How To Post An Ad With HTML
In this video we post an ad using the classified ad site Olx which does allow us to use HTML: http://www.olx.com/
Some site allow HTML so you can create ads using the HTML to make the ad clickable with live links. Other sites dont allow the HTML or live links to be posted.
How To Post An Ad Without HTML
In this video we post an ad using ebay classified Ads which doesnt allow HTML or live links to be placed in the ads: http://www.ebayclassifieds.com/
Here is the list of ad site I use:
http://www.olx.com (Allows HTML)
http://www.classifiedads.com (Allows HTML)
http://www.backpage.com (Allows HTML)
http://www.locanto.com (Allows HTML / Can’t put phone number in title)
http://ebayclassifieds.com (Doesn’t allow HTML)
I also use this press release site which gets some good Google Love: http://www.free-press-release.com/
All the sites above are the ones I currently use. I did find a few others that I tested but I dont like them as much. Feel free to test them out for yourself and you might like to use them for an extra boost or exposure if you want to target multiple search terms.
Note: I havent used the sites listed below in a long time so I cant offer any support or tips on using them 🙁
These two site listed below are actually sites that list a few more classified ad sites that have decent PR which just means they should get some Google Love as well. I havent used them all, but if you are marketing for a different country then you might find it useful. If you find a good one for a certain country, please share it in the forum to support the rest of the RockStar Family that are also looking for a good site in that country.
