Ezines can be a great source of information - if you are subscribed to those that actually cater content, not just ads. Ezines
are great places to advertise in, as long as there is a reader base which is reading the issues. Look over the
ezines before advertising - are they of good quality, or mainly full of ads, or full of bad grammar,
or contain articles that everyone else is
publishing? Chances are that people are not reading the ezines unless it has good, fresh content that is
helpful.
Many ezines have quit publishing because of the spam concerns. I have begun to keep my ezine issues online only, and
plan to only notify readers when a new issue is ready. It's too risky to continue to send out ezines with the number of
people who report them as spam - for almost any reason.

Check out these ezine directories for lists of ezines in categories you can target in your
advertising (or just for reading). Your ads are much more likely to be responded to if they are sent out
in ezines which are of a similar or supportive subject category.
The Directory of Ezines - this is one
of the best and original directories, including advertising information, plus member discounts. Lists all kinds of ezines, any topic.

The best way to advertise in ezines is to find the ones that are targeted to
your offer, or at least would have some sort of relationship - like a computer
optimization ezine might have an audience for sales of computers. Find those
that have GOOD content, original, and only a handful of ads. When people have
to sift through a lot of ads to find content, there is no point in being one
of the ads that is skipped over. Advertise in a top sponsor position or a
bottom sponsor ad position, or in the middle of a good article. Don't bother with "classifieds" - they are glossed
over pretty quickly if they are read at all, unless there are only 1-3 classified ads (in
which case you might do better). Solo ads are quite effective, if they are
done well - showing your headline (which had better be good) as the subject, and
and perhaps having some type of enticement for the readers to read the ad, as long as the ezine
is not considered spam as it can get your site shut down with complaints about the ad.
