Getting the Most from your Free Ads

Get the most from your Ad at TheCoolAds.com

On the Internet, many things happen in the Background with Search engines.
They pretty much decide how good a page is, what traffic to send or if it is worth even including it in the index.

All determined by a thing called SEO (search engine optimisation) which can be helped by following a few simple rules.

A few things you can do to help your Ad are:

Relevant, Concise and have a few words that people may search for (that are relevant to the ad content)
Make the Title around 6 to 8 words long, Relevant, Concise and have a few words or a phrase that people may search for.
Make proper sentences, with phrases that are similar or have the same meaning as that used in the title.

Elaborate more on the detail of what your ad is about.

Think of phrases people might search to find what you offer.
Put as much as possible into the Ad main content that is relevant.

Images in an Ad

When uploading images, it would be better to name them something relevant to what they are. often pictures have meaningless numbers or letters produced by your camera or phone. When our site gets a new picture it takes the name and uses it for description.

So, if it was ‘DSC0001010’ for instance, it will end up with a description of  ‘DSC0001010’. Not particularly helpful.

If it is called ‘black-BMW-3-series.jpg’ it will be changed to ‘black BMW 3 series’ as a description.

Much more helpful on the internet and for SEO with Google and other search engines.

LOCATION – Why the UK might not be your best choice

Because of the way our site works, Putting UK as your location might not be your best choice.
If you choose UK as your location, only people who look at UK ads through location will see your Ad.
So let’s say you place an Ad in England. It would appear under UK & England searches (for location).
If you were to place an Ad in Islington (Greater London).
Your Ad would be found under Islington, Greater London, England and UK searches.
So a better way to make sure you get seen is to put as close an area to where your Ad is relevant to receive more views.
Note: This does not Effect if people search for words and phrases within your Ad or go to Categories

As for Categories, the most relevant one will always help people find it much easier.
