5 Tips to Get the Most from Online Classifieds

Classified ads are a very resourceful business website tool and here are some tips to use this resource to your advantage.

1. Begin by choosing a relevant Category in which to place your ad.  Decide which subcategories also work. In most cases sites have a maximum number of categories to which you can submit (for free) which can be anywhere from 3 to 10.  

2. Check grammar and spelling.  If your ad is sloppy or full of mistakes, chances are no one will take action.

3. Create a cheat-sheet of page descriptions for each main page on your site. This will come in handy when crafting your message, responding to inquiries and other follow up.

4. Google your topic/niche to start collecting a database of sites that offer advertising.  These can include directory sites, article banks, blogs, resource portals and more.

5. Review your ads often (weekly or bi-weekly) to make sure they are “working for you.” If you are not pulling in any results (check your stats) then you know it’s time to either loose the ad or rewrite it.
