        Never thought you could get dozen of thousands people to join them ... must be 90 % newbie traffic

            I used to have a shitload of yahoo groups, egroups (before yahoo bought them out), various clubs, etc. It's a great way to builda loyal targeted traffic base.

            I've started re-building my groups and pumping them back up lately.

            I always advise a moderated group as it's easier to deal with spam and illegal pics (the LAST thing you want is a questionable picture hitting your group). I also suggest opening a seperate group for each sponsor and talking to them about using their content to promote the group. If they don't want the traffic, fuck them and send it to someone who does...

            I'm also looking into MSN Groups, but they are really full of spam and the sheer number makes it a little harder to build.

            If you want to know some other dirty little inside secrets about yahoo group promotion, I'll have an ebook for sale within the next month or so (sorry, I can't take knowledge I've built tirelessly over the years and just give it away for free ;-)))
            If your ebook is $10 or less, I'll order a copy.

              We had one of these a while back for one of our pay sites...the traffic was good and it gives you the chance to promote amongst the group and encourage them to actively recruit members. All was going well untill one day out of the blue yahoo nuked the group and all the owners accounts.

              Might have to set up another one soon i think

                It depends on how you do it, Biggy2. This is the HASSLE FREE way to do it. CAN SPAM comes into play if the users don't opt in.

                    yup, this is the most important thing...stay within their TOS

                    I made the mistake of getting a little too "promotion crazy" with some older yahoo groups and they went bye-bye (along with a decent, steady stream of income)

                        There is. Mycommunitymail.com doesn't censor their groups and is very adult group friendly. url is http://www.mycommunitymail.com

                        are there any other popular group creating services out there?

                                nice tip. i began doing it 3 years ago, which made me buy a domain....the egroups served as a trial - if i can get people here, ill make a site was what i thought.

                                basically, the egroups is pretty decent if you do it right.

                                cool that you posted the link this "tip" came from, should have some other interesting traffic material. thx.

                                    edit - the bitchnporn link isnt as good as i thought it was. it hasmany moderated groups that prevent members from posting messages, which arent worth joining. what you want to do is be able to post messages and add your link. knock down both tasks with each group and youll get some traffic. the more places your visible, the better chances you have of being clicked.

                                                I prefer moderated on most of my groups so I can control the content and spamming...I'll occasionally open a non-moderated group for discussion of the niches as well as the ability to promote other groups under different names ;-)

Well yahoo will shut you down for using their groups for porn if you are lucky they will just ban you ID like they did mine, trouble is now I have 4 groups with about 30K members which have no moderater.

                                                          I believe OBSCENITY is banned not porn. There is a LEGAL (and BIG) difference.

                                                            I disagree that 9 of 10 Sponsor programs don't allow Yahoo Group Traffic.


                                                            We allow Yahoo Group Traffic.
                                                            All Yahoo Groups are Double Opt In, so there is not TOS problem.

                                                                      are there any other popular group creating services out there?

                                                                      If they charged I would pay for my groups, surfers know how to use the functionality and know their way around the screen etc so it makes them dead easy convert into money spinners.

                                                                                    It's what I've been saying ever since I got into this biz.

                                                                                    You don't need umpteen gillion people just anywhere from 500 to 1,000 loyal fans who'll pay you $10 to $20 per month minimum to make great loot in this biz. Keep your overhead low, satisfy your fans and you can roll on.

                                                                                    Some guys have 5,000 websites and don't make shit. Some guys have 2 or 3 and make a fortune.

                                                                                    It's about quality and communication. Plain and simple. That's where groups come in because it's like having an opt-in gallery and emal and newsletter all rolled into one.

                                                                                    I just found out you can make your own groups from your own website. Too techy for me but I'm sure one of you gurus can do this.

                                                                                    In the past 72 hours I have been on a big ass lucky streak. Stats are rising and overhead is lowering. I'll be debt free in a few days.

                                                                                    It's not like umbillion people are signing up for my groups. It's that the surfers are SEEING the group and clicking to the paysite and/or affiliates or linking TO me.

                                                                                    Fans. Plain and simple. Make your site 'Fan Friendly' and give them a sense that there's a real person there and they'll sign up and stay.

                                                                                    Just ONE promo toon did this all. It's always worked for me since day one. I'll do more.

                                                                                    If anybody wants to trade links for promo toons hit me up via email.

That way you aren't sending traffic directly from a Yahoo Group to a sponsor.

This is a big problem if your group site is a NEWSLETTER site or MODERATED. Always have moderators --the more accounts the better, so they can help you out when your creator account is killed.

                                                                                              are there any other popular group creating services out there?

                                                                                                    but lately, ive been joining as many groups as possible, opting to recieve zero email, and posting to them all at once, maybe a few times a month.
