Lots of web site owners are using classified ad affiliate programs to tap new markets and give their visitors a reason to return. Whenever you give your prospects a reason to return to your website, you have additional opportunities to earn their trust…and their business.

You place a link to your classified ads site using appropriate keywords for your market (”Free BMW Ads”, “Hot Rod Classifieds,” “New Car Ads,” etc.). Engines like Google just love these types of links, and including these key words will inevitably improve your ranking for exactly the type of buyer you want to attract to your web pages. Greater visibility means better traffic.

Here’s an added benefit. When your site guests post classified ads, they are presented with an offer to upgrade their free ad with enhancements (feature ads, color, bolded listing, etc). This sets their advertisement apart from the other ads and gains better exposure for them. Most classified ad programs will pay you a percentage (usually 10-25%) of the upgrade cost.

Do you have your own web site? Incorporate this dynamic WordPress classifieds theme to generate your very own free classifieds site and earn all of the commissions for yourself. You might choose to give away free classifieds or charge a small fee as your visitors post ads to buy and sell their products on your web site - you set the terms. Simply attach a WordPress blog to your existing web site, apply this theme, and you’re ready to go. You’ve just added another income stream for your website.

By joining and incorporating a free classifieds affiliate program into your web pages, you create the ultimate win-win-win. You provide your guests with a free value-added benefit, you improve your rankings with the search engines by incorporating keyword backlinks into your site, you attract additional markets to expose to your product, you create an additional revenue stream as they upgrade their ads, and you give your prospects a reason to return to your site again and again.
