How to:
Tips For Successful Ad Placement at The Aquarium Classifieds
|
 |
Make your title short but descriptive. Try to avoid words like "must see", "wow". No buyers would search for these words. Use common keywords related to the placement category and your item, which buyers might use during the search. |
 |
Attach at least one image to your classified. Ads with attached images usually attract more attention from buyers. Show off your item by attaching up to 2 images. If you have an online image, then provide a URL link to it during ad placement. Note: An online image will not have a thumbnail view on an ad display page. |
