Press Release Body =
Online free classified sites offer a risk free, no cost solution to promote your
businesses and sell products and services. Advertising in free classified sites can
be time consuming and frustrating if you do not know how to successfully profit from
these sites. Knowing the right tricks and tips of online free classified ads will
separate you from the hundreds who post thousands of ads without getting any
results.

All free classified sites are not created equal. You should focus on a few good
sites and post your ads regularly in those sites only. Your starting point is Google
search. Go to google.com and search for \"free classifieds\" and \"free ads\". From the
search result pages, visit 10 to 15 sites and register in those sites. If a site
asks too many questions during the registration process, abandon the site and go to
the next site. Why should you have to provide all your personal information for the
site\'s benefits? Good sites will only ask minimal questions to setup your account so
that you can edit, delete and renew your ads. Also, look for sites that will allow
you to post without any registration.

Write a precise ad using 80 to 100 words. Write about benefits of your products and
services for ad viewers. Try to think benefits in terms of generating extra income,
improving health and relationships and providing a sense of good feelings when they
use your products and services.

Write a concise, interest grabbing, key words filled ad title with action words that
asks the reader to do something now. If you are promoting an affiliate product and
many ads are also about the same affiliate product, write your ad title and ad copy
differently than others so that your ad stands out in the crowd.

If you are selling personal items, like used cars, cameras etc., provide details
description of the item, its selling price, and your contact information. If you are
promoting an item to make a profit, do not try to sell your products or services in
the classified ad. Use the free ad to lead to another site or your affiliate site
where you can provide more information to make a sale.

In classified sites, most recent ads are listed on the top of the ad search or ad
listing pages. Some free classified sites have paid premium ads which are displayed
on the top of the listing pages, followed by the free ads. Avoid those free sites
that accept premium listings. In free classified sites, your ads will be buried deep
in the listing pages as more ads are posted in the same category. To keep your ads
fresh and on the top of the listing page, renew your ads every couple of days.

Do not spam by posting your ads in all categories. Post only in a few relevant
categories, preferably using different ad copies and ad titles. If the site has
regional sections, e.g. US states, cities, or countries and your target is to reach
every region, post in 10 to 15 regions only. For the search function of the site to
pickup your ad for display, you do not have to post in all the available regions.
This will save you time.

Always use photos or banners in your ads. Make sure that the size and dimensions of
your image files are within the site\'s acceptable limits. Otherwise, the site may
not display your images in your ad at all. There are a few free sites where you can
create your banners or you can use your affiliate banners. If you are using the
picture of a product, take the picture using a good digital camera and then convert
the image to jpeg format and reduce the dimensions prior to uploading.

Using the simple techniques mentioned above, you should be able to minimize your
online free advertising effort and increase responses from your ads. Remember, your
ad title and ad copy should stand out with action words and pictures. You should
regularly post your ads to keep them fresh and on top the listing page
