iPostAd Safelist Submitter | Frequently Asked Questions

General

Did you really obtain permission from all these safelist owners?

Yes. iPostAd has a Safelist Directory that includes all of the safelists. If you have any doubts we encourage you to ask the safelist owners. While you are own their sites take time to look around. iPostAd safelist owners are some of the best people in the marketing world.

Will I receive a lot of email using iPostAd?

Yes. Absolutely. Don't pay for a safelist submitter that claims you wont receive any or much email. If you join a safelist submitter and you don't receive a lot of email then that submitter has problems. Email is a natural part of safelist use. When you get a ton of email it means that your ad went out.

There are thousands of lists in our system, and they are all valid, working lists. For this reason you must use a reliable list email address and keep your email box clean, we highly recommend our email service YuhKnow.com simply because we know it's reliable and we know it won't bounce. It runs on ten dedicated servers overseen by a programmer who has over ten years of experience in email.

Some submitters say no email received, isn't iPostAd like that?

No. iPostAd is 100% legitimate and legal. Many submitters claiming "no validations" and "no email received" are stealing resources from safelists. Sneaking in the back door of programs without joining is theft of services. Some submitters may create a few main accounts on safelist. Then force all of their members to post through those accounts. People who use those submitters may be violating safelists TOS and civil, country, regional and or international law.

iPostAd is careful to obtain permission from all safelists it transfers ads to. As well as obtaining any necessary agreements from our members and complying with applicable civil, state, and federal laws.

Will I get responses and or sales from using iPostAd?

This depends on your ad copy, subject line and what you are selling.

iPostAd gives you tons of advantages over other safelist advertisers. The only thing iPostAd is missing is you the ad writer.

We can't write those ads for you. If our programmer should figure out a way we might create a new iPostAd membership level. That level would cost a whole lot of money but that's if we even sell it. If we had a program that wrote ads and kept them sent out why would we sell memberships to that? Heck fire, seems like the smart thing would be to feed it some product URLs and take a nap haha.

In email advertising, aside from sending out the email, the subject is the most important element. One cannot sell via email unless five things happen.

The email must:

Land in email inboxes of humans
1. iPostAd has that one nailed down for you
Be opened
1. You need good, creative, interesting and fresh subject lines. There is not much else that can be done to get your ad opened.
Must be read
1. Same with the body of your email ad. If it's bland, boring and same ol same old yada yada yada then it's not going to get read. On the other hang, if the ad copy (sales pitch) is interesting then it should be read.
Must interest the reader
1. The ultimate aim would be to target interested people with your products.
2. The product does matter but if the ad copy is interesting some people will read it anyway.
3. How many times have you read an email or article because it was funny?
4. People like interesting stories.
5. Aim at the readers emotions. Humans like their emotions jerked ;-)
6. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
7. Your job is to find new cat skinning techniques.
Must entice the reader to action (click link)
1. There are plenty of honest ways to get someone to click a link.
2. The fun part is figuring those ways out and using them to make money.

Will I be spamming?

No. All lists in iPostAd are safelists. By joining the safelists listed in iPostAd you are giving permission for other members to send you their ads. At the end of the day it's all pretty simple.

Is iPostAd really easy to use? Some I've tried are very difficult.

Yes. Ease of use is important to us at iPostAd. It's simple to use.

Do I have to download any software to my computer?

No. iPostAd is 100% web-based.

Email Information

Are there any email addresses I can't use?

Yes. We have compiled a list of email address domains from the safelists listed in iPostAd: The safelists listed in iPostAd ban these email domains so we cannot accept them. These email domains are notorious for bouncing due to various reasons. Some of those reasons are server timeouts, misc. server problems or not allowing safelist email.

If iPostAd members used banned email addresses those safelists would put that members account on hold. That members ads would leave iPostAd and go to the safelists. When the ad reached the safelist it would be reject. The members ad would not be mailed out by the safelist. It would put unnecessary work load on the safelist server. To the member it might seem that iPostAd did not send their ad to the safelist. In other words, it would be a failure for everyone involved.

Our goal is to keep you using iPostAd for many years to come. If your ads don't reach members for any reason then you'll be unhappy with iPostAd. We must require appropriate email addresses be used with iPostAd. It's really simple, if no one sees your ads then you won't be happy with iPostAd and you'll quit. Then all of us will be unhappy ;-(

Many other submitters don't care if you use banned email addresses. They will take your money and let you join safelists without letting you know that you will have issues with joining. We would rather refund your payment before we let you use a banned email address.

Want to quickly check your email addresses against the banned email list for possible issues? check your email address. If you have any questions please contact support.

Should I use my ISP email addresses with the iPostAd system?

No. We do not recommend it because many ISPs block safelist email. If your ISP blocks the safelist email you won't be able to validate. Then you can't post your ad to the safelists and all your work is wasted. it's also important to use an email service that gives you control to use filters. Many ISPs do not provide the use of filters to their customers.

Should I use a free email addresses with iPostAd?

No. There are many problems associated with safelists and free email services. These issues are amplified when associated with high volume safelist submitters like iPostAd.

