Back To Basics

YapYapOK Free Classifieds  229k Alexa Google Page 1

Other work as well as an inconsistent internet connection means that I have been unable to devote much time to the blog.

I am currently working on 2 other sites which have been launched within a couple of weeks of each other.  Its so exciting to see so much movement so early on is possible with a new site.

Alexa ratings are jumping hundreds of thousands at  time seeing both sites at a approximately 3.5 million ( both over 4 yesterday), little work is required to see this.  The firts thing to do is download the Alexa toolbar and keep the tabs of both sites on.  

The meta data has been updated to contain keywords, the urls were chosen to reflect the keywords and the content matches on the home page.  These fundamentals give the sites a great chance to be spotted by the search engines.

A  link campaign will follow to kick start the sites to make the search engines take notice.

Its exciting to be back at the beginning of  web sites knowing that the SEO I have learnt can be implemented relatively quickly & cheaply by outsourcing much of it to Fiverr.

I will be responsible for articles, and content as well as blogs and keyword anchors.

Free Classifieds Christmas Ideas

YapYapOK Free Classifieds 225k Alexa Page 1 Google

There have been so many new adverts that it has been a little difficult to choose which to blog about.

However as an animal lover I was drawn to these.  I am fascinated with snakes and these are particularly cute.  They are Piebald Pythons and Albino Ball Pythons.  Much as I admire them I doubt I could keep them as pets, I am much more of a dog and cat keeper.

As a golf widow and the wife of the most difficult husband to buy gifts for I also favor this golf club groove sharpener called Groovefix, a brilliant gift for golfers at only £14.99.

A truely unique advert for those who believe in the power of positive energy is the one for the Reiki Healing Circle.  

Whatever your looking for, there are some excellent innovative gift ideas available now.

Invisalign

YapYapOK Free Classifieds 224k Alexa Page 1 Google

Last night I got caught in a bidding frenzy on Ebay.  I love Ebay, I love the rush and the exhilaration of the win.  Sadly that was not the case last night.  Having lost out on 2 recent auctions where I was the highest bidder but the reserve was not met, I decided to purchase my item through the Free Classifieds listings elsewhere.

Ebay definitely has its place, not least for the fun.  I just didn't have the extra 4 days 7 hours and 32 minutes to wait for the next auction where I may or may not be successful. 

The big advantage for me with my new method of buying was that I am not obligated, I will not receive negative feedback should the deal not go ahead, forever tarnished as an impossible buyer!

I love looking at the website first thing in the morning to see what new ads have appeared over night.  This is one of the more innovative ones for Invisalign in London.  Invisalign is a discrete, painless and invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners. Whether teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, Invisalign doctor will help you gain a straight, confident smile.

Home to Let Birmingham

YapYapOK Free Classifieds Alexa 226k Page 1 Google

Population of newer Free Classifieds can be difficult at launch.  The obvious advantage of being on Page 1 Google means that the process is automatic.  Users see the name over and over again and the branding becomes easy.

I don't ever recall any of the major sites doing any kind of advertising campaign, outside of adwords.  Its simply search engine placement.  Of course getting on Page 1 is hard work and takes massive dedication.  Once the site is optimised its easy for the adverts themselves to do well in the searches.  Our stats now show more results based on the adverts themselves then on the main keywords - very encouraging.

We like property ads since they are well searched.  This one for a 3 bedroom property to let in Erdington.  There are front and back gardens, gardens and the house is well equipped - all for £600 a month.

Massage Anyone?

YapYapOK Free Classifieds Alexa 229k Page 1 Google

I adore having a massage, as long as its with someone I know and trust.  I was lucky enough to have 2 very good friends train as masseurs at different times.  Each time I was the instrument of their training.  Maybe this is why this ad for a light portable massage table appeals so much.

Or maybe its because its pink?

You can forget the high spec super lightweight with dimensions here, only 11 kg.  The colour is just fab.

Sadly both my masseuse friends do not live nearby.   I am sure that there husbands are the reciprocators of their talents now.  Anyway for a brief moment I was able to reminisce about lying semi naked in front of the fire whilst covered in herbal oils,  hence the trust and knowledge of orientation!

Optimising Individual Ads

YapYapOK Free Classifieds 230k Alexa Page 1 Google

Free UK Classifieds continues to be on page 1 for Google.com and .co.uk.  Free Classifieds remains on page 1 in the UK and has climbed to the top of page 3 for .com  That means that there are only 11 places to go to be on the front page for our main keyword.

I have once gain used Fiverr for SEO services so this may result in a temporary drop whilst Google indexes the links.  I also need to write another article for spinning.

Many advertisers are advertising on YapYapOK over and over again.  Very often advertisers post on free classifieds sites to test the viability of the site. Re advertising is a strong sugestion that its working.

YapYapOK Free Classifieds sends all ads to a Twitter feed, not only is the advert available to all the thousands of followers but also to relevent Twitter feeds now incorporated on many websites.  This puts the adverts directly in front of the targetted market.  For example pet ads on animal websites.  This means that the market that the advertiser is appealing to and often unique is replicated on may pages on the web.  This exposure increases the opportunity of selling online.

Of course we do not rest on our laurels, we try to further enhance the advert by randomly picking and blogging about them.  The major benefit of this is the SEO, by creating an anchor text link of the advert we increase the chances of the adverts search engine rankings.  Since YapYapOK is well optimised with title urls and excellent SERP, it does not rely so much on the casual browser.

For example this advert for London second Hand Furniture not only points Google to the advert in the search results, but the url  contains the title of the ad with the avertisers keywords - http://www.yapyapok.co.uk/ClassifiedView/3347-london-second-hand-furniture-chesterfield-sofas-retro-chesterfield-from-189-at-london-bargains.aspx.

Google sees the keywords and the matching content and points to the page in search results.  Since the title with a back link is fed to Twitter, this creates another reinforcing link seen to be relevant to the search engines.

Video Adverts

YapYapOK Free Classifieds 231k Alexa Page 1 Google

Our SERP is seeing an enormous increase in traffic, registrations and adverts.

Its particularly nice to see more and more advertisers using the embed video linking.  This advert which appeared over night for Jamaican Tours is nice in its simplicity.  The personal touch is a good seller and may swing it with his competitors,

I also really like the advert for personalized songs.  This is the second advert from this guy I like the idea of surprising someone with a unique gift at an affordable price.  Prices start at just £5.99 up to £19.99.  Mike Collins utilises the embed video so its clear what your buying into.

I have a someone special 70th birthday coming up next month, since this is the most difficult man to buy for then I am seriously considering this gift.  I just need to get hold of a few digital pics to send on.
