Download Your FREE Classified Ad Traffic Generation Checklist (Part 9 of 21)
While the word “easy” is used rather loosely these days to peddle products, there are some things that are truly just flat out easy.
..and placing online classified ads to generate website traffic is one of them.
There are actually three benefits from placing classified ads online.
- Direct traffic from your classified ads.
- Links back to your site from your classified ads.
- Page 1 & 2 Search engine positions. (Yep! This too.)
Okay so maybe your scratching your head trying to figure out how you can get page 1 & 2 search engine positions from placing classified ads.
You’re basic using a different backdoor and standing on the shoulders of the classified ad sites.
So, I’ll give you the short explanation and then the simple 5 steps to making it happen.
The classified sites that I’m going to recommend you start with are also authority sites and with a properly done “article ad” you can have your classified ad appearing on page 1 & 2 of Google… quickly. I’ve seen it happen in less than 5 hours using the 5 steps below.
How do you do it?
Simple.
- Write a short version of your and a long version (long version being 350 words or so, use your primary keyword).
- Post both the short version and long version.
- Grab the direct url link to the long version of your ad.
- Ping that long version classified ad url at www.Pingler.com.
- Social bookmark that same url using your favorite social bookmarking website or program.
That’s it… watch the results.
Speaking of results, the results will vary from ad to ad, market to market, and keyword to keyword.
However following the above 5 steps when placing online classified ads will juice them up in a major way.
A side by side comparison shows more traffic to classified ads following the 5 step process above, then those placed without it.
Of course you can do your own test and see which works better for you and decide which route to go.
All things being consider you must have a compelling ad.
So, whatever your route, I suggest you get to it.

Hi Stephen,
Powerful stuff!
Here you are killing two birds with one stone… Direct traffic from the classified ad and high ranking in Search Engines.
The second one is easier because when you ping the URL of your ad lot of Search Engines are notified and when you social bookmark it you get lot of links pointing back to your site.
But in order to get direct traffic from your ad you need a powerful and compelling ad. The headline is the most important thing here and it does the 80% of the work.
So it is crucial to write lot of headlines and narrow them down… You never run with the first headline that comes to your mind.
Run the same ad with different headlines to see which one is doing better.
Just my 2 cents
Thanks,

These should make a nice addition for my staff.

Stephen,
I subscribe to many online marketers because I believe the first criteria to becoming a good internet marketer is to be a good student (always).
But I have to say, you are head and shoulders above the rest in providing the best \"value added\" content out there.
You have learned the one great lesson in life that has propelled your life and business; \"people don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care.\"
Since applying this same principle, my online business has been growing by leaps and bounds.
Thank you,

OK, I am a newbie, but I have a couple questions re: your steps, that I did not understand.
Step 2: Do you submit both the long & short ads to the same ad sites at the same time?
Step 4: So after you submit your ad, you get an url, then go to Pingler & enter that url?
Optimization on Your Ck List: What automated submission software do you use or recommend to submit the ads
Thx and keep the great info coming

A real newbie. Most of this material is new to me. I am not a computer person. Is there a mentor who can run me through the details and what some of these names mean? I would like traffic to my site as I am a health practitioner and not fully computer literate.

Hi !
My name is Marcel and this information about classified ads is extremely valuable to me in my Internet marketing career right now.
But there is something important I want to point out about the emails you send to me (being on one of your list).
It’s the part where you always finish your emails with “God Bless YOU and YOURS”.
It really warms my heart and I appreciate it very much.
Thanks for everything !
Marcel.

Hi Mr. Pierce,
Thanks very much for the wonderful classified ad & search engine secret.Glad to be a subscriber/reader to your newsletters & blogs.
I’ve been in the direct mail/internet marketing business for a combined total of 9 years & never heard this secret. Also, I might add – glad to see an individual like you revealing these secrets.
C’mon, I’m so tired of seeing the GURU’s online holding back valuable information from us on purpose – giving us “half-baked” ideals. Selling/giving us a puzzle to put together with pieces missing.
Just wanted you to know I was born in Michigan also & use to be in a gang affiliated in Louisiana, but now a new; God fearing man living in Texas. I feel a connection!
