Will free online classified ad syndication take over craigslist?
No commentsLately classifieds seem to not be working as well. I do not know if it is all my ads being removed by people flagging them or if classified ad page views have gone down, but my ads are not pulling as well as before. I have decided to try the new classifieds syndication found over at stumblehere.com classifieds. I will give it a impartial review.
I wanted to find out what classified ad syndication is. Stumblehere.com touts their professional ad service. Their Wizard walks you through the ad creation process and then will automatically syndicate and post your classified ad to over 150 separate highest traffic classified ad sites, online marketplaces, search engines and RSS Feeds. This will save you hours upon hours of valuable time. Is your time worth it?
Stumblehere.com can save you time and money. Enter your listings one time and watch them spread automatically to some of the highest trafficked search sites on the Internet. They automatically syndicate and post your ad to over 100 separate top classified ad directories, online marketplaces, search engines and RSS Feeds. This will save you hours upon hours of personal time. Once submitted, your ad will show live on the other sites within 24 - 48 hours.
No more having to repost my ads daily to flagging. And the quantity of top networks provides an amazing traffic solution. Where do I start?
What about paid ads and the stumblehere.com betterpost product? Betterpost is a way of posting ads using a walkthrough wizard. Instead of boring ads, betterpost classified ads are beautiful. And full ad syndication comes with all betterpost ads. After careful research I decided to test out betterpost. It will be a good test since I dont have web knowledge.
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 classified ad for you so you do not have to make multiple ad placements yourself!
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.
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 11 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 26 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.
After I got up the next morning I had 2 emails and got my second call about 2 hours later (does this classified ad syndication stuff really work?) I decided to have interested parties come look at my car over the weekend when I had some time off work.
Now for some results after 6 days. 9 emails and 5 calls, not to shabby. To all the naysayers, I know classified ad syndication works!
