Does classified ad syndication work?

By Hal Johnson

Lately classified ads seem to not be working as well. I don't know if it is all the competitors flagging my ads or if classified ad page views have diminished, but my ads are not working as well as before. I have decided to try online classified ad syndication found over at stumblehere.com classifieds. I will give it a unbiased review.

What is ad syndication? Well, Stumblehere.com now provides an incredible online service that enables you to make professional-looking classified ads. These ads are then posted for you so you do not have to make multiple postings yourself. How much is your time worth? How long would it take your staff to post 150 online classified ads?

What this means is stumblehere.com saves you not only money but time too. The power comes from entering your ad only one time. After that they do all the work listing your ad in online marketplaces, classified directories, RSS feeds and the top search engines. And this is all done rather quickly, usually within 40 hours or less.

No more having to repost daily to flagging. And the quantity of top networks provides an great traffic solution. Where do I start?

What about paid ads and the stumblehere.com betterpost product? Betterpost is a way of posting ads using a walkthrough wizard. Instead of boring ads, betterpost classified ads are beautiful. And full ad syndication comes with all betterpost ads. After careful research I decided to test out betterpost. It will be a good test since I dont have web knowledge.

What is the betterpost Premium Ad Feature? The betterpost Premium Ad Feature saves you time and money! They help you create an attractive ad. For a small fee of $7.99, once you place your ad in stumblehere customized templates, they will automatically syndicate and post your ad. Yes, they post your ad for you so you do not have to make multiple postings yourself! This will save you hours upon hours of personal time.

I saw they currently only offer betterpost for vehicles classifieds, so i decided to try to sell my old car. They are offering 85% off through the end of October for anyone who wants to test their betterpost ad syndication. After posting your ad simply enter 'halloween' all lowercase in the promo code box.

Total cost was only 1.20. This test is not going to cost me anything. I really like the way my ad turned out. It looks really professional.

This is my first time paying for an online classified ad. After 7 hours I still had not received any response. I read the faq on http://www.stumblehere.com and it said how it can take up to 19 hours for syndication to happen. Now I need to wait it out.

It was not too long until i received my first call. He told me how much he enjoyed the look of my car and how well it was presented.

After a good night's rest I decided to check my email. There were already 2 emails in there about my car. Later that day I got call number 2 and set up some appointments to have people look at my car. Soo classified ad syndication does work?

Now for some results after 6 days. 8 emails and 6 calls, not to shabby. To all the naysayers, I know classified ad syndication works!
