Changing Nature of Internet Marketing

One thing that has become somewhat obselete as far as Internet Marketing goes is 'Safelists'. Back about 5 or so years ago, everybody was using them, sending out emails to thousands of people in the group. It got to the point where if you were a member of a safelist or two, you would receive hundreds of emails from people daily. The problem was that all these people were trying to market to each other; fellow marketers. About this time they lost their effectiveness, and with the additional Spam laws put in place, you don't see Safelists being used as much these days.
