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.

1. Direct traffic from your classified ads.
2. Links back to your site from your classified ads.
3. 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.

1. Write a short version of your and a long version (long version being 350 words or so, use your primary keyword).
2. Post both the short version and long version.
3. Grab the direct url link to the long version of your ad.
4. Ping that long version classified ad url at www.Pingler.com.
5. 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.

okay…

So, this is another easy one.It wasn’t in the list of Top 20 because I had it as a sub group of Social Networking.

Anyway… this rocks like crazy! So much so it can be addictive.

I mean really… you don’t get any easier than this for traffic generation.

I can quickly get pages listed in Google on page 1 or 2 in less than 24 hours by doing this one thing.

And for sure, this method of traffic generation is in the “Fast But Fleeting” category.

You can get fast traffic, but it will fade quickly until you create a strong enough social presence to sustain the positions your establish.

I love this… it’s exciting

So let’s get started.

Preliminary

• Identify the URL(s) you want to social bookmark.
• Research & identify keywords.
• Identify categories you want to social bookmark to.
• Create a short description of your site.

I should state here that KEYWORD RESEARCH is the most important part of this.

You can give a partial effort to social bookmarking but if you use the right keywords it will stay pay off in spades.

If you use the wrong keywords, it makes no difference how much effort you put into social bookmarking… even if you outsource it your results will be nonexistent.

Social Bookmarking

• Choose manual, semi-automatic software or outsourced.

Manual Submissions

If you’re ready roll up your sleeves and get started doing some social bookmarking to see traffic in a matter of hours, I can think of no better free site to use than this http://socialmarker.com.

Sure, there are many sites out there, however this one has proven itself to be worth the manual effort.

I should also note here that I do social bookmarking is a very specific way. A way that’s a little to complex to describe here so I only teach it in my live training workshops.

That said… social bookmarking is sooooo straight forward as long as you use the right keywords anyone can see results in a matter of ours and see traffic just as fast.

Semi-Automatic Software

While this program could use a better name, It’s worth the semi-automated effort to get faster results with your social bookmarking. Click here, check it out for yourself and see if you like it.

Outsourced

I wouldn’t recommend outsourcing this to a company the provides social bookmark services. The reason why would require a huge list here.

While not all services are created equal, I’ve personally hired many different services only to find them social bookmarking in accounts that get banned, social bookmarking on crappy networks and in one case, getting my site banned.

So careful, careful… careful.

For now, I would suggest you grab some semi-automatic software and either do it yourself, have a partner do it, have one of your children do it or do some direct cheap outsourcing …which we will cover later on.

If you only wanted to focus on a handful of social sites to social bookmark your sites, I suggest you focusing on these 7 sites…

1. http://www.stumbleupon.com
2. http://digg.com
3. http://technorati.com
4. http://delicious.com
5. http://www.reddit.com
6. http://buzz.yahoo.com
7. http://www.mixx.com

Okay, that’s it for today. I’ll see you back here tomorrow. In the meantime… get to social bookmarking your sites.
