Does anyone use USFreeAds as a way of making money with affiliates (clickbank) anymore?

I was watching a video from Travis S. on Bum Marketing and he had a good tutorial about using USFreeAds.

For the $10 I guess I can not go wrong, even if I fail to sell anything. I was just wondering if it is still a viable means to make some money.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Chuck

    Yea, you can. However, using USfreeads is sort of like using an article directory for submitting articles to draw traffic to your site. You are capitalizing on the fact that USFreeAds can get good search engine placement relatively quickly, sort of like using Ezine Articles, etc. and not because USFreeAds itself is going to make you sales. You could actually sell from USFreeAds, but depending on what you are doing (and if you are selling digital products, services or especially using classified ads as an affiliate) you are not really relying on making sales from people who go to USFreeAds specifically to browse through the categories but you want to take advantage of people who will find your classified ad in the search engines - that's what you are really going after.

    So, make sure you pick the right keywords and get them in the title of the ad, a large font headline with your keywords and use the keywords a few times throughout your ad within a short description followed by a few bullet points with benefits and a call to action to click on the link to your sites. That's just a guideline. Basically make a mini-salesletter type ad that is relatively short as opposed to a full blown sales letter. Using an image in your ad can also be a good idea.

    Like I said you are just capitalizing on the SE rankings a USFreeAd can get quickly but using the right keywords, marketing, promotion, etc. is the same as you would do with anything else.

        One thing to note is that you NEED to get the paid version (only $10 a month) in order to help with marketing. You can make ads for free, but they strip out any website links...which makes it kind of pointless if you are trying to get visitors to your site, or you are just wanting backlinks.
