Over the last few years I have been postingmore and more free classified ads. The problems I have run into is traffic and having my ads taken down by flagging. I decided to attempt the stumblehere classified ad syndication. Stumblehere.com has made syndication of classified ads the primary focus of their site.

What is online classified 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 you to post 95 or more free classified ads?

Stumblehere.com can save you time and money. Enter your ads once and watch them spread automatically to some of the highest trafficked search sites on the Internet. They automatically syndicate and post your ad to over 100 separate top classified ad directories, online marketplaces, search engines and RSS Feeds. This will save you hours upon hours of personal time. Once submitted, your ad will show live on the other sites within 24 – 48 hours.

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 my ads daily cause a competitor maliciously flags my ad. Okay I am sold!

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.

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 ads for you so you do not have to make multiple ad placements yourself!

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 wonderful.

This is my first time paying for an online classified ad. After 9 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 8 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 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.

3 days after my post I had 5 calls and 8 emails! To answer my above question, I know classified ad syndication works! It was sooo easy and I only needed to submit my ad once. And it was not brought down from someone flagging it cause they were selling a similar car, etc.
