What is this new classified ad syndication I am hearing about?

I have tested many free classifieds and found kijiji had a ton of traffic. However my online classifieds just seem to get taken down and then I need to go and repost them. I have tried many online classified sites but found the traffic just isn’t there…. Yesterday I received a newsletter from stumblehere and I decided to trythe Ad Syndication that has made stumblehere grow so rapidly.

What is online classified ad syndication? Well, Stumblehere.com now provides an incredible online service that enables you to develop 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 35 hours or less.

This is how they get traffic to your ad. Not only is your ad on their site, but it is on all the top networks as well. And now I dont need to repost it daily cause a competitor maliciously flags my ad. Okay I am sold!

So I know from experience that free classified ads work on stumblehere, but how about these new paid ads? Are they really worth it? In doing my research I decided to try their new betterpost product. The way I understand it is the betterpost classifieds are ads designed in beautiful templates, with full ad syndication. Basically I can spice up my ad and get traffic to it without web programming knowledge.

The best way to explain betterpost is – An ad upgrade feature, for 7.99 you build a professional and attractive ad and then stumblehere.com syndicates that ad for you. They place and syndicate your classified ad for you so you do not have to make multiple ad postings yourself!

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.

Wow ummm so I can test this out for only $1.20? I think I can afford that test. I placed the ad and paid my buck. My Ad is gorgeous. No really, it looks fantastic, not boring like most classified ads.

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 30 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 I got up the next morning I had 4 emails and got my second call about 2 hours later (does this classified ad syndication stuff really work?) I decided to have interested parties come look at my car over the weekend when I had some time off work.

To answer my question above, I know ad syndication works! It was nice to only have to submit my ad once. Plus my ad was not flagged wrongly. 4 days after i started this process response was great. I had 5 calls and 9 emails!
