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.

Advertising your website is a matter of dollars and sense; as in, where does it make the most sense to put your dollars?

A recent survey conducted by Marketingsherpa.com (as reported in the Marketing Report newsletter) showed that search engine optimization and in-house generated email lists rank neck-and-neck as the top performers when it comes to return on investment.

A few highlights:

• Paid search ads are favored by 49% of marketers as the highest ROI.
• In-house email lists received the top rating for ROI by 47% of those surveyed.
• 34% of marketers plan to increase their spending on search engines by 5% or more.

Opening up a new shop? Ready to launch your website? Got a big fundraiser in the works that you’d like to announce? Press releases are an excellent form of FREE advertising that can reach an extraordinary amount of people. Craigslist does this daily.

Although I have not done press releases as of yet (yet I say!), I wanted to get this to you…

Whenever you’re trying to generate interest in a business event, one of the first things you might try is a press release.

When published, it amounts to free advertising, and can be more effective than an ad due to the credibility of appearing as a news article.
