Simple
It is simple, if you know what is really going on. Everybody who is on these lists, also known as safe lists, knows that they will be receiving emails from other members. This is possible because that is one of the conditions of their "safe list" membership.And those who join these lists are willing to agree to this condition because they themselves would want to send out their own commercial emails to the others on the list.
The result
Everyone is sending emails to each other but no one is reading them!It gets worse when some savvy members sign up for the membership using a free or less-frequently-used account to store the useless emails they will never bother to open and read.
Having said that, it is always wiser to start your own mailing list and build it with opt-in subscribers, no matter how tempting safe lists can be or how many members there are in a safe list.

Viral Marketing ebooks Vs My other lenses
The beauty of ebooks is that they take obvious or freely available information and put it all in one package, minus the junk, and you get to download it all in one go. You get ALL the info you need.
But! You CAN get all that information from my other lenses! If you love ebooks, go for the ones below. If you wanna read more by me, click the Skills Group link at the end of this page!

Conclusion
Safe Lists are junk. Don't bother. Build your own list, and start from there. You'd get a better response emailing 100 people who have asked for information from you than you emailing 10,000,000 on a safe list.Aweber is the one I'd recommend. The site to build your own mailing list. Check them out.
The autoresponder I use:
- The Most Trusted and Reliable Autoresponder. Dirt cheap too.
