Thread: Free ad sites do they work??

Hi all,

I think posting your business on free ad sites improves your site ranking does anyone else think so? I have been using viva street ad's for sometime now and often rank on page one of google. Yes it is time consuming having to repost every couple of weeks or so but it has proved worthwhile. For someone like us you have a very low, infact nil budget for SEO free ads have helped us survive the last 2 years.

However some folks say it can look bad on our business because it is just a classified ad, what do you think?

Dave

Yes they do work.
You get back links and relevant ads to your site.
My site is buysellrentads(dot)com
You can even promote your url.
Ads that get posted stay up for 6 months at the moment.
People promote anything and everything with free classified ads.

Free ads work....for the reasons stated above....

And consider this........traffic is traffic......if someone responds to one of your ads they may become a customer....

Two way to to look at it

Yes "Traffic is traffic"

But if you send 10,000 visitors to your site and make 0 sales what will be the difference if you send 100,000 visitors to your site. You still get 0 sales.

On the other hand depends what your promoting.

I use traffic exchanges, list builders and credit mailers. The response is brutal BUT all people surfing these sites are looking for 1 thing and 1 thing only, more traffic. So if you promote another exchange, another list builder or credit mailers yes you can make sales.
My main income for the last few weeks has been for this exchanges.

When I get signup's... the first thing I state in the follow up email is "why send 1 million hits to your site if you have not got a product to sell." I ask the members to follow 3 steps... the first 2 show them how much traffic they can get for free and the 3rd is the products which is my case is gdi.... The system is working for me and getting another sign-up every day or 2.

OK....then you have to work to redefine your traffic and attract targeted traffic.....
Think Google might react favorably to massive traffic if the SEO has been done....

Hi thanks for the comments..I will continue target the free ad's.

Credit mailers - Basicially you sign up and every day you recieve a number of emails. Each time you open the mail and view the sites for between 10 - 25 secounds you recieve credits for mailing other members of that site.

Most sites give you bonus credits just for joining so if they don't find them useful just cancel.

All are free to join and you can earn be referring new members if they decide to upgrade. The reason a member would upgrade is to receive a large amount of bonus credits every month so less opening mails for credits and more advertising. Here are a list of mailers I use

Also you can send solo's from any of these exchanges for free. There are bonus codes there to give you plenty of free advertising.

I alsothink that the free ads sites really works. being free you can aproch as many free sites as well as local free ad sites however in ordr to get better trafic you must also approch to some paid ads along with these free ads.with the free ads there may be possibility that your site ges wrong impression since most of the free ads are not optimised quite good. so be sure to give all the relevent details of your site while aproching free ads service.

Les,
Is that your site, or just one you use?

Dave, Can you use viva street ads for digital products? It looks as if the site is for physical products.

Sandy

Never heard of viva street. Here are some other free ad sites:

If anyone is interested you can place your free ads on my site...

Any ads placed now will stay active until the end of Feb and will then send you a link to place another...Only 1 ad per user per month.. Lots of ads coming in everyday since I set it up 1 week ago so people are viewing the page... use a tracker if you like.

I don't pay for advertising, so free advertising does work... can't remember the last time I went to google and searched for something... most of my purchases and info are got from free advertising sites.

I think Free ad sites only work when they are targeted to your website's niche our whenever they provide you with a dofollow backlink.

One of the most successful IM says that you should try to get a diversify link strategy, which means getting link from all sources, new and old they are valuable, some more than others but all valuable as a whole.

Personally I would stay away from free ad sites particularity if they are not related to your niche.

Free is my favourite word. You just have to be clever with what you are using it for. from my experience this is what I've found.

Free classified adds
if targeted (which a lot are these days) work wonders, not anywhere as good a a paid add but I would say a lot better than a lot of ppc add's. I get 3+ emails a day just from my classified adds, working out at about 4-8 sales a week(not great but cost me nothing).


Traffic Exchanges
I find for physical products that they are good for one thing Alexa rating, best option is look for the ones with bonus credits in sign up, you will have to meet a quota to get the bonus but once you got it just move on to the next bonus site.
If your product is digital and related to traffic exchanges and making money online "fast" I find traffic exchanges to be the better option for targeted sales

Article submission
Majority of the best article site are free or have a free aspect. If you can write about your product then you can generate a lot of traffic from a few well written and placed article's.

There are a lot of other free traffic generation methods but those three are the ones I'm using on a daily basis.

I will repeat.....

Classified ads do work.......some classified sites have high PR.....

And although, relative links may be the best, incoming links do help......

Any advertising that exposes your site to "possible " traffic is worth the effort,
Particularly free ads.........

Too many people get locked into a single type that they believe is "best" and that is fine....for them.....continue on your present path and enjoy any extra traffic that you get.....

Free ad sites do improve your back links, but

you can get thousands and thousands of back links for just a few bux.

Hello,

What is a banner advertisement? It's a graphical (image) advertisement used online that links to the advertiser's website.

Banner sizes are measured in pixels. The most common size online is 468 x 60. This means it's 468 pixels wide and 60 pixels high.

Thanks
