In the long-term, it's my hope that this site will help to solve the recurring problem that many ezine publishers have when they want to seek JV partners or if they want to buy low-cost ezine advertising on related niche ezines. The big search engines don't do a very good job at helping Ezine publishers identify other ezine publishers and BestEzines.com will help to solve that need as it scales in size. Janice,

It's hard for me to believe that someone would be outwardly looking to get MORE email! I've been hearing a lot lately that people are more likely to subscribe to a blog feed than to an ezine, and getting regular traffic to your site. I believe it would be easier for someone looking for info (like for what I provide -- dating & relationship advice) to do a Google search on the topic, rather than a search asking for "ezine directories." And depending on your response, I'd also like to know the benefit of submitting my ezine to additional ezine directories.

Please resubmit. We did reject a few that were already in the site as BestEzines.com is a "one listing per ezine per life" type of site unlike EzineArticles.com where you can submit as many articles as you'd like (assuming your membership is in good standing). Louie,

Surfing your site, I see you do have one. Yes, please resubmit and we'll watch for it this week to make sure it gets accepted. Our editors had a high threshold for BestEzines and we didn't consider any ezine publisher as 'serious' if they didn't have a website up or archive of their past email newsletter issues or articles. We've lowered the threshold, but still require that you at least have a website URL where a person can subscribe to. Be sure to include that in the "Ezine Subscription Info" section. I can see that we'll need to include more instructions and perhaps a video or audio tutorial on this and that's been added to our whiteboard todo list. Keith,

Should I re-send it? Thanks, Keith......

Now then I take 75 online newsletters from many industries. And they are all tops. Aviation, Automotive, Science, Environment, Industry, etc. Yet only four are listed. It would seem that it would make sense to be more proactive with this sister site. Also it makes sense to actively go out and seek all these awesome Ezines to benefit subscribers. Also recently you mentioned that older sites should have Adsense or be monetarized? So, when giving this advice and then looking at your site here, it appears that you will now have to monetarize this site some more and add Click Ads too. After all a Six Year Old site will spider well in the search engines right? Wow, what a great service indeed. Now then I take 75 online newsletters from many industries. And they are all tops.
