Making the Most of Online Classified Ads

 Classified ad marketing is similar to placing ads in the newspaper, though online ads will often provide you with more space at no cost. Craigslist.org and Backpage.com are two classified ad websites that provide maximum traffic, the ability to style you ad with HTML, and embed live links to your website.

Making the Most of Online Classified Ads

Ad postings on both of the following classified ad websites are community monitored, and community members are sensitive to business advertising. If you place your ad in the wrong section, or come across in the wrong way, your ad will be flagged or deleted. If it happens too many times, you may find yourself banned from the site. As a best practice, always link to a free information page rather than a sales page, and focus your ad on the information you are offering rather than your product. You'll be much better off.

Craigslist

Craigslist.org was started by Craig Newmark in 1995 as an email list of events in San Francisco, CA. Today you can find just about anything on Craigslist including job postings, garage sale items and services in your area. With approximately 20 billion page views per month, this website serves as a vitally important means of advertising for many companies. It could work for you too.

Backpage

With million of new postings each month, there's a lot going on at Backpage.com. Like Craigslist.org, it a place to connect people that need stuff with people that have stuff.

To make the most of online classified ads, you will need to:

Write Compelling Titles. Headlines are the gateway to your ad. If they aren't well written, people will never see your ad. Try creating 3-4 variations on the same title to test which one works the best.

Classified Ad Title I: "Lemon Spray Anti-Bark Collar - End Excessive Barking Forever"

or

Classified Ad Title II: "Stop Barking Forever - Advice from a Trusted Trainer"

Identify a problem. Begin with a question.

Question: "Is your dog barking too much?"

Provide a solution. Promise your potential customer that they will find just what they need if they will only click the link that you have provided.

Using Classified Ads

Image
 Local ads are a great way for anyone to use in order to get rid of something, announce something that may be happening, or just promote a business or product. There are many options for a person to choose from. For those that are announcing an item that they have for sale, or perhaps they are announcing the fact that they are holding a yard sale, then the use of free classifieds is a great way to get the message across without having to spend money to do this. These free classifieds are usually found in the local paper and are going to be something that people are going to look through when they are reading the paper. This is also an option for those that have businesses and are trying to get more business, though they may find that a free classified is not going to work as well as the business classifieds that someone can purchase. The business classifieds are going to allow for the person to use the amount of space that they need, whether it be a block of space to announce a new...

Is There a Safety Issue With Free Online Classified Ads?

Image
 If you are old enough to remember life as an adult before the internet, you have observed the fast-moving whirlwind surrounding the age of technology. Not that long ago, classified advertising was only available in the now almost obsolete newspaper delivered to your door, rain or shine. It was not unusual to taste a little ink with your toast, as you enjoyed your breakfast. Well, free online classified ads have sure altered that picture. You probably get to eat that toast without the ink, sitting in front of your computer, checking out listings in one of many sites online; if you use your favorite search engine you will be amazed at how many places allow you to advertise, at no cost. One issue that seems to stop some from using free online classifieds is that of safety, from the viewpoint of placing ads or answering them. For some, probably inspired mostly by hyped-up news stories, the internet can be a very dangerous arena. Yes, things do happen with security and identity via the...
