I have written about online classified ads in other articles. I am realy sold on one particular Free Online Classified Site. I have been using them for over 2 years and have tremendous success. Webmasters can promote almost anything. Blogs to Niche Sites.
Not only is using Internet Classifieds for backlinks a good idea, but you can make conversions / sales.
The Classified Service I use is USFreeAds. They have been providing high traffic, high response Free Classifieds since 1999.
Google loves USFreeAds. Why because they have been around forever as far as Internet age go’s. They also have a Page Rank of 5 in Google.
Using USFreeAds for SEO and SEM:
When I first put up a Niche Site and feel it is ready to go live I use UFA to get the sites first incoming links.
Writing a search engine friendly ad is critical. Write a detailed description of the niche product using keywords and Keyword Anchor Text to internal pages. Proceed as though you are writing a web page you want to score strong with search engines. Use basic SEO strategies like high ranking keywords in the title.
Use lots of photos hosted on your server like HostGator. Make sure you fill in all the fields in the ad photo tool. The URL of the picture, the description and tags. This gives the photos SEO for the page.
Use H1 and H2 Title Tags. Your Title will already have the H1 tag attached to it by the editor but it is a good idea to start the paragraphs with a H2 keyword anchor text title.
Try to remember the why you write ads is what determines the traffic to that page or ad. Follow Google Webmaster Guidelines and you will see the benefits of classified site that have good ranking.
A benefit to USFreeAd pages is they show up on search engines fast because they are always updating and SE’s crawl lots. This has been shown to generate sales for me.
If you need to make money fast. Some times this works and sometimes it doesn’t. Find affiliates that allow deep linking or direct linking from other sites that you do not own. Example ePN does not allow affiliates to link directly to eBay from sites like Twitter or craigslist. You can lose your account. But affiliate networks like Pepper Jam and Incent Rewards have vendors who encourage deep linking.
Write a article with good keyword density and link directly back to the vendors landing page. Then use the feature application to put the ad in the feature ad section. It cost a little cash but has been beneficial for me. I tend to make lots of these types of ads around holidays. Its a good why to target last minute buyer.
USFreeAds has a free membership and a premium membership which I use. The premium has many benefits the the free one does, but the cost of $9.95 a month is worth every penny. I suggest using the free service and get to know the site then upgrade once you see the differances in membership.
