Free Classified Ads Or Online Classified Ad Syndication?
I have tested many online ad sites and found craigslist had a ton of traffic. However my classified ads just seem to get taken down and then I need to go and repost them. I have tried other free classified sites but found the traffic just isn’t there…. Two days ago I received a notification from stumblehere and I decided to test outthe Ad Syndication that stumblehere.com is promoting.
What is classified ad syndication? Well, Stumblehere.com now provides an incredible online service that enables you to develop professional-looking classified ads. These ads are then posted for you so you do not have to make multiple postings yourself. How much is your time worth? How long would it take your staff to post 150 online classified ads?
Stumblehere.com can save you time and money. Enter your listings only once and watch them spread automatically to some of the highest trafficked search sites on the Internet. They automatically syndicate and post your ad to over 100 separate top classified ad directories, online marketplaces, search engines and RSS Feeds. This will save you hours upon hours of personal time. Once submitted, your ad will show live on the other sites within 24 – 48 hours.
No more having to repost my ads daily to flagging. And the quantity of top networks provides an amazing traffic solution. Where do I start?
What about paid ads and the stumblehere.com betterpost product? Betterpost is a way of posting ads using a walkthrough wizard. Instead of boring ads, betterpost classified ads are beautiful. And full ad syndication comes with all betterpost ads. After careful research I decided to test out betterpost. It will be a good test since I dont have web knowledge.
The best way to explain betterpost is – An ad upgrade feature, for 7.99 you build a professional and attractive ad and then stumblehere.com syndicates that ad for you. They place and syndicate your classified ad for you so you do not have to make multiple ad postings yourself!
Right now stumblehere only offers betterpost in their vehicles section. I am going to test it out. I need to sell my car anyways. Stumblehere is offering 85% off through the end of October 2008 for anyone who wants to beta test their betterpost ad syndication product. Simply enter ‘halloween’ all lowercase in the promo code box after posting your ad.
This test is going to be really cheap. My total came to $1.20. And my ad looks really sharp.
This is my first time paying for an online classified ad. After 7 hours I still had not received any response. I read the faq on http://www.stumblehere.com and it said how it can take up to 30 hours for syndication to happen. Now I need to wait it out.
About 6 hours later I got my 1st call… I tried to see what site they saw my ad on but, the gal couldn’t remember. She just talked about how she was impressed at how my car looked in the ad.
The next morning I had 4 emails about my car. And later that day call number 2 came in off my syndicated ad. Is this classified ad syndication stuff working? I need to set up times for people to look at my car.
To answer my question above, I know ad syndication works! It was nice to only have to submit my ad once. Plus my ad was not flagged wrongly. 3 days after i started this process response was great. I had 6 calls and 9 emails!
