    OMG....

    its been 48 hours now and still no hops after 50 views.... doesn't someone want to buy the product

    maybe its my sales copy
    maybe its that i have only 1 advert
    maybe its just the product

    i dont know but i was expecting a few hops at least by now

    http://www.usfreeads.com/1388975-cls.html

    there is my article
    i am going to work on a squidoo lense now and then work on a lil site with the 700 to 1000 word sales copy.

    however is it just because i dont have these things done yet or what?

    shall i submit another copy of that article to usfreeads but under a diff section?

    please help people its annoying me :(

    I guess people don't want to click. I'm not really sure what sort of traffic us free ads get, but maybe they're not receptive to the sales letter. Maybe they're looking for something more like a genuine classified ad (like on craigslist).

    I haven't used this type of service, so there isn't much more I can offer to you.

    Since you have a paid membership to usfreeads,
    althought quality is important, in this case I must say the key is quantity,

    Post a lot of ads.
    Choose different niches,
    For example, choose 20 niches,
    post one ad for for each niche, totalling 20 ads.

    Some niches will work better, some won't, the one who do work well, post more ads about them.

    You cannot expect miracles to happen from just one ad, you need to post.. more .. more.. and more

    Hi,

    It doesn't look like you have any links there. You need a link that points to your affiliate page so someone can click on it. For example in these signatures you can click on the link and it takes you to a new webpage.

    If you would like free help, check out my signature

    Thanks

    Exactly.

    USFreeAds and Craiglist is not really the suitable place for Affiliate marketing.

    Yes, USFA may rank well, but I would rather go for Squidoo or Blogger, because traffic is different there.

    Why not try promoting something that is more broad - for example something that will appeal to a larger audience, like that water4gas crap or earth4energy etc etc -- honestly i bet the majority of people who see that ad don't even know (or care) who Ewen Chia is

    I still use Usfreeads as a premium member and I promote some converting products as featured ads which get a decent amount of traffic. You have no hope just promoting one product on Usfreeads.

    Personally I use usfreeads as another opportunity to make a sale, make free blogs at blogger.com and submit articles to the major sites or use a submitter. Squidoo lenses, hubpages, try bum marketing in time, you have a long way to go but gl

    The making money niche is completely saturated. You need to pick something else to see a profit come in.

    Dont quit instantly. Try to promote product differently.Tweak landing page, make it more reliable and use call to action method. Hope this will help..

    Don't give up in just 48 hours. If you're not going to persevere and try different methods, you will never succeed. USFA doesn't convert? Try Video marketing, submit articles to EA, make Squidoo lenses and Hubpages etc.

    Also, you should cloak your affiliate link, you'd get a lot more hops that way ;)

    Good luck!

    Well cloaking the affiliate link could be something as simple such as using TinyURL or even buying your own domain name and redirecting it to your affiliate. A lot more people will click something like PlugandPlayIncome.com (which redirects to your affiliate link) instead of something like lewi24.autopilotp.hop.clickbank.net

    Some methods of cloaking can also modify the referrer, so you don't risk the owner of the product stealing your high-converting landing pages.
