Hey guys, Has anyone used usfreeads.com? I just got their premium account as it was recommended in Bum Marketing... Any tips and tricks would be great...
I've been using it a while (i'm a gold member I think, or the cheapest option). I haven't actually had much luck with it so far though. Heard it was good for SEO purposes when there weren't many other competitors, but haven't had much luck with that yet.
I have tried it but only made 1 sale from USFreeAds Get into Squidoo instead. Usfreeads just looks like spam when someone hits it from search results, squidoo doesn't. Additionally, USFreeads does not rank as well as some say (or it used to). My opinions anyway.
Hmm... Did you have the premium account? Also how many ads did you post for that one sale? I would be interested in your answers.
Yeah, I have the premium account, but will drop before the next months payment comes in. I only put up 3 classifieds, and only attempted to promote 1 of them. But I dont tend to adopt the standard bum technique of trying to get alot of these things up, but see it as more important as to how you promote the few you do put up. I only started on squidoo a week and a bit ago, but am already seeing more promising signs from this. The way I see it is these sites are only usefull in terms of the authority they carry in google. If not for that, you are much better putting your time on your own domains. That way you are not compting with thier own google ads and other leaks on the page. In terms of authority in google, from my experiments, USFreeads just did not seem to carry the weight any more, but squidoo is really showing some promising signs. I am judging less from sales but more from observed impact of the pages in the serps. Additionally, when a user sees a big USFreeAds at the top of the page after a search, I don't think it will enspire confidence in them. It just reaks "I want your money". However on squidoo, you can really look like your trying to inform them. I'm sure others who do things differently to me would have success with this, as I am new to IM. But this is how I am seeing it at the moment.
Interesting... I am wondering how guys that have put loads of these adds out have down. Does quantity beat quality on usfreeads.com?
How long have you had them up? Especially want to know about the one that made the sale? Also I have started an experiment thread at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=750229
I'm on the USFreeAds "free" account....which is basically useless coz you can't put in a link.... When I found out this..I was like.....bye-bye USFreeAds.... Personally, I will not invest my money in USFreeAds...coz I don't see much potential and theres too much work for not much results.... And I aint a great fan of 'bum marketing' either... Well thats just my opinion...
I'm a one-man show....so i don't have much time....and I rather use a ppc.... Next, it converts very very slowly.... Then, I'm the type of guy...who wants results NOW!!
USfreeads does still work. I use it consistently. I do believe that both quality and quantity work I make pretty consistent sales from it and Yes, I do have alot of ads Long tailed Keywords work best (ones with less than 5000 searchs a month) Use Googles Keyword tool to find the keywords As for squidoo, I just started that about a month ago. (which is what the one week marketing plan focuses on) It was written by a lady who started her internet business in February 2007 and does very, very well (she uses mostly squidoo) She is awesome and extremely helpful and honest
