How to get members on your Google/Yahoo group?
 

I'm curious... I have no clue how to do that and it seems like a good source of traffic....

theres yahoo members list, grab the emails & send them an invite or just let it sit there, it'll get traffic & members after a little bit. my first week with no promotion, i got 4 members (for an indian solo girl site) from india surfers on yahoo.

becareful when adding mailing lists to your groups if you try to add more than 20 to more than one of your groups your gonna get flagged. It just happend to me for one of my other groups i tried importing the list from my group that has members into the new group i just started and it said google had flagged it and it asks you to give them a reason why you should be able to import hte list of mails

So I can only invite 20 people at a time?

Is that it? Or 20 people each day?

i'm not sure i got flagged to quickly to determine whether or not it was because i was trying to import to many in one day or just to many in a single time

i started a group last night and im not rich yet, i bet im getting shaved :mad:

teehee :)

gotta hate them shavers :rainfro

Lol....

Edit: I HATE this 8 characters rule!!!

Is this a good source of traffic?

Does it convert well?

it could be the potential is there

It's free so you really have nothing to lose but maybe a lot to gain...

How about losing time?

I have a small yahoo group with around 400 members. Yesterday was the first time I have ever spammed them since I started it 1 year ago..It was a Christmas Card/Spam lol
:xmas-smil

Any sales from that spam?

If you have enough, any source will convert. But We get some nice stats from it.

It's not spam. Yahoo itself says their groups are NEWSLETTER groups. If you join a NEWSLETTER how can you be spammed by them? Also there is a NO E-MAIL option if the member doesn't want to receive e-mail from the group. Anyone that joins your group has ZERO right to accuse you of spamming them. I mean you are going to look real retarded complaining about receiving the newsletter you REQUESTED to be sent to you.

As it is I put a reminder in any e-mail that the member is receiving that e-mail because they are a member of that group and they have their e-mail settings to accept e-mail from that group and if they do not wish to receive e-mail from the group then they should cahnge their e-mail or leave the group.

Listen if you have a group, a common sense way to get members is to join other groups and post a message about your group. Most group owners do not care if other group owners post "Please join" messages or put a link to your group in their link section as long as you return in kind.
