Use Free Classifieds to Increase Website Traffic
May 24th, 2009
Many web site owners are using classified ad affiliate programs to tap new markets and provide their visitors a reason to return. When you give your prospects a reason to return to your website, you have additional opportunities to earn their trust…and their business.
Here’s how it works. You place a link to your classified ads site using appropriate keywords for your market (”Free Camaro Ads”, “Hot Rod Classifieds,” “Used Car Ads,” etc.). Engines like Google just love these types of links, and including these keywords will undoubtedly improve your ranking for exactly the type of buyer you want to attract to your web pages. Greater visibility means more visitors.
Here’s something else. When your visitors post free ads, they are presented with an offer to upgrade their free ad with enhancements (feature ads, color, highlighted listing, etc). This sets their offer apart from the other ads and gains better exposure for them. Most classified ad programs will pay you a percentage (usually 10-25%) of the upgrade cost. You’ve just created another income stream for your web site.
By creating and incorporating a free classifieds affiliate program into your web pages, you create the ultimate win-win-win. You provide your guests with a free value-added benefit, you improve your rankings with the search engines by incorporating keyword links into your site, you attract additional markets to expose to your product, you create an additional revenue stream as they upgrade their ads, and you give your prospects a reason to return to your site again and again.
