classified sites
DESCRIPTION
Classified sites are an unappreciated and underused marketing resource available to any business or service. Free for the most part, many classified sites will allow you to use HTML coding to post a live graphic link to your website, video or other online location. Because classified sites are typically free, you can post several versions of your ad, being very specific with your title and descriptions. Instead of offering "doors for sale" you can and should specify "French Doors" or "Eight panel doors" or "solid wood doors." this type of very specific description WILL get picked up by search engines.
