Safelist Pirate

[Matt Koshko]

Just this week news has been spreading about something called "Safelist Pirate". One might think it's a safelist where you can advertise, but it's nothing of the sort.

 

Taken directly from a website: "Safelist Pirate is the software package automates everything. From reading the e-mail, observation the ad, and filling out the captcha. affirmative that’s right – we tend to got our own captcha technology integrated with this software package. this implies folks don’t have to be compelled to purchase credits with their captcha breaker account. The workers is incredibly responsive, therefore if a secure list web site has modified we tend to update the software package."

 

Now you may be thinking "Sweet, I can automate my advertising and reach thousands without lifting a finger!". Let me explain...if you're advertising to people who are not reading your messages, and instead those people are using automated software to read your ads, what value does it have to you? It means that advertising is worth little to nothing, rendering the entire process as useless.

 

If you're a safelist owner it is recommended to ban safelistpirate.com from your site. Also, don't bother going to the website for the software - there are concerns of malicious scripts encoded on the website, and you're probably opening up more risks downloading the software to your computer.

Thank you Matt for that info. I won't waste my time going there to advertise if no one is going to be reading my mails.

[Kojo Acquah]

Thanks for the info.

But I must admit I really don't understand why people would even consider using something that's clearly "cheating".

I have seen a lot of things in my life but to just go out and rip people off is not one of those I am use to .One day we will have to stand in front of our creader and we will have to answer for every thing we did in life.I try to treat every one the same way as I would want them to treat me. No I am not a saint by no means . I am only human. But when you know you are hurting others to get a head in life there is no excuse for it .

Somebody who use the automate software is not interested by the value of the ads, just to take credits and to send another ad to others. But, keep your eyes and mind open, there are other that make the same thing, and in this case our ads don't have any value!

Thanks Matt  for the info.

[Angela Smith]

Thanks Matt for this info.

Good to see this site is checking out the dodgy sites.

 

Thanks

A lot of this same safelist pirating buzz entered inbox last week,

just sounded too 'hype' to being interested!

[Phyllis Wolfe]

I wondered about this program myself when I read about it.  My thoughts were, "So no one is going to have to read ads anymore so what is the point."

Thanks for sharing this information.  It is nice to know about the scam sites!

[Matt Koshko]

Exactly, Phyllis. The point of it is for the creator to sell for his own gain, he doesn't care about the degrading of value his tool promotes.

I don't intend to offend nobody,but Most of  this member TE are trying to sell  the same useless RUBBISH,and i mean sell. Not many if any people join to buy ,every body joins to sell so they can earn money,and i doubt anybody ,beside the site owner, makes any money.What bothers me is you don't know whom to trust anymore.This web sites what offer easy way out just prove Google's point,

what is :traffic exchanges generate only junk traffic and the traffic is misleading. 

[Ralph Phillips]

Everyone who joins a safelist, a viral mailer, traffic exchange or text ad exchange, joins for one purpose only, to make money.

 

Many of these programs offer upgrades where those who can afford the top ones receive no emails from the members who

 

can't afford the top upgrades or didn't take them. So if they're not reading our ads, they're not going to buy from us but they

 

want us to buy from them. We are always quick to criticise if what others are doing isn't pleasing to us.

 

Everyday people are tricked and scammed on the internet legally as well as illegally but no one cries foul if it's friend or

 

family because everyone wants to make money. Don't you think? People are always looking for ways to be more efficient. I

 

learned to surf fast and click for credits fast from a number of people. And I'm sure I'm a lot slower than thousands who

 

learnt to do these things before me. Over the years in my life, I've learnt that people always find a reason to justify what they

 

did, are doing or want to do. It never ends.  

[randimarie]

Thanks for the information.

[Steve Man]

Wow ! Matt well done for uncovering what looks like a good bit of kit but is in fact useless

[successful1]

I used to get emails promoting this product many months back, but even then I never considered using it simply because something about it didn't feel right.

 

Yes, making money is what we all strive to do but at what cost? I myself don't want to compromise, even in the little things cause someday it may lead to bigger compromises.

[rpsmith]

Thanks for the info.

But I must admit I really don't understand why people would even consider using something that's clearly "cheating".

The reason people do it is because they want to do things the easy way, even if it means cheating to do it. I have heard of such softwares. As for the malicious viruses, etc o the site itself, that should be a red flag in itself and reason enough to avoid them like the plague. I have heard of this site, but didn't really pay it much attention. I was like the originator of this post and thought it was a safelist. Now I know better.

Thanks.

[wordsmatter2me]

I like learning the information. Yet, can I say most website owners ban or prohibit this type of software?

[John Lederer]

I may be wrong...but I think they got SHUT down...

[reynoldsa]

Thank you Matt for that info. Very good and important fact so you dont loss your money.

 

[Rafael d Jesus Ferreras Castillo]

This is a old post, but i remember when i first time see that site, i new that is was cheating and is not going to provide value to the safelist arena (They now close door)

[Guest Clare Johnson]

I haven't come across this one but thanks for the heads up!

[Jordan Stark]

I totally understand Matt's point of view but such a concern is predicated upon the possibility of many safest users using Safest pirate. However, there have only been a few thousand sales (less than 5,000). That's not enough users to put a dent in anything or saturate the safest market with crap traffic. I don't see a cause for concern. You can't block software that functions like safest pirate does.

[Francisc Mos]

I have 5 email add. and on every one of this emails, i receive on average 5000 emails a week.So I got a  better idea than cheat I started using trackers and the safe mailers that don't perform or don't let me use trackers I get unsubscribed from.There are hundreds if not thousands of these safe mailers and most of them are useless.There are good ones you just have to find them.And I don't mind opening emails if I know my emails will be opened too.
