I having touble in marketing because lack of money.What cheap marketing is suitable for classified website...thank you. celebrating 2nd natal----www.freeads.com.my
Well, marketing your website would help a bit but so would a little bit better ad placement. I would get rid of that very lower left box of ads and try to integrate them into your center area of content. Perhaps right above the start of the list of items. I am sure others would have great ideas here as well. If you are only getting 20-30 visits per day then yeah, I would say that's going to be the biggest factor. Get those visitors coming in and you will start making more.
Use adlinks at the top of the page not at the bottom, and place that big rectangle ad the top too..there's nothing to search there down leftside
Your ad placement is the biggest thing. Move it to the top where people will actually see it. On my sites I tend to put a 100-125px high image as the title image and then left and right navigation (left moves around the site, right is links out of the site) and AdSense in the middle with the large rectangle. Works rather well. That organization puts the ads square in the front of the eyes of visitors when they load the page. And yes, the other problem is lack of visitors. At 5% click thru you're looking at about 1 visitor clicking per day on an ad. That would have to be one very expensive ad to make any decent amount of money. You need to advertise your services on related newsgroups, etc.
Increasing your traffic is the primary goal here. 20-30 a day is simply not enough. Are we talking about impressions here or unique visitors?
Thank all. I will change the bottom ads and move it to top. Submit more links to directory can increase my page rank????
I get over 1000 uniques daily to one of my sites and I am happy if I make $5. 20-30 uniques and $0.30, you have nothing to complain about Work on getting more traffic, optimize your pages for keywords, etc.
Mortal....1000 uniques daily is a great........ How to get more traffic??I have been submit to directory,classified....but the traffiic is still low. About the keywords....is it good to use keyword generator???how many keyword i need to put into meta tags??is it as many as possible??? thank
One thing you can instantly improve on is the top of your page. At the moment I see the flash logo/banner located top-right of you page. To me this looks like an advertising banner rather than a logo. Personally I would remove this banner and replace it with an AdSense half banner. The image you have to the left is fine as well as its description "Malaysia's Free Online Classified" Although unproven in my book, I would also try a horizontal link unit above or below your main horizontal menu. With a bit of blending you may be successful.
Nice to see a Malaysian website. Get more traffic by placing ads in the local papers, The Star, The Sun, etc. Having your Adsense ads almost hidden is a bad placement because you don't expect your visitors to look for them. KalvinB wrote "Move it to the top where people will actually see it". That is an excellent suggestion.
ainmohd---the star,the sun is expensive....i don't have too much money for it. Do you ever advertise in the sun???What its cost??how is the effect?? I thinking of print the car sticker...how is your opinion??? Dukeboxx---"Malaysia's Free Online Classified" is good??i just add it y'day. I will consider to remove the flash banner but it is my 'classic' banner.Its like my symbol of my website..I love it so much....may be i will put in another place...thank you for ur suggestions.
Noob_King - congrats on a very nice-looking website. But I guess you have received a lot of advice on further improving it, and I have nothing more to add, except to work at getting more visitors (maybe place a home-made sign along a road where there's a traffic jam every morning - seriously - there's a Malaysian car site that placed a simple wooden sign near the entrance to a petrol station - grabs my attention every time). I've placed my first ad at your site (The Nikon D200 thingy) - quite a fun and smooth process. Would you mind sharing how you developed the site - what tools did you use?
One more piece of advice - is it possible for you to modify the URL? Instead of http://www.freeads.com.my/index.php?a=2&b=1196 for example, you'll get better and more-targetted Google ads if you can have the URL take on the title of the ad, eg http://www.freeads.com.my/nikon-tc-e3ed-telephoto-converter
