Need more traffic?

By Fread Janhs

Paying good money to advertising campaigns would be a good way to promote your website, or purchasing placement links where necessary, these are good methods to attract more visitors with the possibility of customers to your website. There are better options available to you and what's better is these options don't cost as much but they will produce better results. It's even possible to take advantage of free advertising that can even be more effective also.

Online classifieds is a form of advertising your services and products over the internet, this type of advertising consists of a link to your website with a description of the products and services you have to offer. You are then put into a specific category on the website and people search for products and services you offer, thus sending high ends of traffic to your website specifically interested in your products and services. This type of advertising is cheap and efficient for a webmaster, using other advertising campaigns such as PPC (Pay Per Click) usually only sends you visitors that get paid to click so your website traffic is basically spam that isn't interested in your content whatsoever.

The good thing about using classified ads as an advertising method is that you're targeting an online audience specifically in the country you want to interest, these people search for keywords on the classified websites and your page comes up, thus giving an edge over your competitors and if the visitors like what they see then there's a possibility already for a long term customer. These visitors only visit your website if they're truly interested in your services; this isn't a PPC method so you won't receive spam visitors that click on your website link then without looking at any of your content log straight off. When having a link to your website on the classifieds website also means an extra back link, which then means you are ranking higher in search engines already.

So you may think that's it, you pay for your listing and you get traffic and sales from it, it doesn't stop right there, even websites who list your websites for a fee will normally have options for a free classified which will again drive traffic to your website with the possibilities of more sales. Although it's not as visible and featured as other paid classified ads, it's still a good method to take and it's definitely one that should be taken advantaged of. Make sure you include the best possible information for your website and services and you'll have more traffic and sales in no time.

The most informative classified ads are proven to get viewed more by visitors and customers so it's vital to include as much information and any other details one might need when visiting your website. This will create a friendly relationship with the visitor already, they know about your services so this saves them researching it and possibly asking you if they need any help. If your classified ads do not contain vital information about your company then the user can quite easily be put off, thus making you lose a sale and a visitor. - 16039
