YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds 187k UK Free Ads 24k

When you have an internet business, any down time on the computer is a waste of resource.  After all we pay fixed broadband every month.  The only way we can achieve a more efficient operating system is by the 3 of us working 3 straight 8 hour shifts.  Since that would involve my 9 year old son then we may be in a little trouble. 

Consequently I tend to get on the computer early and work right through until my eyes hurt (not complaining) or my husband takes over.  I have developed the art of delegation and he has drawn the short straw of directory submissions.  No I am not being cruel, its just not that long ago he was a total technophobe and whilst he mastered the art of Facebook, everything else was desperately lacking.

We have noticed that when you enter UK Free Classifieds into Google we are being placed at page 6.  If you enter Free UK Classifieds we are coming out on page 3.

Popular reasoning suggests that much past page 2 does not get a look in.  However this is a very generic search term in a highly competitive industry.  Enter Free Classifieds and shop hosting, then this more specific phrase favours YapYapOK, nearly always coming on the top of page one.

Its the same when a search term is used for one of the Free Ads on the site, we are much better placed.  So if someone is looking for a specific item, do they browse all the FREE Classifieds.  I seriously doubt it.  More likely they are going to enter the item name into Google.  Since all titles of every free classified is fed into Twitter then between YapYapOK and/or Twitter our results end up very close to the top of the page. 

So if you have something to sell, and if someones looking, then put it on the YapYapOK UK Free Classifieds!
