Will free online classified ad syndication take over craigslist?

By Amy Sanders

Over the last few weeks I have been postingmore and more free classified ads. The problems I have seen is lack of people seeing my ad and having my ad removed by flagging. I decided to try the stumblehere classified ad syndication. Stumblehere.com has made online classified ad syndication the primary focus of their site.

I wanted to find out what classified ad syndication is. Stumblehere.com encourages their professional ad service. Their Wizard walks you through the ad creation process and then will automatically syndicate and post your classified ad to over 115 separate top classified ad sites, online marketplaces, search engines and RSS Feeds. This will save you hours upon hours of valuable time. Is your time worth it?

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.

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

I am gonna test out the betterpost ads. Since I am relatively new to the web, I am excited to try their walkthrough and have my classified ad built for me. Then as part of the betterpost process the ads will have full syndication. I will let you know all my results on how thier process works.

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.

Right now stumblehere only offers betterpost in their vehicles section. I am going to test it out. I need to sell my car anyways. Stumblehere is offering 85% off through the end of October 2008 for anyone who wants to beta test their betterpost ad syndication product. Simply enter 'halloween' all lowercase in the promo code box after posting your ad.

This test is going to be really cheap. My total came to $1.20. And my ad looks really sharp.

This is my first time paying for an online classified ad. After 8 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 25 hours for syndication to happen. Now I need to wait it out.

About 7 hours later I got my 1st call... I tried to see what site they saw my ad on but, the gal couldn't remember. She just talked about how she was impressed at how my car looked in the ad.

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 7 days. 9 emails and 5 calls, not to shabby. To all the naysayers, I know classified ad syndication works! - 15433
