The Xtream Global Marketing internet advertising and online marketing resources fall in two main catagories: Email and Link. Email marketing primarily involves sending commercial email to people who have requested information, and targets people. Link marketing involves both posting links as well as something called Traffic. Link marketing targets both people and the search engines. Some venues double as both types, however they will be listed under their Primary function: if they involve sending email to members as their prime function, they are listed under Email Marketing. If they involve posting links - including text ads - or sending traffic to your websites - like traffic exchanges - they are listed under Link Marketing.
Xtream manages a number of member based marketing venues, meaning you must JOIN the resource as a member (also called an affiliate) in order to use the resource. Many of the sites listed have Free memberships, while some do not. Join each venue as instructed. The Admin of each site will verify your membership with Xtream Members and manually upgrade you at each venue at no additional cost to you. The value of the upgraded membership is around $200 monthly as of 10-30-08. To see the current value of your upgraded membership or privilege at each site, please visit the Xtream Resource Site. OTHER Specials, including free upgrades, are found on the Network Partner website.
Email Marketing Resources:
Safelists:
Join each list as a free member. Recommend you use 2 pop3 email accounts - one for your List (or subscription) email, another for your Contact email. Do NOT use your personal email account as a Contact email address. You will receive commercial email from the Admins and also Solo Ads from those who purchase them from Admin. We do not recommend you use free email services like Gmail or Yahoo. Those services route commercial email through bulk servers which slow delivery of email, sometimes even stop delivery! Email which cannot be delivered is "Bounced" back to the sending server which has major repercussions on servers and members alike.
Safelist Submitters:
A safelist submitter is a TOOL, a means of joining, managing and sending email to the members of many safelists. There are two types of submitters: web based and desktop. Desktop submitters require you download the software to your computer. Ads are sent from your ip. Web based submitters require you first join the submitter itself as a member. Ads are sent from that specific submitter's ip address. Each require that you set up a profile which you will then use to submit to the safelists listed in the database. You will use the Submitter to Auto Join the lists. As long as you used Pop3 Email accounts, you can then use the Auto Validation tools. After you have joined the safelists and validated your emails, you can set up Ads to submit to the safelists. Once you save an Ad, you can have the Submitter auto post your ads for you. This saves you time having to log into each safelist to post an ad.

FFA boards are free temporary link boards which offer a paid Pro Membership which then allows the members to email those who post to the boards. Join the listed FFA sites as a free member. Once you join these sites, Admin will verify your Xtream Membership. They will then upgrade you so you can access the mailer and the database. As a Pro FFA member you can send your email to the list once daily. Recommend you use a free email account like Gmail to join as a member of the sites listed. While you get very little email from Admin, what is sent is important, so you want to ensure you get the email.
Link Marketing Resources:
Pixel Pages:
Pixel Pages are permanent link boards. To post your link, you must join the page. There are 2 grids - one for Free Postings, another for Premium Postings. Join each page as a Free Member. Admin will upgrade you manually to Pro so you can post to the Premium section at no cost to you.

Reciprocal Linking:
Reciprocal linking is an effective way to increase your exposure in the Search Engines. A webmaster place your link on their website or blog, and in return you place their link on yours.

Safeadlists:
While originally promoted as a replacement for safelist marketing, these are actually text ad venues and fall into the Link Marketing catagory. Members join the site, then must view ads to access their membership back office. Then, they must view more ads to post one themselves. This process ensures that Member Ads are in fact viewed. Each time you view an ad, you receive credits. Credits are used to post your own ads. Most Safeadlists have an optional email service which members buy Solo Ads. There are two types of Safeadlists - Safeadlist and Master Safeadlist. Join these sites as a free member, Admin will upgrade your membership at each venue after verifying your Xtream Membership.

Master Safeadlist:
Traffic Exchanges are venues which send hits (also called traffic) to your websites. This is done by rotating website links through an onboard viewer. Members join a traffic exchange add their links and then 'surf' or view member websites. In exchange for this activity, the surfer receives credits which will enable their own sites to run in the surf bar. There are two are 2 types of surf: manual and auto. Manual Surf requires members click on something to move from site to site. Auto surf rotates sites in and out of the surf window automatically - no clicking required by the member. Both are usefull in your marketing for different reasons. Click on Manual Surf and Auto Surf for related articles.
