I never had much success with them, many haven't either, I got the plan where you pay $10 a year and it was a waste of money honestly.

From what i know , google does love usfreeads and so do many other marketers i have meet online , any classifieds , forums and articles are very powerful if done rite. With classified posting the subject line is the most important part and within your body i would just leave your website and nothing more as if they view the body they are already intrested

Squidoo supposed to be a better alternative and it's free. usfreeads.com uses nofollow tag in your links that will not pass PR to your sites.

[johdue]

usfreead.com and squidoo also use no-follow in some times. Traffics may come but no chance because i have already used.

[Niche]

US Freeads is definitely worth looking into.
Yes the links are no follow but the human traffic does convert reasonably well

[jamieblake]

i used it when i first started and got the pay pack one
however it did bring in some traffic it wasnt alot although
the listing did show up in google on the front page which
was excellent depends on keywords and the competition i
guess.

Worth a test.

US Free ads is something that u need to post to 2-3 times a week and maybe even more if you're in a very competitive market. If you check the work from home listings on there, you will face a ton of competition, some markets are a little less competitive.

Google does favor usfreeads, so be sure and use those keywords in your titles. Google also likes craigslist and backpage a lot as well, another way to target long tail keywords with classified listings.

[slashman]

It is good for certain things. Bum marketing has nothing to do with SEO or building a real business, it is more of a reputation increasing and instant sale alternative. These pages rank well for key words with little competition because your page will be on a large website.

Yes, you are better of using ezinearticles or squidoo if you have to choose, but if you want more hub is good too.

Thanks,

Sounds like this would be worth someone producing a detailed guide/ebook on. I had limited success with it too. But will try a few of the tips mentioned in this thread.

[scene4u]

I have had with limited success with usfreeads.com and in fact I do not bother to use it as part of my marketing strategy anymore.

[tommyp]

Hmm, different opinions.

In my opinion, yes, they can do well.

But just like anything else you want to capitalize on the Google love and search engine rankings you can potentially get.

You need to treat your USFreeads pages just like any other page and do whatever you can for search engine optimization. Use your H1 tags and get your keywords in the beginning of the titles, etc.

There's not much difference between the real estate. The rules of SEO apply across the board. Besides, you want to capitalize on traffic coming in from search engines, not people who happen to be looking through the Usfreeads categories.

So, of course it works. Treat it with the same respect as you would anything else.

[artgirl]

You are correct.

USFreeAds use "no-follow" tags HOWEVER, here's a tip to pass some major Google juice to your ads.

Your USFreeAds account has a seller number and rss feed. Your feed is:
usfreeads.com/rss/searchfeed/seller:xxxxxx

Replace xxxxxx with your seller number. You now have an rss feed containing your ads.

Submit your rss feed to 5-10 rss aggregators such as feedage.com, feedraider.com, rss2.com, feedfest.com, etc. and watch your ads and links in your USFreeAds climb the search engine ranks.

Good luck!

Good idea. Thanks for sharing it.

Excellent idea. Now where do I find my seller ID? I looked all over my account and can't locate it.

[UncleDearest]

I have 90 ads running pointing to 4 sites. Most of them get about 2-4 hits a day. But I have about 15 that get between 40-200 hits a day. Quite impressive I think and most noticeable on my site. I tried the re-direct with two of the 100+ a day ads and lost my rank with google. Not sure if it's coincidence or the re-direct did it but I don't re-direct anymore. With that many hits it's well worth just letting them click through to the site from USFreeads. I'm very new at this. I think I got a little lucky but I know if you choose your keywords right it's easy to rank good. I usually get first page at least for a few days. If it goes away within a week I know it's a dud. Those really good ads I have running have stuck for over 4 months now.

Hi ZTWS:

Your seller # or id is at the top of all of your ads (directly below the title).

It is within the blue box after the Item ID#.

I hope this helps.

HI

Thanks everyone for sharing this info, it something I am going to have to try...

Has anyone noticed USFreeAds getting deindexed? I posted some ads on there for a very targeted local campaign. I was on the top in Google in a couple of hours. Now, a week later, it's not in Google at all! This happened on several ads.

I don't understand Squidoo - why spend so much time adding to their site - when you can simply add to your own?

[regmac]

One good thing about classified sites is that you can collect all of them and post your ads on them on a regular basis.

If you focus to only one classified site, that is something that wont work out.

[UncleDearest]

Yes, I have noticed the de-indexing in google for USFreeads. The last few ads I placed were on page one above the fold for a day. That was a week ago. They are now not even indexed. Older ads are still in great position. Any thoughts?

[BenjaminGates]

Probably we need to target with hot trends at any time like somebody mentioned the subject line is the key.

Also teh de-indexing is common for any website online not just US free ads or just my blog or your new blog. Google re-indexes them if you feed more links to your ad pages.

[dwpg004]

I got ban two times because of over posting. They said we can post unlimited add’s but it is not true.

[desp12]

tried and no conversion

[halfdred]

There are so many free options out there but classifieds / forums can be a nice tool for marketing on the internet

[ClickPimpsta]

I manually add the tag rel="follow" to my backlinks on US Free Ads, and it seems to stay.

I only add it to the backlinks for my money site, but not to the affiliate links in the body of the content.

Typically, I'll include backlinks to my money site and masked affiliate links to the offer.

The backlinks show up in Yahoo's Site Explorer, so they must be passing some link juice to the money site.

SEOQuake also shows them as dofollow links, and the affiliate links that I don't manually add the follow tag to, show up as nofollow... as expected.

very nice hope it will b helpful thats a grat job keep working thanks friend