Some free email services:

Block safelist email
TOS that seems to make bulk email a violation
Are not reliable
Throttle incoming email

Many free email services only allow a limited number of emails from a mail server in a certain period of time. Example, 100 emails per hour but the number and time span vary greatly. This limit is the total number of emails sent from a mail server. Not just a limit on the number sent to a certain email address. Some servers delay accepting email from bulk email servers after this limit is met.

When the time span is over then they may accept more emails from the sending server. That is until the number limit is met again and it all starts over again. That is an generalized description and not meant to be technical or exact.

Safelists normally send out large volumes of email using low cost servers on low budgets.

Trying to hold large numbers of emails waiting to be accepted back can puts a huge strain on a low budget safelist.

Many safelists email sending servers put a very short expiration time (few minutes) on their email queue to avoid queues that become impossibly large. Once the queues become too large it will cause email servers to stop working.

Receiving email servers know bulk email senders do this. So by delaying acceptance the receiving servers avoids receiving as many bulk emails.

Even when, receiving email servers delay acceptance of emails some will still end up in the users inbox. Until the maximum number of emails for a certain period of time has been met those first several emails will be accepted. This can mask the issue from the end user's prospective. Since they see some email in their inbox they think everything is working fine. In reality not all emails are getting through to the end users inbox.

Besides those and other issues, some free email services report bulk email servers to spam avoidance organizations. The safelist ends up on anti-spam list and websites when in fact they only send opt-in email. Getting some of those organizations to remove a safelist from their UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) list can be next to impossible even if one has proof. All this can cost a safelist many problems as they spend time and money trying to defend their benign practices.

That is a very general and incomplete description of issues involved with free email services.

At the end of the day many safelists close down because of these sorts of issues.

We strive to run an honest, ethical and legal service that takes care of iPostAd members and listed safelists owners. Since we know these issues can (and do) come back to haunt safelist owners we do not recommend free email services be used.

What if I don't have an email addresses to use with iPostAd?

We recommend our YuhKnow email account service which is included in the iPostAd advertising package. It includes two YuhKnow email addresses and an iPostAd Master membership. Everything that you need to advertise to as many safelist that you can shake a stick at. Plus lots of free bonuses and all for one low discounted price.

YuhKnow

Many other features

Another option, if you have a Internet domain (yourdomain.com) is to setup two email addresses on your domain. * .WS domains and domains hosted with godaddy will not work because they block safelist email. A domain is an affordable alternative for those who want to have their own domain and email addresses. 1and1 offers an email solution starting at 99 cents per month.

Another affordable option if you have your own domain is to setup a shared website hosting account. Having your own domain is affordable. Once you have a domain you can then set it up to use with email. To do that you need a reliable hosting company. One that offers the ability to create email addresses for your domain. Most of all you need one with excellent customer service.

We have used RapidVPS dedicated servers for years. They supply great shared website hosting starting at $5.95 per month and their support is out of this world. Head on over to RapidVPS From their main page click on "Services" then on the next page start reading under "Website Hosting".

Our email checker will test your domain email address and let you know if it's acceptable for use with iPostAd.

Can I use one email address for contact and list email address?

No. you'll need two separate email addresses for joining the safelists. The safelists listed in iPostAd (like most) do not allow a single email address to be used for both the contact and list email address.

Before joining iPostAd, we require that everyone read the Terms Of Service and the Safelist Rules.

Why do I have to validate my email address with the safelists?

Because you'll be a real member of each safelist. You receive your own account with each safelist and validate it just like regular safelist members. You can log into your account through iPostAd or manually by going directly to that safelist.

iPostAds validation process is simple and user friendly. We have an auto validation system that will validate all your safelist emails for you.

Will my ad be delivered if my email account is full?

It's doubtful. It depends on each individual safelist. Most of the safelists use an automated bounce program. Some safelist owners do bounce checks manually. Either way, if your email bounces back to them your safelist account is disabled. You won't be able to post ads (through that safelist) until you re-validate your email address with that safelist.

It's also why iPostAd will not allow certain email address domains to be used, known as "the banned list". The banned list iPostAd uses is a composite of many banned list of iPostAd listed safelist. It's not a banned list that was compiled for iPostAd to use to irritate our members.

If one uses iPostAd with email addresses that are banned on safelist listed in iPostAd he or she won't get results. Why? Because the safelists who ban the email address domains won't mail your ads out. For that reason we must enforce the collective banned email address domain list. If we did not enforce the safelists banned list we would not be providing high quality support.

We want each member to be successful. We pass our combined twenty-five or so years of experience to our members. If one wants to pay novices for submitter services then expect novice services. Pay us premium prices and we are going to impart our submitter wisdom to you. We would rather refund your money at the start than to set you up for failure. We have refunded money for this very reason. Would iPostAd have lasted ten years if we set people up to fail? No and we won't knowingly do so.

YuhKnow is successful because it's one of the few "safelist email services" that don't ever refuse email sent to its members. YuhKnow don't refuse email because it's under too much load. We have over ten years experience in high volume email services. We also spend a lot of money on servers so YuhKnow won't miss email. YuhKnow don't even bounce your email if your account is full, if you are in good standing. We also spend a lot of time working with safelist owners. Good things come from those close relationships and you benefit by being our member. Our programmer knows what he is doing and does high volume email right.

