FreeAdLists.com officially launched 15 months ago and has experienced substantial growth in the free classifieds space. The site is aggressively attempting to mitigate the impact of scammers and spammers.
Now they are focusing on the quality of classified ads being posted. With free ads sites, the common belief is the more ads there is the better, right? Not really. For the site operator, this type of mentality ultimately leads to the degradation of site quality and allows scammers/spammers to quickly overrun a site. As you know, classified ad sites, as well as many other types of sites on the web, can easily become unruly and problematic if the site operators do not practice due diligence with regard to classified ad management. Site ad management can be especially difficult if the screening process is lacking; thus allowing almost anyone to make posts without first validating the type of material being posted. FreeAdLists.com, however, is very active in screening for scam ads. This makes the website much more useful to potential posters. Scheming classified ads such as chain letters, stuffing envelopes, typing at home scams, etc are routinely screened and managed by site operators. Although this is a time consuming task, the results to the posters are too beneficial to simply ignore. Additionally, the FreeAdLists community can help police by flagging suspicious classified ads. As a result of this stringent site ad management, the FreeAdLists site operators have been getting numerous emails from customers inquiring about their classified ads that seemed to have vanished. These customers are advised of the ad screening process and in most cases, they cease to spam or scam again. To increase the likelihood of classified ad placement, FreeAdLists customers are advised to follow five basic etiquette rules when using the site. First, never use the same ad title more than once. Secondly, never use keyword stuffing in the classified ad description. Thirdly, never cross post your classified ads in different categories. Fourth, avoid posting classified ads that promote illegal/hate, warez, wallpaper, and splog links. And lastly, go ahead and flag classified ads that are obvious scams but please flag with care. |
