12 High Traffic Classified Sites To Place Your Ads On
This week we are going introduce using free and paid classifieds to get targeted traffic to your Residual Wealth Factor website or your GDI website. I have put together a list of the top 12 classified websites online. This list was compiled using sites that have the highest page rank and highest Alexa ranking. For those of you that don’t know what page rank or Alexa is, it is basically a system put in place to determine the authority of a website and the amount of traffic in gets. Google assigns page rank to websites from 0-10, with 10 being the best. You can think of page rank as votes for your website. The higher the number, the more authority it has. Alexa is website that tries to analyze the traffic going to a website with a ranking system called Alexa rank. The lower the number here, the more the site is being visited, although it’s been said to be very inacurate and easily inflated, but most of the sites with really low numbers are the most visited in the world including Craigslist which has an Alexa rank of 65 currently.
Before you place your classifieds, it’s a good idea to do some keyword research first. A lot of times sites like Craigslist and US Free Ads show up in search engine results for certain keywords.
Here is a link to my favorite SEO keyword research tool over at SEO Book:

Here are some sample keywords that you can input that are great for finding people that would be into GDI and RWF:
1. MLM
2. Network Marketing
3. Home Business
4. Internet Business
5. Work At Home
6. Direct Sales
7. Affiliate Marketing
8. Domain Names
9. Web Hosting
10. Internet Marketing
When you put these search terms in, they will return lots of long tail keywords related to them and also the amount of times they are searched every day. You want to try and target a keyword that gets around 50-200 searches a day. Anything more and it will be extremely difficult to near impossible. Forget about ranking for something generic like”make money online”. Although you can do it eventually, it’s not going to happen with one classified ad.
You want to take the keyword you choose to optimize for and include it in your ad title and body copy:
For example yesterday I placed an ad on Craigslist with the keyword “simple home business” This is a copy of what my ad looks like:
< Start Of Ad >
Simple Home Business With 3 Step System To Unlimited Residual Income
It does not get any easier then this.
1. Copy my proven ads
2. Send to my confidential ad sources
3. Pocket 100’s of dollars over and over again
That’s it. No catch.

I will be putting up more samples for you to copy as I test them in the future for maximum conversions, but that’s basically it. You want to write a short ad with a call to action and get them to your lead capture page so they sign up into your Aweber autoresponder.
Here is the list of 12 sites you can sign up for right now to start placing ads. I think that all of them have options to place free ads and some offer paid ads that get you more visibility. The trick is to really be consistent and place ads everyday.
1. Craigslist
2. Adland Pro
3. US Free Ad - Only $10 for a premium membership. Google loves this site!
4. Kijiji
5. Ad Post
7. Sell
8. Loot
9. Inet Giant
10. Choose Your Item
11. Domestic Sale
A couple of more tips for classified advertising:
1. Link your classifieds to other classifieds. For example if you place an ad in US Free Ads you can place a similar ad on Craigslist and backlink it to your US Free Ads classified. This will give you extra search engine juice. Repeat this with as many sites as possible.
2. Bookmark your ads with Onlywire. This will get you even more backlinks to classified ads and more search traffic.
3. Don’t make exaggerated claims of income. Be honest and try to offer something free to the user.
4. Last but most importantly, don’t forget to track your ads! You need to know which sites are getting you signups and you need to split test your ads to see which ones perform the best.
