URL Rotators | 12 Second Commute | Jim Roche NJ- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

What Is... A URL Rotator?

And how does it work?

A URL rotator (sometimes known as page or link rotators) is a system where the same link or URL sends the visitor to different website addresses either in some rotation pattern or randomly. The service offered by URL rotators has several potential uses, particularly for those who are engaged in the work of marketing their services or products. In simple terms, a URL rotator is in charge of displaying a different web page whenever a person happens to click on your link. The URL rotator either randomly selects another URL or points to the next URL (meaning visitor A will see 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 etc as will visitor B) or the next in sequence across all visitors (meaning visitor A might see 1 then B sees 2 then A reloads and sees 3 and so on).. You submit this list of URLs to the company or person offering the rotator when you become a member of their site. The most common is that any visitor advances the sequence as the person using the rotator doesn't generally care who sees the individual sites in the sequence as long as they are all displayed equally This might be done so that one URL promotes different websites, e.g. where a group of people do a group 'co-op' advertising and they want to ensure the traffic is divided fairly and automatically.

What's the point?

In truth most people would have no legitimate use for a URL Rotator.

However, in the context of advertising, a rotator can be an extremely useful tool. Here are a few examples...

1 Single user promoting multiple sites

In this scenario, a user has a source or multiple sources of traffic that they point to their rotator. They can then customize very easily where that traffic goes. This is especially useful if they have multiple sources of traffic because they only have to change the sequence in the rotator and all the traffic from all the sources will be diverted accordingly.

2 Easily switch to promoting different sites

This is similar to the previous examples but the user again might have many traffic sources. By poining all those sources to one rotator, it's then very easy to switch from promoting site A to promoting site B.

E.g. An affiliate might abandon product A because a new product B is better with higher commissions and the marketer can instantly switch all the traffic to the new product.

Also, if product A disappears for some reason, it's much easier to just change the rotator to a new site then to have to go to all the different traffic sources changing their destination url.

3 An advertising co-op (Team Advertising)

An individual can set up an advertising co-op where members of his/her downline are invited to buy shares in an advertising pool. The organizer purchases traffic or advertising and points the traffic at the rotator. The rotator then displays the next website in sequence, ensuring that all the members of the co-op get their fair share of the traffic. It even lets people buy multiple shares in which case they have their URL in more than once and equal to the number of shares they bought.

It can also be used to divert different ratios of the traffic to different sites, e.g. 75% to site A and 25% to site B (include site A 3 times in the rotator setup and site B once).

The One that I Use

I have used many URL Rotators but the one I recommend most highly is the 12 Second Commute URL Rotator. That's largely because Darryl Graham and the trainers at the 12 Second Commute are knowledgable and committed to you success in your online marketing efforts.

Today I'm going to focus stricktly on the email autoresponders.

This is where you will create new messages and edit current messages for any of your autoresponder lists. You can also add letter templates and edit letter templates.

New Autoresponder Message: After you have setup your mailing list, one of the next steps is to create your actual email autoresponders. Remember that messages are list specific so if you have 10 different mailing lists, you can have 10 different autoresponder message series, although you can use the same messages in all your lists if you're promoting the same thing and you just want to test different advertising.

When you click on the new autoresponder message link, you will come to a page where you can fill in your messages, choose one of the ready made templates, setup your message delivery options, add attachments to your messages and basically get your messages ready to go make you money.

View/Edit Autoresponder: Once you have setup your email autoresponder messages, there might be times you want to edit and update those messages and the View/Edit feature allows you to easily accomplish this task. You can edit any part of your autoresponder from this one simple interface.

Add Letter Template: While you have access to dozens of fresh and professional letter templates in your autoresponder setup section, we also realize you might want to create your own and if you do, you click on the Add Letter Template link and use the editor to create your own professional looking templates.

View/Edit Letter Templates: Just as you can edit everything in all other parts of the email autoresponders, you also get this ability with your own templates that you have created. The View/Edit letter template is the place to go for this and all edits are done in real time so you never miss an opportunity.

