Useful Tips for writing a Powerful Classified Ad

Most of us know that Classified ads are a good source of free internet marketing. But sometimes classified ads don’t generate such good results as we are expecting, it really doesn't mean that classified ads are not working but it means that we make some mistake. So it's the time to write about how a classified ad has to be organized so it can bring you more results.

It doesn't matter how good the product you're selling is or how many ads you publish if the message cannot be understood by the potential clients. So here we analyse what happens when a visitor browsing a classified website.

What does a visitor do? 

• He is browsing the classified ads on different websites. 
• He might filter by category or region if filters are available. 
• He is looking at the classifieds in the listing. 
• The interest and attention to the classifieds listed is going down; after the first 3-5 pages he will abandon the browsing; most likely to succeed ads are the ones listed in the first half of the first page; we are talking about 10 ads at most. 
• At each ad he will look first at the image, then at the title and then, if the ad looks interesting, he will look at the short description. 
• If all looks good he will click to see your ad and you have won the first battle, the listings battle; now you have to win the ad page battle. 

If the Visitor Clicked on your Ad

You've not yet achieved your goal if the visitor clicked your ad to see further details. Let’s see what’ll be the visitors behaviour.

• He already knows the title of the ad so he only checks it to see it he's on the right page. 
• He looks at the image, then at the price, if available. 
• Scrolls down too look at more images. 
• He gets back to the ad description and starts reading. 
• He will read not more than 2 lines before he decides if he should read more or go browse for more ads. 
• If he likes the ad he will look for either the contact form or a save functionality or send to email functionality 

Now according to this analysis all you have to do is to write a good attractive ad which contains a good title (which also contains a keyword), an impressive image (use same picture as your website it’ll help visitor in finding you anywhere else), real price of your product (If you have a range of prices put the lowest price, if you sell something in packs of 10 for example put the price for one item.), a short description (Write here the essential about what's in your ad, trow in some keywords), long description (Insert testimonials, proofs of what you say, expert quotes, about yourself etc.) & contact info (Put phone number, publish your email id which is specific for this purpose, always provide a link to your website or you can also add contact info in image you inserted).

Follow these steps and leave a good comment down here if you get good response.

Useful Tips To Market with Classified Ads

Classified ads are one of the most simple and easy to use internet marketing techniques on-line because it's a technique that, as marketers, we're all familiar with. It's also free, and you don't need to use a list, a website, or expensive pay per click. There are many famous classifieds site which you can use for Free like Craigslist, OLX, PPN Classifieds etc.

In this post I'm going to share some tips to gain successfully your target with classified ads. Here are some tips for getting the most from your marketing. 

1. Write effective ads. 

This may sound silly, but it's really not. If you read many of the ads you see on classified ads sites, they are poorly written, and they usually lack something in the AIDA formula.

Before you can write a good ad, you need to learn how to do it. Study good ads. Practice rewriting these ads, and then use what you learn to write your own ads. 

2. Write and post as many ads as you possibly can. 

Most people who use this technique will post five to ten ads and then stop. The only problem here is that it takes a lot more ads than that to get results. The more ads you have circulating, the faster, and greater results you will get. 

3. If possible, include a graphic in your ad. 

Graphics will get the attention of your reader. It also doesn't hurt to let them see what your product looks like if possible. There are free programs like Gimp you can use to make eBook covers quickly. If not, then find someone on the internet to do it for you. You can get it done cheap, and it will make your ad more responsive. 

4. If marketing affiliate products, cloak your links. 

Cloaking will not only protect your links from getting hijacked, causing you to lose your commissions, but it's also an easy way to track your ads. Just use a testing and tracking system like Viral URL, which is free. 

5. Track and test your ads. 

The easiest way to do this, as I mentioned before, is to cloak your links using a tracking script. You can compare your clicks to sales. This will give you a sense of how your ads are doing so you can tweak them. 

6. Repost expired ads. 

Your ads won't do you any good if they aren't circulating. As soon as your ads expire, repost them. This will also put your ad back at the top, which will help it get seen again.

I hope you can get much more response with classified ads by adopting these useful tips.
