Ad Running Services - Craigslist and Willamette Week Advertising

Northwest eSource successfully utilizes ad posting on Craigslist.org and Willamette Week (wweek.com) in our advertising efforts and for our clients. Ask us for examples! 

How does it work?

The two sites are similar in that they both offer FREE POSTING of business advertisements. We create and post advertisements for your company as a paid service. We run 1 ad per day on both websites, a total of two advertisements per day, for as little as $1.33 per ad.

The ads we create are not just text, they are graphic ads modeled after your website using the same images and similar content.

Who sees your ads?

2 sets of people will see your ads:

a.  Visitors to and searchers of the site the ads are posted on will see it.

- For Craigslist, this is a GIANT bargain-hunting, tech savvy crowd.  They are used to finding the least expensive guy on Craigslist for services, and they will be happiest if the deal you offer is a remarkable value and is exactly what they are looking for.

- For Willamette Week, this is a much smaller tech savvy, forward thinking, progressive crowd.

b. People who search on Google will see it.

- The ads, if designed right, will end up on Google for your key terms because these sites get so many hits per day already they have tremendous click popularity.

- When we post our SEARCH KEYWORD OPTIMIZED ads on their websites, Google finds it. If it is designed right, often its assigned search value will be higher than your own primary website and/or those of your competitors.

How will the ads direct clients?
You have some options as it is your advertisement.  We generally link the ads to your company website, and try to direct traffic there since it is/should be your best marketing.

How much is the CL / WW Ad Running Service?

For our month-to-month ad running service with no committment, we charge $200 per month, with a $250 setup fee. As you commit to a longer term and prepay, you can reduce your costs significantly - all the way down to $80 per month or $1.33 per ad.
