Hello J.E.
As far as safelits go, many companies do not want you to use these
because you may receive a complaint{spam}
To get around this problem you can use your safelists to make a free
offer. An example of this is to advertise a FREE program like FreeViral.
After you join this type of a program, just insert your GDI ad in
the top location. People have to click on the ad to get a code number.
And the more people that join your viral program, the more exposure
you will get.
There are many viral programs out there to choose from.
I hope that this will help you out a little.
