| | | | | Craigslist by Jody Graffunder | | | Craigslist, when used correctly can drive massive traffic to a website. One ad alone can net you 10-20 people per day. The trick is to use multiple ads and drive 100-200 people to your website per day with a few minutes worth of work.
The easiest and fastest way I have found to posting ads is to save a string of text in an excel spread sheet to help keep track of all the different ads you can use.
There a few things you should know and be aware of because craigslist is touchy when it comes to posting multiple times. Only post once every 5 minutes or so. 15 minutes after your first post you will need to go back and check the first add to make sure that is active. You cant simply go into your account, you will have to go to the actual location that it is supposed to be and make sure it is there. If it is not then the post has been "Ghosted". A post can become ghosted a few ways, posting to many times per minute(thus wait 5min between posts), or content that seems to be duplicated(thus you must use different titles). Try to avoid using the same text in the body, the string of text I sent you will be fine to use each and every post because it is html coding.
Now for the title you want something that is going to stand out. You want to avoid something that will make the reader get the wrong opinion before he even opens the ad. To do this I have found that using a question (usualy a joke) such as "Where do you get virgin wool from?" will get good results.
It gets good results because it peaks the interest of the reader, it will also stand out because it will be different from every other title. Then of course within the body I will type in the answer "an ugly sheep" followed by "hehe " then right below it I will paste the string of text to show the advertisement. It also helps break the ice a little by getting them to laugh.
Just make sure you use only one joke per post, Craigslist will know if you use the joke more than once and it will not let you post it twice.
Which brings us to the next area of discussion. You will want to prepare atleast 2 days maybe 3 days worth of titles and body txt. In the same excel document on a new tab break out the content into 3 days and search for original content. Creating Craigslist accounts is the best way to go for posting your ads.
You will want to delete the prior days each day and repost in the same locations, or do a 3 day rotation between 2 different groups of cities. For example: on day one you would post your day one content at say seattle and san diego, then day two you would post your day two content to salt lake city and toronto, then on day three you would erase the content in seattle and san diego before reposting your day three content in seattle and san diego. Of course you will post to like 10-20 cities per day instead of only 2 but you get the picture.
Here are some final tips:
1. SHORT ADS receive more clicks than LONG ADS.
2. Ebay is a great word to use in the subject of your ads.
3. Short ads get 80% more success to not be flagged. Use them.
4. If you use AutoPoster software, be very conservative or you'll be banned from CL. | | | | Article Source : Article-treasure.com | | Publication date : 04-09-2008 | | | | Article by Jody Graffunder | | | | jody | | | | Keywords : Craigslist | | | | | |
