I shudder when the topic of safelists comes up...
I follow the ClickTrackProfit lessons protocol and sign up to a bunch of (5) safelists. I dutifully activate each site, complete the profiles and work my way through the initial emails.
Need a nap after all of that.
Next day, I logon and Cortana announces: "You have 10000 NEW safelist messages!"
Best thing I can recommend is to set up a separate gmail account for your safelist emails. Your don't want to use your primary email for all the junk you're going to get, you will never be able to find your important emails.
But Mad Dog, you STILL have 10000 messages! (lol)
Thats why I have a seperate gmail account for mailers and safelists, and then I apply filters so that when I go to the email address they are all sorted and I can choose which ones I want to support
I agree, which is why I only use safelists that I can handle on my main email, less than 100 emails per day in total, click them for 15 minutes, then throw away the rest, the really great thing about that strategy is that those safelists also have the best CTR, have an awesome weekend.
