Ad Swap Request

Our ad swap system is a little unique. Please be sure to read all of the following before requesting an ad swap with us.

You can NOT use any kind of variables in your ad swap copy. The variable most ad swappers want to use is the first name of the subscriber. We do not necessarily gather the name of the subscriber. Many of our opt-in forms ask for their email address only. Our buyer list often has the company name in the name field and trying to extract a "first name" from the company name yields rather interesting results. So please do not attempt to use a variable such as "[!first-name]" in your ad copy. You also can't end your email with "[insert your name here]." Put the actual text you want to send for your email with no variables to fill in. We will end the email with our standard signature block as we always do. You don't need to close the email.

We also have deliverability issues covered for you. Please do NOT use tricks like "F.ree" or any other spammy "tricks" to try to get past spam filters. We have a very high deliverability rate and you simply don't need to use these tricks. They reflect poorly on your offer and look spammy. Even when you set up ad swaps with others, you should avoid these tricks since they are actually more likely to flag your email as spam than simply saying "Free" or whatever other word you are trying to "sneak" past the filters.

Don't be dishonest. We aren't friends. Don't imply that we are friends. My readers (and really all readers of every list) are smart and see through dishonest tactics like that. They will be far less likely to download your free offer or to buy anything from you if you are dishonest with them in your very first contact with them.

You will receive a free blog post in addition to an emailing of your offer. So write your offer as though it were both an email and a blog post. It will be. We don't expect a blog post from you in return. This is just a special bonus we offer our ad swap partners.

You don't need to worry about your list size. Our own average visitors delivered per ad swap is:

If you have a list that delivers more, we will automatically run your ad swap again until we have met or exceeded the number of visitors you sent us. If your list is smaller than ours, we hope you will do the same to make things more even. Don't worry about meeting or exceeding the traffic we send you though. That will be impossible since we will forever be trying to beat each other's traffic numbers.

We have an automatic ban system in place. If you request an ad swap and then don't send your side of the ad swap, we will ban your IP, web-site, email and any other identifying information we have gathered from our system. That information will also be shared with our ad swap partners. You will have access to that information yourself after our second successful ad swap. Most ad swaps go fine, but there are people out there who try to cheat. Everyone in our ad swap group shares information about the cheaters so we can avoid getting tricked by the same cheaters.

There is no way to cancel an ad swap once you request one. Once you click the submit button, your ad swap is automatically scheduled and will go out from our side. You will be redirected to a page that has the ad copy for your list. If you don't set your side up and send it out, the system will automatically add you do our blacklist. It is important to have everything ready to go BEFORE you hit the submit button. Make sure your ad copy is correct and that you actually have the date you selected available BEFORE you hit the submit button.

We focus on buyers, not freebie seekers. The offer we will provide for you to send to your list will not be for a free report. It will be for an inexpensive (usually $10) downloadable product about the topic of this blog. If you know your readers are only freebie seekers, then you probably shouldn't request an ad swap from us. We are happy to send our readers to your offer whether it is a free report or an inexpensive special offer. That is up to you.

We are fairly loose about the topic of your ad swap. Look at this site. This site is the general topic of those on our list, but we also gather subscribes from other related sites. If you think your offer would be of interest to readers of this blog and you think your subscribers would be interested in the information on this blog, then we are open for an ad swap.
