    Your best prospects are not searching out classified ads to find a Forex broker.

    Right now, if you have any readers of your ads, they probably are mildly curious at best. At worst, they just wanna laugh at some spam.

    P.S. Forex affiliates have been spamming Craigslist since the 1990s. Your sample ad is spam. You are not catching anyone worth catching with spam on a classified ad site. New bait and new pond is needed.

    I don't know much... but I do know that the tone of your copy should be conversational. If you were telling a friend about this great new forex broker you just found would you talk like this?

    Sounds like the wrong place to find who you're looking for and what are you trying to do, drive them to a sales page on the website?

    The copy is a little confusing too with all the forex the easy way with easy-forex etc, etc.

    Hello,

    DRIVE TARGETED TRAFFIC TO WEBSITE:
    - You need to be driving targeted traffic to a website.
    - That way you have 'warm' traffic.

    HEADLINE NOT STRONG ENOUGH:
    - Headline really need to draw readers in and stress the main benefit.
    - Your headline is very weak and just repeats the word 'easy' twice.'
    - You need something stronger that identifies the main problem and even poses a question to your target market.

    BENEFITS NEED TO BE STRONGER:
    - Some of your benefits are OK but you really need to work to make these stronger and have more pull.
