you send the same message to all 100 in one day that person will probably not realize you are the same person with the same message that day because they are reading the messages for their own reason. This is more a process of numbers over content. They will react to you promo depending on weather you are there at the right time when they are looking for something. That something can be a need to change or an unhappiness with their current situation or you catch their interest. This is one of the reason you should promote often because then you can provide them with what they need when they need it.
  7. Go for SafeList Genie, Referral Frenzy, and Mailer Ninja, these will give you a tremendous boost in your promotions process. With these you can send a promo out to over 300 SafeLists and/or Traffic Exchange in less than 1 hour giving you time to focus on other process involved in your promotion process. For me this is a great way to redeem the time.
  8. My normal practice is to cycle through all my connections at least once a month. In some/many cases I visit the site more than once a month and when I visit the site I mail to the max. I use tools like Referral Frenzy, Mailer Ninja, and SL Genie. This gives me great control over my promos. I have a list of all my connections listed in an Excell Spreadsheet which I sort by date. My process seems to give me the best control over my promos without the fear of any free membership being terminated, Also I upgrade as my finances allow. This is a process which works for me as a result whether I have 1000 or 3000, or 1 day, 3 day, or what I think I am getting the best use of the sites I am a member of.
  9. Ad Troopers just added a Support Mod and through it I was able to connect with them and as a result I was able to reestablish my Admiral Status. They asked for my PayPal receipt which had the payment information on it and when they got it they were happy and corrected my status. I still have a problem and this occurs on other sites as well and that is the blocked word list. They seem to block some things for no valid reason. We are working on it .
  10. Handled correctly your downline becomes like family. You develop a relationship such that they will trust you and as a result they will follow you into new areas and may signup behind you. The saying "The money is in the list" becomes more real as this relationship grows.
  11. I think that a good link cloak-er would be one that uses your main domain as a base and part of the resulting link as well. This would result in being able to track your link and having a short version on the original link as well as your domain being shown in the resulting link, wow that is a lot. I have started using bweeble for some of my cloaking because I like how they build their link with extras included. I think that this area has a lot of room for growth and redo. A good link could do a lot in the promo arena I think. I am curious if anyone is using the new smart url I have see recently, I have been thinking about checking it out to see if it might be good to use.
  12. I just checked my account and I have the same problem. I mailed something out yesterday and all else seemed to be ok, just that they have a limit of 5000. This may be due to the fact that they list me as free even though I was at the admiral level. I tried to find a place where I could message them about the free vs Admiral problem and could find no path to use. Any suggestions on how to reach the support people at AdTroopers so I can get this cleared up.
  13. I read through this and would recommend that you publish this as an article somewhere, I know you probably have it published in your blog but I think it would go well in other places where articles are published. It would fit well as a PR in IBOTool Box also,
  14. I am anxious to see it back up soon and look forward to using it again. I a, also at the admiral level and they have a large membership which can be mailed to.
  15. I think those worried about the limited number of people being reached through a SL or a TE and looking at the process with the wrong purpose. We should be looking at these as ways of building our personnel list not as supporting a SL or a TE. When you send a message out you are trying to get the person reading your message to join your list. When you focus on your own list it doesn't matter weather you are sending to 1 or to 1,000,000 or weather you are sending every day or every 7 days. Your focus is in getting that person to join your list so you can work with them directly.
  16. That's good to know. I can see the value of more than one, I thought one would get the results of two but I see the flaw in my thinking, I thought that the owners would try to avoid having the same item repeated but I guess not.
  17. Personally I look for the lifetime from a monetary stand point. I think it gives me the best advantage possible, and it also encourages me to promote the SL since I am in for the long haul. The annual model is not bad because it come close to what I perceive in the lifetime model, and do not like the monthly model because the money doesn't always flow the way I want and I want to control closer who it flows.
  18. If I understand SL's correctly instead of putting the same banner in more than once just add credits to the banner, should result in the same thing, in some SL's I have the same banner more than once but that is due to either a mistake on my part or the older version has expired. I think you would want a different banner for the same site instead of the same banner more than once, This is just what I have observed having been in this for more than 5 years. Those who own SL;s and TE's should chime in here since they have the most knowledge of how these work.
  19. The key to all this working is that we agree to read the emails. We don't have to read eaach and every one sent to us but at least some, this is only fair and you get ideas for your future promos.
  20. Great, by the way I was looking at doing an upgrade here, is there an upgrade of a lifetime or yearly, I am not a fan of the monthly.
  21. Great thanks so much I was looking for it. Quick question will these be in the url each month.
  22. Hey I am trying to find the link to the page with the Promo Code to be used in: Adchiever.com, DownlineMaxx.com, ViralNugget.com, ListJumper.com, BuildMyDownlines.com, ListSurfing.com I thought I had it but no go and I have not ween an new email with the link in it. Can anyone help me get the link.
  23. Just because you advertise in Google does not Guarantee you will sell anything and you will have to shell out money to do it. The best sales are from are effort. Promote, build a list, promote, build a list, sell. Google will pick you up in it searches as you have generic traffic visit your site, and you site could be ugly as sin and still work.
  24. I use 3 PC 1 a laptop, 1 a desktop, and 1 a 10" tablet and am in the process of putting 10 on the desktop. Will let you know how it behaves in a few days. I sort of have certain process I do on each of these machines daily and the desktop is my primary surfing PC using TE's. The last to update will be my Win 7 laptop machine at least at this time. I will probably do my wife's laptop next whild she is at work. I hope to give a good test of what Win 10 can do in the iNet environment.
  25. I received a call from someone who claimed to be associated with IBO ToolBox, they were claiming that if I worked with them they could get me ranked on the first pages of Google. I tried to pin them down to give me information proving who they were and they could not comply. I doubt they were with IBO ToolBox and were trying to scam me. Be aware and cautious with this type of call, with all that is going on this type of scam will increase. The best way to get on Google pages is to work hard and promote.
