Writing a better Craigslist Ad

This article is going to be mainly about how to kill two birds with one stone. How to create an ad that stands apart from the crowd, and how to stand apart from an SEO perspective on google. From Craigslist’s 24 billion page views per month, how many of those can you get with your ad? What about 100 billion searches on google every month, how can you come up on there as well as often as possible? Many of you here also have your own company websites. Why pay adwords, or an SEO expert when you can achieve great results by adjusting the way you create your ads a bit.

You can potentially put your Craigslist ad on the the front page of google without paying a dime. You can also bring your website higher in google and take a permanent spot on google in the organic results and never have to pay anyone for advertising again. You need to stand out from the rest in the Craigslist search results to begin with. There are some secret codes you can add to put characters in your posts, little images in your titles, and even insert a double space in your ads title to really pop them out of the search results. We also have the solution for hiding all your keywords so the customers can’t see them, and your competition doesn’t notice why you’re out pacing them. Once you know the secrets, and learn to make a more catchy ad that people will actually open, then it’s time to add some SEO tweaks, and of course your fancy graphics skills.

Code secrets

Down the rabbit hole

Have you ever wanted to hide your big ugly block of keywords? Here is a nice trick, use this code before the text you want to hide.

If you don’t want to erase the entire rest of the page, you can put this </font> after the words you have hidden, and the Craigslist footer will return.

How do they put those funny symbols in the title?

I’m sure as your eyes have scoured the listings they were attracted to the ads that were in CAPS and the ads that had the graphic symbols included in them. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about take a look below.

In the Craigslist search pages, symbols such as these are a huge attention-getter. Craigslist is definitely not the place where you want to just blend in, and since the elimination of html and img tags, symbols in your titles become all the more important. To add special characters to your titles, all you need to do is put a little extra code beside the words or between them to add special characters in your title.

The technical term is “ASCII Symbol”, if you use some of the corresponding ASCII codes below in your Craigslist ad titles, you too can have your ads stand out from the masses.

Visit a website that displays ASCII character symbols. Sites that provide this information include FSymbols.com, W3Schools.com and ASCII-Code.com. Or you can just use the chart at the bottom of the page.

Select the image you want to display, right click it, copy it and paste it into notepad, or what ever text editor our using to store your ads. The code should then become visible. There is also a reference chart at the bottom of this tutorial.

So for instance, the Craigslist title,
▶ ▶ my Craigslist ▶ ▶ ad title! ▶ ▶

will convert to

▶▶my Craigslist ▶▶ ad title! ▶▶

A quick way to build a library of special symbols that you can use on Craigslist is to copy multiple symbols that you find on the Web and paste them into a text document. You can then grab any symbol from that document and paste it into a Craigslist post whenever you need it.
You can add special symbols to the body of your Craigslist post as well. For instance, you might want to post a line of heart symbols horizontally across the page to create a separator between sections in the ad.
You can paste ASCII symbols into the body of your post, make them stand out even more although using HTML to increase the font size or even change their color in no longer supported by Craigslist, just yesbackpage.de

Double space your entire ad

Here is how to get a space above and a space below your ad in Firefox, and some other browsers, there are several different symbols that do this, but your competition might catch on quick and do it too. So I make it look incidental, and part of a word. Post this in your title, and watch what happens in Firefox to your listing.

Our unique ads may very well have once been the best of Craigslist, and use all of the once available built in features nicely and draw much attention. The problem was, people are jealous and stupid sometimes. Too stupid to make their own fancy picture, too jealous of something really cool and neat you made. These tips therefore sometimes work against you in the battle to keep your ad live. If your a big spammer.. Craigslist can single you out for using anything in your post out of the ordinary. They have just completed their changeover to their new layout, and they have done away with the img, tables, and links in the general for sale ahd housing sections. However, you can still use all of this information in the other sections and on sites like yesbackpage.de. Much of this information is still relevant to Craigslist for titles and SEO.

SEO Considerations

This part describes how to increase your website traffic by using Craigslist in search engine optimization and website promotion to boost your website’s search engine performance. Posting well-written ads on Craigslist is free and will get you extra traffic, in addition to boosting the search engine performance of the pages you link to. Inbound links are vital in SEO, and you can make your own search-engine destiny by creating Craigslist ads that contain links to your website. This lens also describes a viable

Have you noticed how well Craigslist advertisements do in the Google search results? Well-written, substantial Craigslist ads tend to rank very highly in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). There are two reasons for this, both directly related to search engine optimization (AKA SEO):

* Craigslist uses very simple HTML code, which means that if your post has at least 100 words, it will have a high content-to-code ratio. Producing web pages with a high content-to-code ratio is one of the fundamental principles of SEO copy writing;

* Craigslist has a very high Page Rank, which means that its ads are indexed quickly and taken seriously by Google and other search engines.

Additionally, virtually all ads on Craigslist are two or three clicks away from the home page, which is another important requirement of search engine optimization.

All of this amounts to the fact that a well-written, search-engine-optimized post of between 100 and 700 words on Craigslist is likely to appear on the first page of Google’s search results. This is amazing news, because it means that if your website is very young you can use Craigslist’s Page Rank to start getting some traffic. You will not get any Page Rank from your Craigslist ad, but you will get a huge boost in the search engine results, which is what really matters. I have successfully used this technique to make pages with PR0 (Page Rank 0) appear at the top of the Google search results. The pages were useful, well-written and search-engine-optimized.

