Using AOL and Yahoo Classified Ads to Generate Traffic
By Eric Fields
Classified ads are a great place to get exposure for your business. The two main classified ad sources are AOL and Yahoo. There are others you can use but these produce great exposure when done correctly.
So first things first. You must create an eye catching sales ad. If you are not familiar with writing sales ads, hire a sales writer at elance.com. If you want to write your own sales ads here are somethings to keep in mind. First, your headline must grab the reader's attention. Look at examples of other sales ads. See what catches your eye and what doesn't . Next, in the body of your ad you must explain the benefit of what you have to offer to the reader. And not how it benefits you but how it benefits the reader. Explain how you are going to solve a problem they maybe having. Test out your sales ads and see what works.
After you have your sales ad go to AOL and Yahoo. Let's start with AOL. AOL charges a 12.50 fee for posting an ad. Yahoo is free. Also Yahoo allows you to submit up to 10 ads. AOL may charge a fee but it is worth it. Here is a tip for the Yahoo Classified ads , delete your ads every 4 days and replace them with new ads. This keeps you at the top where more people will see your ads.
