Copywriting and Craigslist: Could this go down as one of the best ads ever?

A friend of mine, sent me this funny posting off of Craigslist.org.

If you are a serious marketer, you’ll know the power of posting up ads for craigslist and how popular and profitable Craigslist can be for generating real leads.

Also, if you are a serious marketer, you’ll understand how important it is to write pursuasive copy in your ads that compells people to take action.

Here is one, that I think goes down in the "Best Ads of All Time" catagory. It’s passionate, it’s funny and it definitely has garnered a lot of attention, as many people have blogged about it, and now I have too, but, learn from this.

How can you craft an ad about your product or service with this much passion and hype to get people to notice you? Should you even go that far? Is this type of marketing pushing the envelope of what is acceptable or is it just the right kind of ad that matches the product he is offering…

 Here are 3 free tips about marketing your warez on www.craigslist.org.

 Tip #1

Post you links in FORIEGN Countries. Why? When you post in San Francisco, for example, there are over 100 posts a DAY and your post will fall off the page in a matter of hours and not been seen.

Why?

People usually don’t click to see what is on page 2 postings. So you HAVE to be on page 1.

When you post in spots like Bangalore, India – http://bangalore.craigslist.org/biz/, or Dublin, Ireland – http://dublin.craigslist.org/biz/, your posts will be on page one for MONTHS. AND, if you put some good search engine optimized phrases as the subject line, you’ll find that post in the search engines for months ranking highly. I recently found a post I did for Coastal Vacations on PAGE 1 of google for a very popular search phrase!

An Orange 3 letter symbol that will make your www.Craigslist.org Ads Stick!

I like good free advertising tools.

Everyone does right?

Have you ever used http://www.craigslist.org/ to post any ads online?

Do you think online classifieds are so… 1998? Don’t work anymore?

Think again, cause there is a goldmine in Craigslist and you can be taking advantage of it today.

Go there, pick your city area closest to you. For this example, since I am in the small business services, I want you to look at the area on craigslist where it says…

“sm biz ads”

It’s usually under “services” at the bottom of the page, in the middle section.

Here is a picture.

Now, as you look through the ads, you get the idea. People are posting their biz opps there, services there, and other things, and there are actually 1000′s of people looking here everyday for solutions.
