After several down days and with some effort we have in one day more than made up our deficit in Alexa rankings. We still have a long way to go. I managed this by Tweeting and doing some work on Digg, Stumble and some obsure other SM marketing. Today I will go back to Posturous, Tweet some more and if I have time, I will check out some of the Alexa Tools.
I have decided to incorporate some images from The Yap Yap OK web site into my blog, since this is the very essence of how I promote my website. Appeal to as many senses as possible, ooohhh except sound as that can be a big no no at work!
Most classified websites are unappealing on the eye. Text ensures search engine popularity but at the cost of visual stimulation. So having picture galleries and video creates its own issues in getting recognised when the competition is so vast.
We aim to challange this methodogy by working harder to enable our customers to utilise a more stimulating, easy to use classified web site. Our success will turn ordinary classified web sites on their heads.
What makes us so special? Unlike most text orientated classifieds we are picture orientated. Sales requires more stimulus than text alone. That is why television adverts are historically so much more expensive than publications.
All our icons and your pictures have drop down text with a short description and price. This means that your customers can search for items quicker and only drill down if they have established an interest in your product. This should greatly reduce the time they spend on the search. We believe that this will encourage buyers back over and over again!
We also have shop hosting where a business can list all there items in one or multiple shops. This is unlike any other classifieds and enables easy navigation for our users and easy management of products and services for the vendors.
On some ads you may notice embed You Tube video under the 6 picture gallery. This is a free tool which enables anyone selling a product or service to show case their products or services in a dynamic way. Many music, films, games, toys, cars and franchises have a You Tube video to support and promote their products.
To use You Tube video to support your ad:-
1 Find the You Tube video you wish to promote your product. If you wish to use the manufactures, own follow the search by promotion or promo.
2 See the embed code in a box to the right of the video and under the URL box address!
3 Copy and paste this link directly in to the text box on the video tab of the editor listing when adding your classified.
4 If you wish to edit your ad & link the video later then its easy. You don't even need to go through your classifieds. If you are logged in then you can edit the ad when you are viewing it.
We also have a multi wishlist option so that buyers can easily organise & find items that they have searched for or they can generate present lists for any occasion.
I think that sets us aside from most sites!
