Classified Advertising!

Now at this point, you may be likely to get confused. We’re talking about cutting edge Internet marketing here, right?
So why am I rambling on about classified advertising in newspapers?

Did you know that advertisers spent almost $18 billion in newspaper classified ads? This total dollar amount is more than almost every other category of advertising media.

Look at the numbers!

The answer is simple:

Classified advertising is not only a valuable marketing tool offline, it is also a powerful way to reach thousands of potential customers and generate incredible profits ONLINE? all with none, or very little investment!

How can this be?

Well, think about this for a moment. I think we can all agree that placing a classified ad in your local paper is a great way to sell your car, sell your house, advertise your garage sale, sell puppies or kittens? and the list goes on, right?

Well consider this: When people are perusing the classified ad section of their Sunday paper, they’re not always looking to buy. They’re probably just snooping to see what they MIGHT like to purchase?, at least that’s what I do…sound familiar?

It’s human nature to see if there are any good deals out there. So when they come across the perfect bike? that pair of skis they’ve been wanting? the perfect leather sofa? they may be tempted by the offer, but unwilling to make the effort to pick up the phone, arrange an appointment to view the product, drive out to see what’s being offered, and then write a check.

This is a LOT of effort when you’re only curious or slightly tempted.

This is exactly why online classified Ads have a HUGE advantage over regular classified ads. Electronic classified ads remove the hassles and barriers? giving people greater incentive and ease to investigate your offer, and actually BUYING IT!

Think about it?

You’ve posted an ad for your product. A curious shopper is snooping about, reading the various offers when they come across your ad. Your offer intrigues them and they want to know more, so they simply click on the link that you have conveniently provided them with. Voila! They arrive at your site where they can view your product, read your sales copy, and easily make their purchase online.

It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s hassle free? and you capture the sales of impulse buyers!

So with that in mind, wouldn’t it be nice if you could take advantage of the thousands of electronic classified ad sites available out there? Just imagine what this FREE advertising could do for your business!

Some sites do very well with Adsense (even in the millions of dollars a year) while many more sites do extremely poorly with the program (can’t even earn $10 a month). One of the misconception people have about Adsense is they simply slap it in their websites and it will automatically earn them big money — which is not true as evidenced by the many disgruntled webmasters
If you want to increase your Adsense earnings, play with the factors below:
1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals — ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense. However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.
2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.
3. Ad placement – check Google’s ads placement for webmaster.
4. Ad colors – sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best
5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don’t want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article
6. Smartpricing – the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click – but your site is smartpriced – then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.
Here is Google’s explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Google’s smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results — such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups — we reduce the price you pay for that click.
Experiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can’t control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense – even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won’t be interested in your ads and won’t click.
