Traffic and Sales From Free Ads
Ok, so I feel a little silly using these free advertising forum sites. But the fact is, I have discovered that they really do bring in regular traffic and sometimes sales and clicks as well.
Many of these free online advertising sites get tons of traffic. So if you get in the habit of posting to them regularly, you ads will certainly at least get seen, and you just might be a little shocked at the results.
Other than writing killer ad copy, there are no big secrets to making it work, but here are a few little tricks I use to maxmize my results:
First of all, if the forum allows it, I always make a “mega-thread.” This just means that I make a thread with one of my ads in it, and then I keep coming back and replying to that same thread over and over again with the same ad or a similar one. This of course pushes it to the top of the forum which is exactly where you want your ads to be. On top of that, this type of thread will amass the most views and contain the most replies as compared with the plain old regular threads. It then has the appearance of great popularity.
Another little trick is to rate your own threads at highest rating (normally five stars) which helps give the appearance of credibility.
The last thing I do is to make sure and post replies (with my ads) to popular threads that other people have posted, which brings even more exposure.
I find that the only thing that it takes to be successful when posting to free advertising forums, is to come up with good ad copy and the just keep attacking the forums, posting my ads again and again whenever time permits. There is automatic forum posting software that makes it breeze too. Otherwise it can get a little tedious at times. However, if you don’t want to use software to post ads, you can used tabs in your browser and keeps a bunch of tabs open with all of your forums.
On top of posting ads at the forums, I also post to some the free classifieds sites as well. Like the forums, some of these classfied ads sites also have huge traffic. They might as well see your ads instead of somebody else’s.
There is also another thing to take into to consideration too. The backlinks from these classified sites and forums do count, at least a lttle bit anyway, when it comes to SEO. These are not necessarily the most high-value links you can get of course, but they sure beat having no backlinks when your site is new or you are just getting started. The more popular ones are always getting spidered by the search engines. So using anchors with good keywords for your links can’t hurt a bit.
Though I haven’t tried this last idea yet myself, I really think it may work out well. If you were to find success with some of your ads, you could then map out a little system and outsource the whole thing. Not only would you dominate the free advertising sites, but you’d free up your precious time as well. There’s a lot of dirt-cheap freelancers and virtual assistants around. Well it’s something to consider anyway.
