Whether your website is one that's brand new or one that's been around for a while, the main goal, as far as SEO is concerned, is to ensure that your website gets indexed by all the reputed search engines and climbs up the serps as fast as possible.
Indeed, many companies start working towards this goal from day 1 of their website launch.
Many go to the extent of hiring the services of SEO experts in order to achieve their goals and gain credibility which in turn will land them access to a global market that's larger than they could've ever imagined.
This then results in a large volume of traffic to their websites, a good percentage of which they're able to convert into sales.
That, in a nutshell, is how the entire system works.
You must be wondering where online classified ads come into the picture and how they help you achieve the above mentioned goals.
Let me explain.
Associating your website with any other website that's visited on a daily basis by search engine spiders can get your indexed overnight, literally speaking.
When it comes to online classified ads, search engines roam such well-known classified websites as Craiglists on a daily basis.
Websites like eBay are also highly popular with search engines so the brand new classified ad section that eBay has created is one more option to help you get indexed superquick.
What's more the price you pay for this is totally affordable and when compared to the results they provide, you'll be convinced they're worth much, much more than what you invested.
There's also the fact that online classified ads are known to provide great results in the least amount of time in terms of driving traffic directly to your website provided your ads are appealing enough and compel the viewer to check out your website immediately.
Putting up your ad on Craiglists or eBay isn't rocket science either.
All you have to do is log on to the websites and read the terms and conditions before creating your online classified ad.
This will ensure that your ad's accepted and posted on these websites.
The good thing about Craiglists is that they enforce space limitations allowing you free-reign to make good use of your creativity to come up with a brilliant classified ad.
The ad, once accepted, remains on the website for a duration of 45 days.
eBay's classified section, being in its nascent stage only extends to specific products, but it's already obvious the day when it'll be extended to all products is on the horizon.
Once you pay the specified rate (fixed), you're allowed to place an ad for your product making use of both images as well as videos to attract more viewers to your website.
You can either choose to have interested customers fill out a form that will be forwarded to you or set up a direct link from the ad to your sales page for them to access immediately.
All such ads remain on the website for a month.
