More Marketing

August 12, 2009 by Scott Costello · View Comments

I’m not quite getting the results I was hoping for with the craigslist and backpage marketing. On average I’ve been getting about 2 hits per day from craigslist and 0 from backpage. In fact I’ve yet to get 1 single View on backpage so go figure. Here are the current stats

	Craigslist			Backpage
Ad Type	Views	Clicks	C/V	Views	Clicks	C/V
Picture	85	0	0%	1	0	0%
Article	99	4	4%	1	0	0%
Extended	6	5	83%	1	0	0%
Link	5	0	0%	1	0	0%

After a few days I was noticing that the Extended ad was never being viewed, or at least being registered as being viewed. I took a look and found that I placed the wrong tracking image in the ad so it wasn’t registering any views. That is why the stats are way off (6 views 5 clicks). I’m going to have to reset the counts to make sure I’m going to get accurate data. Also I’m going to take out the Link ad because it is not seeing any love.

It also might be a good idea to start keeping track of which headings i’m using. The heading is what makes someone “view” an ad so from here on out I’m going to be tracking the following Headers.

In Foreclosure? The Secret to getting out
5 Ways to Get out of Foreclosure
What the banks don’t want you to know about foreclosure
Must Read if you are Nearing Foreclosure

if anyone has any other ideas for a heading or has one that works leave a comment.

So to sum up what I’m going to keep track of…
