Where To Post Ads
The first step in marketing websites through free classified ads is knowing where to post your ads for the best results.
There are many many places on the Web that allow you to post free ads for your personal home business website, as well as for your affiliate links and sales pages.
It wouldn't be effective for us to just tell you specific sites to post at, because if we did that they would no longer be effective.
Think of each site as a fishing hole, if we recommended the best fishing holes, the fish would most likely be gone before you ever got a chance to THROW OUT A LINE.
How then do you find a great fishing hole to place your ads?
Simple.
Go to a major search engine (Google, Yahoo, or your personal favorite) and type in online classifieds, free classifieds, etc.
You will get a great list of possible places to post your ads.
The goal is to find a site that has not been saturated by your particular market.
If you are advertising an affiliate link, you will want to do a search within the site for the particular program that you are promoting. You will be able to see if the fishing hole already has a lot of fishers in it.
If numerous ads come up about your same program or product that you are representing, go back to the search engine results pages and continue with the next classified ad site. A couple of similar ads for your same program or service is O.K. It a few moments we will teach you how to write headlines and ads that really draw in the attention, separating you and giving you a huge advantage.
It is generally best to start at the top of the search engine results becaused these will usually be higher traffic sites, so your ads have more visibility. But don't get hung up on this, some really great sites can be found further down the results, so don't give up after the top few.
Be patient, you will find some wonderful places to post your ads.
If you have your own website you will have a lot more freedom. This will allow you to use just about any classified ad site because your website will have its unique benefits for the visitors.
Even if you are building your business around affiliate marketing, having your own Website will allow you to create fresh content, thus attracting a wider range of visitors.

When To Post Ads
Believe it or not there is a huge advantage to marketing websites at certain times of the day.
This is a GREAT way to maximize the effect of your classified ads. Most people have know idea when the best time to post ads is, so knowing this will give you yet another advantage.
As you can see here, Internet traffic is very different from day to day.
You will want to try and place your ads at the peak of traffic. This will give you the highest number of surfers that may check out your ad. Noon seems to be the highest traffic time of the day.
It would be a good idea to plan ahead so that you have an hour or two free around this time. If this doesn’t work with your schedule, find a time of day that has good traffic and make time to post ads at that time. The afrternoon and evenings are the best, even up untill about midnight.
The day of the week also plays a huge role in the effectiveness of marketing websites through free classified ads.
As you can see here Tuesday has the highest volume of internet traffic, and Saturday has the least.
Does this mean that ads should not be placed on Saturday? No, ads can be placed daily if you have the time. However if your time is limited, your efforts for marketing websites should be concentrated more on the high volume days.
On high volume days, place your ads on numerous sites, it is well worth the time on these days.
On the slower days, focus your time in the highest traffic advertising sites, the ones that get the most visitors and came up first in your search engine results page.
Classified advertising is a practice that can be very profitable and effective when done daily, but definitely spend more time and effort on the days that have the highest traffic. Time spent on these days will be well worth it.
Writing POWERFUL Headlines
There are two parts to an effective ad, the headline and the body.
The headline is the most critical part of an effectively marketing Websites with classified ads.
Why? Because it is the first thing the reader sees, and the only part they see if it does not compel them enough to click on your ad to read the body.
THE HEADLINE WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR AD!
The headline must capture the attention of your visitors, and make the reader want to find out more. People usually just skim the headlines and click on the ads that seem the most beneficial or intriguing.
The best way to capture the attention of the prospect is to focus on the customer benefit.
People looking through classifieds have one question in their heads, "What's in it for me?"
They want to know what you have to offer that they want, so tell them. If your ad does not tell the reader why they need what your promoting, they will never see the rest of you ad.
Here are a few tips for writing compelling headlines:
- Grab the reader’s attention! Word the ad so that it's exciting. Use powerful words such as "breakthrough....." "revolutionary....." "free....." "brand new....." "exclusive....." and "powerful."
Use a thesaurus and find words that encourage emotion and get the readers interested.
- Offer the reader a benefit. Give the reader a reason to click your ad. Think from their point of view. Ask yourself "What's in it for them?"
If they feel that they you have something that they need, your ad will get the click before the ads that just describe a product or service. Make it personal.
- Be truthful. Only offer benefits that your service, product, or Website can actually provide. Do not give false promises. This is the fastest way to lose a customer forever.
Tricking people with "false promises" should be avoided. You want to serve people, not try and "trick them."
Creating Compelling Ad Copy
Now you have your potential customer right where you want them.
Getting the click on your headline is the hardest part. Once they click onto your ad to find out more, you can continue the process by writing the body of your ad to further stimulate them and cause them to click on the link to your Website or affiliate link.
There are 4 parts to an extremely effective ad.
ATTENTION-->INTEREST-->DESIRE-->ACTION
- Attention: You have already accomplished getting the reader’s attention with your headline. If they click your ad in order to read your ad copy, you have obviously attracted an attentive viewer.
Job well done!
- Interest: The next step is to build interest in your potential customer. Discuss in an attractive manner all the benefits that the reader will gain from your Website, affiliate program, or service.
Be honest, but do not be afraid to "toot your own horn." Build interest by telling the prospect why you are the best and what they can benefit by clicking on your link.
- Desire: Building interest is not always enough, most of the time you need to create desire in your reader. Desire is an emotion, and if you reach your reader on an emotional level, they will most likely click on your link.
To build desire, appeal to the senses of your reader. Make them feel the excitement of your product. Get inside their head.
A great way to do this is to paint a picture in their mind about how your product or service will benefit their lives. Have them imagine how great things will be with your service.
This is a great time to get personal. Don't simply talk about what you have, describe in detail WHY THEY NEED WHAT YOU HAVE. Imagine the beneftis of doing creating desire in your potential visitor...THEY WILL BE EAGER TO CLICK ON YOUR LINK TO FIND OUT MORE!
- Action: This is the goal of the ad. You need to tell your reader what to do.
People respong best to commands. Direct the reader to your desired action.
Most of the time it will be your goal to have the reader visit your Website, click your affiliate link, or check out your sales page. So tell them what to do. "Click the following link for more information......" or "Visit us today to see how to get started!"
Simple right? Yeah it is that easy. The wording in your body, or "ad copy," has a huge impact on the effectiveness of your efforts when marketing websites.
