Is online classified ad syndication worth it?
I have tested many free classifieds and found kijiji had a ton of traffic. However my classified ads just seem to get flagged and then I need to go and post them again. I have tried many classified ad sites but found the traffic just isn’t there…. A few days ago I received a notification from stumblehere and I decided to trythe Ad Syndication that has made stumblehere grow so rapidly.
What is classified ad syndication? Well, Stumblehere.com now provides an amazing online service that enables you to develop professional-looking classified ads. These ads are then posted for you so you do not have to make multiple postings yourself. How much is your time worth? How long would it take your staff to post 95 or more free classified ads?
What this means is stumblehere.com saves you not only money but time too. The power comes from entering your ad only one time. After that they do all the work listing your ad in online marketplaces, classified directories, RSS feeds and the top search engines. And this is all done rather quickly, usually within 40 hours or less.
Wow, so I can actually get traffic to my ad? I don’t have to spend time posting them 1000 places? I don’t need to repost them every day due to being flagged wrongly? Sign me up!
I am gonna test out the betterpost ads. Since I am relatively new to the web, I am excited to try their walkthrough and have my classified ad built for me. Then as part of the betterpost process the ads will have full syndication. I will let you know all my results on how thier process works.
The best way to explain betterpost is - An ad upgrade feature, for 7.99 you build a professional and attractive ad and then stumblehere.com syndicates that ad for you. They place and syndicate your ad for you so you do not have to make multiple ad placements yourself!
Right now stumblehere only offers betterpost in their vehicles section. I am going to test it out. I need to sell my car anyways. Stumblehere is offering 85% off through the end of October 2008 for anyone who wants to beta test their betterpost ad syndication product. Simply enter ‘halloween’ all lowercase in the promo code box after posting your ad.
Wow ummm so I can test this out for only $1.20? I think I can afford that test. I placed the ad and paid my buck. My Ad is gorgeous. No really, it looks fantastic, not boring like most classified ads.
First time for everything, my first time paying for aclassifed ad online. It has been 10 hours and I have not heard anything. I wonder if this will really work? I decided to go back to http://www.stumblehere.com and research it more. Their site says classified ad syndication can take up to 36 hours. I guess I will have to do some waiting.
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 3 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.
Now for some results after 5 days. 9 emails and 5 calls, not to shabby. To all the naysayers, I know classified ad syndication works!
