Free Classified Ads Advertising

[NatFree]

Hi,
Dear experts, what do you think about promoting a website by placing free classified ads?
I know that there is special software, but I've heard an opinion that the best way is to place ads manually. But it takes so much time. I have 8-10 hits to my site daily from free ads.
Does anybody use this type of promotion?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi and welcome to WPW, the problem of going down that route is that you will end up with a cluttered site. Your first duty with any site is Content that will induce potential clients to want to stay and buy, not to say ' Oh Lord more adverts'and click off.
There are no shortcuts in our industry that will produce long term results.

Free Classified ad sites will get you some exposure, and if you are getting 8-10 hits from an ad, what's the conversion rate? If you get conversions from the site, then it's worth the time to post.

and if you are getting 8-10 hits from an ad

Not from an ad, but 8-10 hits a day to my site from Free Classified sites. But conversion rate is low and I feel sometimes like wasting my time.

Let's get this clear. you are posting on free ad sites to direct traffic to your own site?. . Thats O.K. this is virtually a link to your site. no harm in that. Listing the ads by hand is good... getting a program to do it would be a bit spammy..

But this should be just one method of about 500 that you should be using, You are probably not wasting your time. . You just might not yet realise just how much time you need to spend, these things build up slowly. . Keep on plodding!

You should also concentrate to other area as well register on every search engine as well different directories and you should have good, desciptive titles and meta tags for Google.