You can review the entire 12 Second Commute system absolutely FREE for a full 30 days. There is NO credit card required to get your account and if you decide that 12SC is not for you, you simply cancel your account within 30 days or do nothing and it will delete for you after the 30th day.

There is no risk. If and when you're ready to upgrade, click on the Upgrade Options link next to the instructions link at the top of the page.

Special Addition The Email Report Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Some facts about email systems. Veretekk's Veremail email systems are significantly different than any other email systems offered on the Internet. To illustrate this, we must break the system down into it's basic parts.

The database:

All email systems must have a database; otherwise you don't have anyone to send email to. But building that database is what clearly sets Veremail apart from all the rest. Let's illustrate this. With Veretekk you have many systems at work to build your list. Starting with the Traffic Portals, Veretekk owns over 40 (and always growing) unique domains that offer real services and systems for free in exchange for the subscribers name, address, phone number, some with survey results and double optin email addresses. These are real services, not just easily disseminated content.

Traffic Portals

What are real services? Real leads delivered from real lead systems that Veretekk owns. Everyday unique email leads, date, name and IP addresses. Real submission services that others charge $100 for on a per yearly basis. Real technology submitting your subscribers ads across the Internet with real results. Real state of the art Live Web based conference rooms. Also known as webinars, for free, that challenge brand name services with free access, excellent sound quality, excellent recording quality and superior support. Real state of the art PDF free Vacation coupons that really do deliver free 3 day vacation packages. The list continues with real software, real websites, real daily quotes, real stuff, not just some free report. Stuff people are looking for. Already turnkey and ready to go to work for you with little to no effort, that is turnkey, which means you start building your email list right out of the gate.

Your own capture pages

An important feature you also get submission forms that you can put right into your websites. These are often referred to as CAMPAIGNS, we call them GROUPS, many other companies limit how many campaigns you can have, we don't.. These forms are customized to redirect to any website you wish and send any set off custom autoresponders you build when the subscriber verifies from submitting your form. Your forms have many options depending on how much information you wish to collect.

Sequential email autoresponders

Once your subscriber has verified they begin receiving your campaign autoresponders and are also added to your email broadcasting control panel. This panel has all your leads organized according to what type of lead they are. Your GROUPS (campaigns) show up as Veremail Groups and categorized according to the name you labeled that group as. The email broadcasting control panel (Bully Pulpit) allows you to send email to your groups all or sub sets on a daily basis.

Database email uploads

You have the ability to upload as many email addresses into your system in sets up to 10,000 per upload. You have the choice to use 20 verification template emails for these uploads, and when that prospective owner of that email verifies, you have the choice to have the system send them a set or series of autoresponders you produced and…you can also set the system to redirect to any website you wish.

Since you also have an incoming email web mail system (yourname@veretekk.com) any email being sent to your email addresse(s) (You have the ability to make unlimited email addresses) also go to your own Veretekk POP account as well as your web based email account in the email broadcasting system (The Bully Pulpit).

Your own email account

When you sign up for an email account like Gmail, Yahoo, Live, etc. you are getting a web based email account and an email address like yourname@gmail.com, right? You all understand this I am sure.

If you have online access with someone like Comcast, you have an email address like yourname@comcast.com and it is accessed through your Outlook or Eudora email software and is reffered to as a POP account. I am making sense so far right?

If you sign up for an autoresponder system from anyone but Veretekk, you need an outside email like Gmail or your Comcast account and this makes no sense whatsoever if you give it some thought. There are solid reasons why your autoresponder system should be a complete turnkey system that includes your own email address both web based and POP account.

Total Integration

First of all it completes the circuit of your system. Everything in one place. Second it assures continuity in regards to good email practices and validity. When you sign up for Veretekk your Veremail email system is your email system, not a third party as a return address.

As Matt Keith of Global Distribution Network says, ""With any internet email responding system, there will be many individuals, companies and lists that your email will be placed on when responding to your own offers and newsletters. For most, this is an annoying part of the business and process, but you can turn this into an asset for yourself and your business. If someone is sending you an email for an offer of their own, then you can be sure that they are looking to build their list or their bottom line. If you set your email service and business up to "reverse market" to these individuals with your services, especially a service that generates leads like Veretekk, you can be sure to get a response back and you will begin to build leads from junk mail.""

