Part 2 (continued from part one posted on gather.com)
3 Monster Benefits of Classified Internet Marketing!
If you haven't read part one, it is located here. http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978047251 There is a link back here once you have finished part 1.
So the first 2 benefits of posting to classified sites have already been covered.
But the 3rd benefit is of great importance to all internet marketers. It gives you backlinks. The biggest problems with those backlinks is that they are short lived. So the only way to keep the positive effects from them is to continue posting to various classified sites.
When I say short lived that could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months or more depending on where you post ads. If you post on CL, your ads will run form 7 days to a month. But if you post every day, you will have a constant source of short term backlinks. And if you post in enough areas and use the next technique I will describe, then you can get a whole bunch of links that are high PR and will show up after Google crawls Cl. The links will stay on until Google crawls it again and that specific ad is gone.
The nice thing is that since Cl uses a posting number for each ad, the backlink for that ad is considered a unique backlink. This may be due to it being on a different server, I'm not really sure. I am sure that each ad posting shows up as a unique backlink. So the more times you post a link, the more backlinks you get from that ad.
The method I use is to post and ad and also post additional links along with the primary ad. For example, I post an ad for say a boating site in sporting goods. I also post any other sporting related links I have. Like say fishing gear or what have you. If I post in say health and beauty, I post all links relating to anything a woman might be interested in. So if you have an exercise site, you would want to post any other even closely related sites. I put all the links to sites for anything a woman might want. Including stuff related to kids or pets for example.
Get the idea? This accomplishes 4 things. You'll certainly get traffic for your main listing, you'll get some residual traffic for the other posted sites, maybe a lot! I seem to. You will make money off the primary ad, money off the secondary posts and of course traffic to those sites and you get the added benefit of a unique backlink for each and every link in the posting.
For example, I post to CL With a primary ad and secondary links to say 5-10 of my other sites. I get all the above benefits an 6 to 11 backlinks for those sites that last anywhere form 2 weeks (once they have been indexed) to 2 months (longer or shorter depending on Google's crawl rate for the classified site to post to)
So in a nutshell you get traffic to your sites, make money form them and get potentially a huge number of backlinks. Your mileage may vary. I get very high responses from this technique.