The even better news is that when you include links pointing to your website in your Craigslist posts, Google takes those links extremely seriously, substantially boosting the ranking of the link’s target page. This happens despite the fact that Craigslist automatically adds the rel=nofollow tag to any links you include in your post. For all these reasons, Craigslist is an incredibly powerful tool in search engine optimization. Making money with Craigslist is realistic.

So how exactly do we write a Craigslist ad that will rank highly on Google and also boost the ranking of the page it links to? The answer is effective search engine optimization. Craigslist allows the use of HTML in its ads and for this reason you can think of Craigslist as your source of free, high-ranking pages.

Another Craigslist SEO secret

Make the ad substantial and well-written, but shorter and less useful than its target page. In this way the target page will rank higher than the Craigslist ad.

Results tend to be better if you put your link at the beginning of the ad rather than at the end. It is also absolutely vital that the link is part of a proper sentence or paragraph – links that are isolated tend to be discounted by Google. Links that are not part of a sentence have very little SEO value!

The topic of the Craigslist ad should be the same as that of the page you are linking to. In other words, the Craigslist ad should be a lighter, slightly watered-down version of the page you want to promote.

Of course you should follow the terms of use of Craigslist, and should not do anything spammy, antisocial or unethical. Posting high-quality, search-engine-optimized ads every once in a while will work wonders for your website. The key is to post in the small business ads section, as people will tend to leave your ads alone and it will be unlikely that malicious users will flag you out of spite or envy.

The h1 tag

h1 tag is vital to the SEO success of your online ads

It is not enough to just write a good ad – you need to use a little HTML too. (yesbackpage.de)

You should put the title of the posting in the main ad too – not just in the title field – and you must put it between h1 tags. This will give your ad a huge edge in the search engines.

Craigslist automatically puts the title in the TITLE field between h2 tags, but that is not enough if you want to get ahead in a competitive industry: you need to put your own h1 title in the main body IN ADDITION to the one in the title field.

With yesbackpage.de you should do the opposite: put an h2 title in the main body, because yesbackpage puts the title in the TITLE field in h1 tags (surely a more logical approach than that of Craigslist.)

More generally, you should use classical SEO principles when producing your ad copy, and take full advantage of the HTML that Craigslist allows: bold, italics, underline, etc. You should employ all the tricks in tried-and-true SEO copy writing.

This will ensure that your ad’s appearance on Google’s first page will be by design rather than by accident.

How to include a website link in a Craigslist ad

The HTML code once used to embed a website link in a Craigslist ad, now for Craigslist Jobs sections, or yesbackpage.de only.

Of course the whole point of this exercise is to post a Craigslist ad that has a link to your website. It is absolutely vital that you do not use “click here” as the anchor text.

Here is the code you need to produce a link that says “MY WEBSITE”:

<a href=”http://www.craigsflaggerpro.com”>MY WEBSITE</a>

1. Type the code exactly as shown above, but use the URL of your destination page in between the quotation marks – We used our URL as an example.

2. Also, remember to substitute the words MY WEBSITE for whatever keywords you are targeting. For example, if the link points to a page that is about search engine optimization, use “search engine optimization” as the anchor text.

Craigslist no longer allows links to be inserted in most sections except job posting categories – If you post an ad with a link in the remaining other categories – like the personals, for example – the ad will be ghosted (it will not appear on the site), and if it is not ghosted, malicious users will flag it and it will be deleted, even if it is a perfectly genuine and non-spam ad.

Extra plugins and tools

We have collected a variety of Firefox Add-ons to make ad creation a snap. Each of these is tested for compatibility with our Craigslist software, and features additional Firefox enhancements such as, URL shortner, Open in Photoshop shortcut, & an Emoji Keyboard. You can find these and many other Add-ons in our Bonus Software page.

To Summarize

This is an excellent way to get a new page of content indexed quickly by Google. When you upload a new article on your website you should link to it from your homepage and you should also produce a search-engine-optimized Craigslist ad for it. Since Craigslist is crawled so frequently by the Google bot and other search engine spiders, your article will also be spidered and indexed quickly.

You will also benefit from the synergistic effect of the Craigslist ad: in addition to boosting the search engine performance of your page, the ad itself can get you a lot of business and traffic through direct click-throughs. In other words, you are catching two birds with one stone.

Reasons to post on yesbackpage.de as well

Yes, we are all about Craigslist here, but this is focusing a little on the seo advantage you can gain from them, and when it comes down to it, we are all about advantage here. We want one, we need one to get ahead in business.For a little extra effort, you can make use of the free seo benefit of yesbackpage.de as well. This is much more important now that Craigslist has banned html, links and img tags in most of their sections.

1. Other things being equal, ads posted on yesbackpage.de do just as well in the search engines as those posted on Craigslist, if not better.

2. yesbackpage.de does not have Craigslist’s flagging problem. If you post on yesbackpage.de, no one will flag you. No one will bother you. No one will sabotage you. And there is no ghosting, either.

3. yesbackpage.de does not require an account with telephone verification.

4. yesbackpage.de does not have the sanctimonious attitude of Craigslist.

5. yesbackpage.de still allows image ads, html, and links to be posted in all of their sections.
