How to increase traffic with classifieds

Many site designers are using free classifieds partner programs to enter new markets and provide their site visitors a reason to return. When you give your potential customers a reason to come back to your site, you gain more opportunities to win their trust…and their money.

Here’s how you do it. You create a link to your classified ads site using appropriate keywords for your market (“Free Camaro Ads”, “Classic Car Classifieds,” “New Car Ads,” etc.). Engines like Google just love these types of links, and including these keywords will inevitably improve your ranking for exactly the type of prospect you want to attract to your web pages. Greater visibility means more visitors.

Here’s an added benefit. When your website visitors post a free classified, they are presented with an offer to upgrade their free ad with enhancements (feature ads, color, highlighted listing, etc). This sets their advertisement apart from the other ads and gains better exposure for them. Most classified ad partner programs will pay you a percentage (usually 10-25%) of the upgrade fee.

Do you have your own website? Incorporate this nifty classified ad theme to generate your own free classifieds website and earn 100% commission for yourself. Perhaps you’ll choose to give away free ads or charge a small fee as your site visitors post ads to buy or sell their services on your web site – you decide the terms. Simply attach a WordPress blog to your existing website, add this theme, and you’re all set. You have just added an additional income stream for your website.

By creating and incorporating a classified ad affiliate program into your web pages, you create the ultimate win-win-win. You provide your prospects with a value-added benefit, you increase your rankings with the search engines by incorporating keyword hyperlinks into your site, you add more markets to expose to your product, you add an additional revenue stream as they upgrade their ads, and you provide your prospects a reason to come back to your website again and again.
