Is USFreeads worth the $9.99/month premium membership?

genietoast · 07-07-2009, 09:30 PM

I've heard both good and bad about using USFreeads as a form of article marketing.

I know that the free version only allows 5 free posts, but is it worth upgrading to the premium membership ($9.99/month)?

Or do you think the more conventional forms of article marketing (e.g. ezine articles, etc.) is more profitable?

No it is completely rubbish.

Highly spammed and not a trusted site by google. Don't waste your time with it!

Worth its weight in gold when you get your keywords right. Very much trusted by Google. I have one ad that's been running for a couple of years that ranks number 3 for a trademark term and brings in steady sales every month, thank you.

Are you two joking!

When i tried it out and whenever i see it in google it always has 2nd page or lower rankings. That is even with backlinks pointing to the page itself.

I would prefer to make a web 2.0 property and have my article there and know that it will rank highly with even competitive keywords. The only time ive seen usfree ads ranking highly is for keywords that are not competitive at all. In fact whenever i do see them i check the keyphrase myself to see if i can monetize on it and just quickly throw up a web 2.0 site and then leave it to make me cash.

If you don't plan on stuffing usfreeads with dozens/hundreds of keyword optimized ads don't bother with the $10 paid option.

Hope This Helps!!

Actually, no. I'm not joking. It's well worth it to me, just for one ad.

Your mileage may vary. I don't pretend to know all the factors involved. Maybe I just got lucky.

Any reason why they are not accepting Amazon products or links anymore?

Well it may be that Amazon told them not to accept those kind of ads any more. Amazon is getting stricter about what it allows and what it doesn't allow.

You maybe right, they never would answer my question for the reason behind the no Amazon rule.
