Does classified ad syndication work?
Over the last few years I have been submittingmore and more free classified ads. The problems I have seen is number of ad views and having my ad removed by flagging. I decided to try the online ad syndication. Stumblehere.com has made online classified ad syndication the primary focus of their site.
I am still learning all about the ad syndication process. I did a search on yahoo.com and found out that stumblehere.com uses classified ad syndication. They have a service that allows you to create classified ads through a template process. Wow, the system is simple. And the ads look fantastic! Once I created the ad then they submit it to all the highest traffic classified sites and list my ad with directories and search engines. This saved me sooo much time. I only had to create my ad one time and then they did the rest. My time is far tooo valuable to site on websites all day and submit my ads everywhere.
Enter your classified ad one time at stumblehere.com and they will post your ad for you to the top classifieds sites, online marketplaces, RSS feeds, and search engines. Yes, stumblehere does all the work. This is how stumblehere allows me to save time and money.
This is how they get hits and traffic to your ad. Not only is your classified ad on their site, but it is on all the top networks as well. And now I dont need to repost them daily cause a competitor maliciously flags my ad. Okay I am sold!
So I know from experience that free classified ads work on stumblehere, but how about these new paid ads? Are they really worth it? In doing my research I decided to try their new betterpost product. The way I understand it is the betterpost classifieds are ads designed in beautiful templates, with full ad syndication. Basically I can spice up my ad and get traffic to it without web programming knowledge.
The flagship product is betterpost. Betterpost is a premimum ad feature offered exclusively at stumblehere.com classifieds. For only 7.99 you can use their customized templates and build professional attractive classified ads. As part of the package stumblehere offers full syndication of you ad to the highest traffic sites.
I saw they currently only offer betterpost for vehicles classifieds, so i decided to try to sell my old car. They are offering 85% off through the end of October for anyone who wants to test their betterpost ad syndication. After posting your ad simply enter ‘halloween’ all lowercase in the promo code box.
Total cost was only 1.20. This test is not going to cost me anything. I really like the way my ad turned out. It looks really good.
This is my first time paying for an online classified ad. After 9 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 25 hours for syndication to happen. Now I need to wait it out.
After waiting awhile I got my first call from my betterpost ad. They really liked the ad and that was a lot of what they talked about. It caught their eye.
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.
5 days after my post I had 5 calls and 8 emails! To answer my above question, I know classified ad syndication works! It was sooo easy and I only needed to submit my ad once. And it was not brought down from someone flagging it cause they were selling a similar car, etc.
