Has anyone tried online classified ads, like from newspaper websites that have free online listings or paid ones too and how effective were they for your online marketing purposes? Did they give a good boost in rankings? Did they give good click though traffic? What newspaper sites worked good ones for you? Anybody have a good list of classified ad sites? Anyone does this service, online classified ad submissions, just like what raj and sunil does for directory submissions? Any kind of input will be greatly appreciated.
Someone sent me a PM saying I try out http://boostviews.com/ for classified ads submissions, has anyone tried their service?
classified ads are i doubt as effective as link directories are.. i tried a few, but dropped the idea!
Hi friends! Many online classifieds are using nofollow tag.... As you know, this tag no pass PR.. Best regards, Jakomo
Boost in rankings? Not really, classified posts would end up ranking higher than your site. Traffic, yeah, tried to post some and I get 3x the traffic These are one of the classifieds I posted before: craigslist.org classifiedsforfree.com classifieds.yahoo.com gumtree.com adoos.com PHP:
I have had lots of luck with offline classified ads in newspapers like little nickel, thrifty papers, and related industry newpapers are great if you can find one that relates to your sites topic. Often times they have a free classified ad's at certain times of the year so you can try the ad for free once and if it goes good then continue as a paid ad.
Just remember, PR is only a way to try to get to the top of the serps, which in turn translates to traffic. Offline ads may not fix PR, but they generate *direct* traffic. Traffic converts, PR doesn't.
Online classified can give traffic but not much. I think if you can put your targeted keywords on top of search engine it can boost your traffic and get more targeted visitors on your site. Some forums related to your site can also give you traffic.
Classified ads brings you traffic but it'll depend how much traffic it'll bring from your post and from which site you post it...not all classified ads bring such traffic only some of them like gumtree.com and craigslist.org....social bookmarkings will gave you a lot of traffic...but classified ads and social bookmarking will not give you any help in regards with PR...
I have been experimenting with Craigslist and it seems to give me a little boost in traffic/adsense, and affiliate sales...not huge, but noticeable.
hi benj. i think classifieds can only help for more traffic (but this is not always true). in my case, if for PR purposes, they're not of help.
