You've probably seen a lot of these text and solo advertising sites popping up all over the place. The premise here is that you read text, website, and solo email advertisements earning points, and then you can buy advertising that goes to the membership of the text ad site. Actually it is a pretty good idea and seems to be a little more effective than traffic exchanges, especially the solo email advertisements. The trick here is to join a site that has a decent sized membership, and because there are so many of them it can be tough to know which ones to join.
I've been using a few of them for a while now that produce results. One word of warning they do generate a fair amount of email from each text ad exchange you are a member of. Usually around 20 solo ads per day, so if you are a member of 5 of them expect about 100 solo email ads that you need to click on to view their advertisement, thus earning points for you to spend later.
Regardless of if the site calls itself a text ad site or an email site the basic principal is the same; read the ads and get cash or points to spend on advertising. The only really discernible difference is the text ad sites also let you click on ads on their site, much like a traffic exchange.
Here are my favorites:
ListJoe - This one produces results and will fill your inbox with advertisements, free members can build up 1000 points in about a week.
List Auction - A email program, that is very similar to ListJoe (Highly Recommended)
Solo Ads Only - Don't let the name fool you; they have text links and html ads in addition to solo email advertising. This is a very good program with nice promotional tools and lots of other useful stuff to help you advertise your business.
Adz Quik! - Very similar to Solo Ads Only, very cool and easy to build up points to send your own solo ads.
Cash Solos - Another really great text ad exchange, easy to build up a lot of points.
I use all 5 of these and a couple more, but again if you signup you need to read the emails to build up points and it will take some time, so don't go overboard unless you have the time to invest.