If you are in need of a reliable email account we highly recommend the YuhKnow.com email service.

Account Specific

You mentioned two levels of membership. What are they?

We've had many requests for a beginner's level of the iPostAd Submitter. So we created a budget version and it's called the "Freshman". It's value priced at half the cost of the original "Master" Membership. Freshman can are able to auto-join safelists and submit with just one click. Freshman also get two credits for use with the auto validator.

How do i upgrade from freshman to master membership?

Submit a support ticket with your iPostAd ID and tell us you want to upgrade. Upgrading to master membership is simple and can be done at any time by contacting us. We will upgrade your account, payment subscription and let you know when it's done.

Can I purchase more than one paid account?

No. One paid account per person. Most safelists terms of service state one free account per person. We gave our word to iPostAd safelist owners that we would limit iPostAd members to one paid account.

How do I cancel my account?

Contact Us and provide the subscription information, the ID of the account and your full name. The subscription payment will need to be canceled for the account.

If you cancel your iPostAd account you'll still be a member of these safelists. You will continue to receive emails until you cancel those memberships. Fortunately, before you leave you can unsubscribe from these safelists using the iPostAd system with a click.

Submitter Questions

How do I know my ads are actually being sent out?

Check your email account and you'll see your ads in there ©¿©

iPostAd has an unique reporting feature, the "Last Post Result". After auto-join is complete the results for each safelist is posted in your member area. Just click on the link that corresponds with a safelist to view the results.

The saved results page is the same page you would see if you manually posted to that safelist. This page will tell you what you might be wanting to know about your last post.

If you just auto-joined, it will describe how that process worked out. If you posted an ad, it may show that your ad was sent and to how many members.

How soon can I submit my ad after I join iPostAd?

Twenty-four hours. Some safelists take longer than others to send out validation emails. Waiting a full twenty-four hours after you auto-join and auto-validate before submitting your first ad is recommended.

If I use iPostAd daily, will my ad reach all safelists everyday?

For best results use iPostAd submitter on a daily basis. When you join iPostAd you join each safelists as a free member.

Each safelist has a set limit on how often their free members can post. Not all have the same free member post limits. Mostly the limits are every seven, five, three and (some) every day.

Each safelists posting limit is programmed into iPostAd. When you post an ad iPostAd will time stamp each safelist with the current date and time. The next time you post an ad iPostAd will check if your limit has expired for each safelist. If it's time for you to post to a certain safelist then iPostAd will send that safelist your post.

If it's not yet time to post to that safelist then iPostAd will skip that one for now. So to get the best results it's smart to use iPostAd everyday. You can't "over post" because iPostAd is not going to allow it ;-)

No more trying to keep track of when to post to a particular safelist, iPostAd does it all for you.

How does iPostAds ad rotator work?

This ad rotator is iPostAds pride and comes with the master membership.

You can save five different ad bodies and five different subject lines. When when you post an ad iPostAd rotates those mix and match. People join a lot of safelist and receive a lot of email. It's just not humanly possible to read all of the email one may receive from say, 1000 safelist.

That's not to say members don't check it out by reading subject lines. You may be surprised at how many members look through the subject lines of all safelist email. Do you want those members to see five of your same subject lines in their inbox? Or how about five different subject lines of yours?

Put it this way, iPostAd gives you five times the subject lines. iPostAd gives you twenty-five times the ad combinations. Over time that adds up to a lot better chances of making a sale to members.

Can I load other safelists into my account and submit to them?

No. Safelist owners must give their permission before their safelist can be listed. Safelist owners can request that their safelist be listed and it's free.

Are credit based safelists in iPostAd?

iPostAd is not a credit based safelist mailer. It would be impossible for a single person to earn credits on 2800+ safelists daily.

What if I am already a member of some of the safelist in iPostAd?

You can use them in iPostAd. You would enter your IDs and passwords for those safelists in your members area during the auto-join process.

You'll be shown a list of safelists and check off the ones you're a member of. Then you'll add your username and password for each of those safelist.

You only have to do this once per safelist and you're finished. Don't worry, that process is only for the safelist you're already a member of and want to use in iPostAd. The rest of the safelists are joined for you with one click.

If you want to let iPostAd join them all for you then it's a quick click and you are done.

Support

I have questions that aren't answered here. What now?

Here is iPostAd general contacting us page. This is the direct URL to our company support ticket system. The easiest route to support is to put a support ticket in and ask your question.

If I submit a support ticket, how fast can I expect an answer?

Usually within minutes, but most certainly within 24 hours.

Miscellaneous

Why are safelist that use turing codes not listed in iPostAd?

It would be dishonest for us to work around turing codes. If a safelist uses turing codes they are trying to discourage submitter use. iPostAds policy is not to steal services or cause other people problems. "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12", applies here.

Safelist Owners

I'm a safelist owner, why would I want to add it to iPostAd?

Lots of reasons. Too many to list in a FAQ. Go to the following page for plenty of details. Safelist Owners
