Imminent New Development

YapYapOK Free Classifieds Google Page 1

We are delighted to be moving forward in affiliation with some of the "Big Boys".  This will vastly increase the variety of products available for customers looking for products and services.

Additionally we are having some major development regarding the input of content currently under the control of the advertiser.  This is for the benefit of all advertisers wishing to utilise a free advertising portal.  Currently too many users circumvent the  YapYapOK Free Classifieds monitisation method.  If we continue to allow this then we will not be able to offer a free advertising medium as it is now.  Other comparable sites use premium adverts or require paid membership of the user to view recent adverts in order to make a profit. On the YapYapOK Free Classifieds all adverts are premium once they are saved onto the front page then gradually displaced as new ads are uploaded.  

We wanted to be able to offer a free for all system iradicating the need for payment.  We do that by converting UK phone numbers into 070 numbers aka personal numbers.  Whilst these are more expensive than normal rate phones, they do not fall into the premium rate category.  Budget aware clients can keep the cost down by being concise with their calls.

We hope that by offering a totally Free Ads portal that suppliers will be able to offer products and services at a discount to compensate the cost of the call.  This way sellers are happy, customers get bargains and we can continue to operate in the same way that we have been doing for the last 18 months - Free!

YapYapOK Free ADs - creating a fair, transparent operating policy for all!

Get The YapYap App!

YapYapOK Page 1 Google - Free Classifieds

The YapYapOK Free Ads android app is here.

You can click on YapYapOK@AppBrain to download it FREE!  There is a choice of 2 options, either direct access to the YapYapOK Free Ads website or you can go to Twitter to see all the latest Free Classifieds Tweeted.

We are currently busy integrating another business on the Free Ads site - hence the lack of blogging.   This will require more link building but we can't start until its firmly in place due to the content being absent.  Content must be relevant to the pages linked to the keywords to avoid search engine penalty.  Consequently we require an almighty push at launch which should appear natural.

So keep checking back for some great new changes and exciting new content.

Choosing Your Free Ads

YapYapOK Free Ads is getting thousands of hits every day.

 

Many adverts are getting viewed by organic search engine traffic, coming on the top of google in the search engine results.  So why do we come up so often before websites specialising in these items? 


Simple.  Free Classifieds listing sites have so much competition since there is no real unique niche.  Consequently  Free Ads sites have to be well optimised with ongoing SEO.  Any Free Ads site appearing on the first page of Google is well optimised.


Clearly this is a generalisation.  Well established sites generally position well anyway but maybe not so well with individual adverts.  So how can you differentiate between the top Free Classifieds websites.  Quite easily actually.  Browse the site for an ad and click on it, check the url - if the url has the title or advert name contained in it then it will easily read by the search engines.  If there is lots of code and numbers then that makes it harder to be spotted due to the association with of the keyword used in search engine queries.


I have read numerous articles on the relevance of url titles.  Having worked on many sites now I can conclude that sites which have keywords in the url feature above others even when they are very new.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing and if we had the benefit of this knowledge earlier the url would have been www.YapYapOKFreeAds.co.uk.  Consequently to rank well we needed precise meta data, matching site content as well as a massive link campaign involving directories, social bookmarks, article writing all anchor text rich.


The proof is in the pudding. We are now first page of Google for our main keywords and nearly always at pole position.  

 

So if you have a property to sell, a shop or if you just want a clear out – advertise it on the YapYapOK Free Classifieds.  Your buyer may be just a click away!
