    Last week I've been posting on some classified ads but the views were so bad it only had 5 views for a week. Anyone here knows how to increase views on classified ads? I'm posting on craigslists. Many thanks

    Hey Matt...

    It's my understanding that most people either love or hate classifieds. One of the problems that I see in my area with craigslist is that I can post an ad today and be somewhere near the top of the first page but by tomorrow I'm on page 2-4 because so many people are posting there. So you have to post another ad to stay close to the top on a regular basis. Here's some other things that might help. You want to use strong headlines. Keep your ad copy focused on the benefits to the customer/buyer/prospect. I usually focus on lead generation rather than the sale. Give them a great reason to respond or strong call to action. go here for Free video on how to do this or save money by doing this. Give them a secondary reason for response. Then once you have their contact info you can market to them directly. Don't forget to use photo's in your ad. Hope this helps!

    It really depends on the title of your ad and the subject matter. If your ad looks like its going to be spam, people will most likely ignore it. You have to have an interesting title and grab their attention. Most people on CL are price shoppers, so mentiong low price usually grabs attention.
