How To Start With Classified Ads:
How To Start With Classified Ads:
Step 1:
Make a list of the sites to submit to.
CraigsList is the biggest, but here are a few others you should try too:
Yahoo Classifieds
Kaboo.org
Gumtree.com
Usfreeads.com
My Space Classifieds
Yellow Pages
Warrior Forum
And Google Classified Ads in your niche.
Visit these sites and look in the section suitable for your niche.
Step 2.
Write A Short Ad
All you need is a compelling title and (if there’s room) some exciting text. Spend a while looking at the
ad’s on Craigs List to get some ideas (you’ll see a lot of BAD ads too!)
All you are aiming for – is to get a visitor to click on your ad – that’s all! Doing so – they will be taken
to your site. This is the one and only aim of a classified ad – to drive more traffic to your site.
Note how I try and make them as eye catching as possible.
You can also place IMAGE ads on Craigs List – but someone will only see the image if they click on the
headline first. So you need to make the headline as exciting as possible (as I've attempted to do above).
If you have tracking software installed on your website (such as Google Analytics) you can track
individual traffic sources. It's quite an amzing feeling to place an ad on Craigs List - in (lets say) London
- and then 24 hours later be able to see that 30 people have come to your site because of this ad.
