| Can You write a simple 5 line
classified Ad By
Mike Hills
Hi.
This may seem like a very daft question, But can you
write a
simple 5 line classified Ad?
My name is Mike Hills I am editor and publisher of the
Daily
Classifieds eZine, at www.DailyClassifieds.co.uk.
I am also
owner of one of the larger eZine co-ops 10dollars20ads at
www.10dollars20ads.com.
As you can imagine I get loads of classified ads sent me.
Most are ok and can be passed on, but some Ads I get are
just simply a waste of time. Not only for me but also the
person that is advertising.
Here are a selection of ads received in the last few
days.
=========
Justsaywhen...vintage clothing and accessories.
>From Funky to Fabulous 1890-1980. Gucci, Pucci, and
more !
=========
Where is the url? where does
the customer find you?
Result 100% waste of time
========
Unless YOU WANT to keep trying and trying and trying with
no
results - then you'd probably BETTER get the
details on WHY you AREN'T making money online - and why
other people - even newcomers! - finally are in the
GIDEON
NETWORK!! Find out how we do it

Ok this time they got the url in. BUT because they added
a :
joined to the http://www. the
link doesn't work.
Result 50% waste of time
========
Internet shopping mall with over 400 stores, where
thousands
of name brands are available at discount prices.
Everything from computers to travel and a unique business
opportunity.http://www.itilink.com/joyshop.iti
========
Again they got the url in but again they added something
BEFORE the http://www. so the
link doesn't work
Result 50% waste of time
========

Although the link will work in many e mail Clients. there are some
out there that still don't recognise this as a Hyperlink. and if it
doesn't work as a hyperlink. Then no one will be able to click on it.
And they sure won't cut and paste it into their broweser.
What I am driving at is.
Well about 5-10% of all the ads I received have faults.
Stupid, simple, easily correctable faults but faults none
the less.
These faults cost you the advertiser and me, money and
more
importantly time.
Most internet marketers will not chase a dead link, or
even
cut and paste a link into a browser, unless specifically
asked to do so.
So when you do submit your 5 lined classified ad.
Remember.
1) does it read correctly?
2) have I included my URL and or contact details?
3) Does the link work?
once you have checked all the above. send your Ad to
yourself.
4) once you have received your ad. Check the above again.
5) Then and only then submit your ad to where ever you
are
posting it.
By doing these few simple things, you can avoid the upset
of
seeing your ad published, and knowing full well "
YOU BLEW
IT " because no one is going to visit your site.
