I just wanted to know if anyone else had some experience with USFreeAds. Anyone ever get any conversions?

I get a few hits every day through about 40 ads on one product, only one conversion.

    Are you a Premium member of USFreeAds or a Gold member?

    I used to dabble with it about 4 years ago when it used to complement EZA as part of the bum marketing method. Since then, conversions have been poor to justify pursuing it, and I would imagine that there are more sophisticated marketing methods these days.

    But then, I'm open to ideas if anyone has had any recent success with USFA.

      I was a premium member a few yers ago as well as above. The answer for me was NO. It did not work at all. i rather spend the membership cost in FB ads to my fan pages...

    I am a premium member. It's pretty much the only way to actually make the whole system work. Even Gold members are pretty restricted now in what they can do and promote. I believe only premium can promote affiliate links. Gold is limited to 25 ads, premium is unlimited.

    The cost for premium used to be $9.99 a month, now it is $6.99. Right now, it is only paid for itself with the one sale I mentioned earlier. It might have been a fluke, we will see.

    I am now posting 5 new classifieds a day (at 50 now) and will see what happens. It takes me about 15 - 20 minutes to post them. One article, minor revisions and subject change and then post in multiple related categories.

    Side note, I am also trying their Featured classified out, it appears to be about double effective, which is to say, not effective at all at this point.
    Their affiliate program is nice; 40% commissions on every sale and they don't kick you out after one subscription. I get some $ every month from a few referrals who are premium. No one has stopped their subscription (4 months now).

      I used to do okay with Usfreeads back in the early days of 'Bum Marketing' (2007 I think), but I never felt it was really worth pursuing in the long term. Those days it was quite easy to rank for low competition keywords.

      I definitely wouldn't bother with it now though - it's not really a viable way to build a long term stream of income. It's much better to put your content on your own sites.

    Agreed. USFreeads is not as effective as before. I dont even like its interface as a website. I'd even rather check out craigslist than usfreeads now.

    A few years ago, USFreeAds worked pretty well for the niche I was targeting but I haven't got much action over the past year and a half. I've promoted various products, even my own stuff, and gotten zero results from USFreeAds.

    As Hamida Harland mentioned above, in 2007 - 2008, it worked well because USFreeAds would pop up quickly on the first page of Google. After a while, it got harder to rank with USFreeAds.

    For me, I really don't know what type of visitor goes to USFreeAds now since the pages don't rank as well as they used to. Perhaps the markets I am in does not work well with this site.

    I made another sale today via USFreeAds.

    Most categories are junk, but the best, so far, are
    Announcements>Coupons
    and
    Business Opportunities>Work Online>Work At Home

    After that it, the categories in Employment and, surprisingly, Misc. do well.
    They also have a keyword alert system so users can be alerted when new ads with their specified keywords appear. It may just be that many users have alerts for the keywords I use.