Further Mo Youngs ads, "An email account with Gmail or hotmail now days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email."

Then there is the Spam complaint. If you are using an autoresponder system that utilizes a third party email like Aweber does ie: yourname@yahoo.com, then you loose! Your email account gets terminated, period. When you use a system that integrates their own mail servers to give you your own unique email address with a web based and POP email account that company bears the brunt of that complaint, defends against it and you win! Your email address is not terminated. Your service continues and you are exonerated.

Frank Marshal experienced this when his primary health related distributorship, without notice, terminated his affiliate position because of a spam complaint. However, the email message was delivered through Veretekk's mail servers and with Veretekk's validated mail search system, Veretekk was able to prove Frank was innocent and restore his health distributorship account back to normal.

No other autoresponder system can offer this. Only Veretekk does this.

Deliverability of the message.

When you are shopping for an autoresponder system, you want to make sure that system has a long term reputation on the Internet. That they utilize good email practices. That they are vigilant and communicate with the various policing systems like SpamCop and interact with all the top ISP services out there.

You want to make sure they have massive server redundancy so you can rest assured that the email is sending out quickly and effectively. To test this I use my own email server that has Spam Assassin but does not filter. You are welcome to use this address to test. The email address is [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] the password is 12345.

Go ahead and use the email address to signup into one of your portals like http://jimrochenj.blastomatic.com

Then check for the email at http:mail2web.com. Enter the email address [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] and password to receive the email. Use a timer. It will be less than a second for mail delivery. WARNING: Not all email systems are equal.

I have set up the Spam Assassin on this account to display the spam score for anything above 0.1. Anything below 5.0 usually gets delivered. Anything below 4.0 is considered good. Anything below 2.0 is considered excellent. Anything below 1.0 is perfection. You will see Veretekk email is in the excellent to perfection range.

View the source of the email and the content.

Here is a typical spam report for a Veretekk reply autoresponder

X-Spam-Report:
* 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
* 0.0 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
* 0.5 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag
*- 0.4 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list <--NOTE we are on white lists THIS IS GOOD

Here are a few other samples:

Notice no Spam alert and the large notices of leads coming into my account

This is a typical header showing no issues with the email

Veretekk email delivers without issue to Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail as these illustrations show:

Gmail:

Yahoo

Hotmail

Bottom line summary:

The deliverability of Veremail is consistent and trustworthy. All email that Veretekk/Veremail sends is validated to be verified. You will never fear losing your email account, your web pages or being left alone to defend yourself against false spam accusations, period. No other autoresponder offers you this protection or level of personal service.

Veretekk/Veremail's Spam Assassin rating is well below 2.o and is usually at ZERO. Veretekk remains vigilant in keeping in communication with the Spam associations out there as well as the major ISPs to assure that Veretekk's Veremail is always delivered.

Veretekk does not raise your cost depending on how big your database gets. One low cost is guaranteed regardless as to no matter how large your mailing lists gets. Can all the other autoresponder systems out there guarantee that? No!

Veretekk / Veremail allows unlimited email address database uploads for verification to build your lists. UNLIMITED! No other autoresponder system out there offers this unlimited service.

Comments:

An email account with Gmail or hotmail now a days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email. Now I use Veretekk!
Mo Youngs

About 4 years ago my ISP shut down my email account with out notice after receiving a false spam complaint. It took me two weeks to convince them that the person had subscribed to my mailing system Group mail 5 and all my email had a method of self-removal.

When my account was cleared they gave me a new email address but I never got access to my old email address, which was most inconvenient. Now I use Veretekk!
David Ogden

I was shut down by my ISP about 7 years ago - even though I considered my list to be 'clean'. more recently my current ISP stopped me sending emails via a proprietary email software I've been using for 9 years because they claimed the 600 + emails I sent "Slowed their system down". They still do not allow me to send by that method. Now I use Veretekk!
