Using Online Classified Advertising Efficiently and Inexpensively
By Joe Reinbold

Many of you use free classified advertising to promote your site, affiliate program and/or home businesses. We have used them continuously over the last twelve years and use them today. You will see many marketing reports and ebooks online that recommend placing free classifieds. Many recommend placing several ads almost every day.

Why? On most if not all free classified sites, each time a new ad is placed into the system the ad goes to the top of the lists for whatever category or keyword you have placed it in. Then as each new ad is placed in that same category your ad will get pushed down.

Very often your ad, if it is in a very popular category at a very popular classified ad site, will move down the list towards the bottom very quickly sometimes in minutes. So when you hear someone recommend that you place free ads continuously it is basically to keep the ad near the top of the list. Of course this can get very laborious after a while.

At one of the classified sites that I have advertised at for the many years, I have been using what is called an "Automatic Hourly Renewable Ad" service.

What happens is my ads are renewed every hour automatically so they again go right to the top of the category I chose. It does this twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. I receive hits from these ads just about on a daily basis.

The cost of this service is a around $8 per month per ad which I believe is very reasonable considering it saves me from manually updating my ads on a regular basis. And each time I get a hit from these ads, I automatically get an email notifying me that someone visited my site and which site it was. These renewable service ads also have an extra bonus of having bold headlines in a larger font as well as having the body text highlighted. This makes them more visible to the prospect viewing the ads.

If you are on a small advertising budget, this may be one of the ways that you could use your funds very efficiently and save yourself quite a lot of time. If you are interested in taking a look at the service, click here, then click on "Banners/Text Ad Advertising" in the right column under "Services" and then on the next page click on "Classified Ads" on the menu in the left column.

So if you are looking for an inexpensive way to generate traffic to your site and want to maximise exposure to your ad I recommend this site very highly.
