10 Reasons to Post an Ad

The goal is to have search engines rank AccuDiagnostics as the #1 site for any related key word search. To accomplish this you must saturate the Internet with information about all aspects of your business.

Posting ads on popular classified advertising websites is a quick and easy way to do this.

Using classified advertising websites has two objectives:

  1. One obvious objective is for viewers of a classified advertising website to view the advertisements placed.
  2. Even more importantly, search engine spiders crawl these advertisements and rank them. Ultimately your advertisements need to be posted on as many of these classified advertising websites as possible. The more your advertisements are crawled by the spiders, the higher the ranking will be on the search engines.

    Craigslist is by far the most popular classified advertising website. We have seen a lot of success with ads being posted on Craigslist. It is IMPORTANT to optimize your visibility and to continually repost your advertisements at once, or even twice a week. An easy way of doing this is to schedule postings on Mondays and Thursdays of each week.

    Another website we are seeing results from is Oodle.

    Here are your 10 reasons to post an ad on Oodle: google.com , military.com , lycos.com , washingtonpost.com , myspace.com , backpage.com , efind.com , newsondeals.com , thecorner.com, and a large number of other local classified listings.

    All of these websites are partners with Oodle. If an advertisement is posted on Oodle , other sites will pick up your postings and display these ads as if these were posted on their own websites.

    Use the templates provided to you and make sure you to keep your user IDs handy. Post multiple ads in different categories on each website and update, edit, and repost your ads routinely.

    If you haven’t updated your ads with the new landing page URL (as in this example: AccuDiagnostics Local Drug Testing of Martinez), now is a good time to get it done!
