Overview of Creating a CraigsList Ad Posting
This optimization tactic has two distinct advantages. The first is simply the inbound link you obtain when the ad is posted on their site. The second is actually traffic related. If your ad is written well and it relates to a topic that has decent interest within CraigsList then you can actually drive real visitors to your web site as they view your ad. As you review this tactic, think of other sites where you can duplicate the dual effect of this type of strategy. Myspace has a similar effect for example. We cover this below.
Timetable: Day 19 (plus you can repeat this as often as you like)
- Sign up at http://www.CraigsList.org
- Write a 50-100 keyword rich text ad with a keyword minded headline
- Include keyword rich anchor text in link back to site
- Post ad in a busy metropolitan city (LA, Chicago, NY)
- Use HTML tags & Upload a banner for the ad
- Craigslist keeps an ad up for 30-60 days
- Make it a schedule to resubmit add every 21 days.
- Use fresh content when submitting future ads. (Craigslist has strict ad duplicate filters)
- Note that you won't get much pagerank kick from this but every relevant link helps.
There are a few sites out there selling ebooks on CraigsList strategies. I think some of them are still quite valuable and you may want to consider using them.
