After 3 Years, FreeAdLists.com Continues to Grow in the Classified Ads Space

May 5th, 2010

The other day I was asked what was the hardest part about starting freeadlists.com. Most people would think technical implementation as being the most difficult. Not hardly. Well, it was — starting it. It was very difficult to gain traction. Frankly speaking, people do not trust new websites in general for obvious and varied reasons. On the surface, classified ads seem like an easy business model to work – people post ads, people view ads. But as most small business owners already know, it’s not that easy with any small business. Anyone that tells you starting a small business is easy, you should run or get a shovel—it’s BS. But after 3 years, we are definitely gaining traction. More and more people trust our website, which was definitely not an overnight event. Our bounce rate is now one of the lowest in the classified ads industry.  I hope the site’s momentum continues and we will continue to improve its usability for our buyers and sellers.

Thank you for making freeadlists.com a success.

Message to Paid Classified Ads Posters

February 26th, 2010

Here is a message to paid posters. You might not know this but you are screwing your client’s marketing/advertising efforts. I do understand there is a need for these types of activities – many legitimate businesses (real estate, law firms, booksellers, auto dealers, etc) outsource their marketing/advertising activities to others. But when you incessantly spam classified ads sites with certain keywords or URLs, you are forcing operators of these sites to take drastic measures. For example and not surprisingly, banning certain keywords and/or banning some website URLs amongst other things.

As with everything else in life, use moderation so please post your ads in moderation. Nobody needs or wants to see 10-15 “different classified ads” of the same topic.

Where the Heck is my Confirmation Email? Perhaps…

February 17th, 2010
We receive numerous emails each day from posters about not receiving their confirmation email. We noticed most of these “bit bucket” emails are from the following domains: aol.com, bellsouth.net, comcast.net, earthlink.net, netzero.net, charter.net, juno.com, sbcglobal.net, exite.com, verizon.net and lycos.com.
Apparently these email service providers are filtering your correspondence, so please use a different email domain.
The other alternative is to register and then no confirmation email is required.

Are Online Classified Ads Dismantling the Print Classifieds Industry?

February 5th, 2010

Here are two telling articles about how online classified ads have practically dismantled the newspaper classified advertising industry.  This is not really a shocker but the rate of decline is somewhat surprising. Craigslist has not done it singlehandedly, but they are definitely leading this particular sector of cyberspace.

Classified Ad Revenue Down 70 Percent in 10 Years, With One Bright Spot

Classified ads plunge to $6bn from $19.6bn in 2000

But let’s be honest…

Who wants to shell out  (or any money) money to sell a piece of furniture or their 5 year old automobile? Let me guess – Not many of us because there are too many options for us not to. Plus that, online classified ads are almost real-time for registered users or other users who confirm a confirmation email. But with print advertising, it might take a few days to see your ad in circulation.  Who really wants to pay for the wait?

I know some people might say that print classifieds have staying power. Yes, that might be true but when have you actually referred to an old newspaper classified ad?

Travel Classifieds Subcategory Added to FreeAdLists.com

January 27th, 2010

By popular demand…(well, sort of)

We have added a Services>>Travel subcategory. Please do not submit travel classified ads to the Services>>Small Business subcategory. The Small Business category is being inundated with travel classifieds and they are miscategorized.

Previously posted travel classified ads will be left alone (at least until they expire or are pruned from the database) but future ones will be deleted if posted incorrectly.

Sorry about the inconvenience – Mea Culpa.

Please Donate a Few Dollars to the Haitian Earthquake Relief Effort

January 16th, 2010

The Haitian folks really need our help.

Unfortunately, there will be many scammers out there who are trying to take advantage this natural disaster. I hope you take the proper precautions and do not fall victim to one of these low-life scammers. If you have not heard of the organization, do not respond!

But if you do decide to make a donation, and I hope you do, make sure you donate to a well-known charitable organization. Your chosen organization should already have a support apparatus (feet and equipment there) in place.  A few that come to mind are the ubiquitous American Red Cross, CARE, UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, Save the Children, Salvation Army, etc.

Go directly to the charitable entity’s website. Don’t follow links in spam-type emails…they could be a redirect to a scam/phishing site.

And lastly, do not forget to read their FAQs to see how your hard-earned money is divvy up – some charitable organizations have really high “administrative costs.” Make sure most of your donation gets to those who really need it.
