The Realities of Bulletin Boards
Exploring the Dynamics of Bulletin Board Traffic
Bulletin boards can attract significant daily traffic, but driving that traffic to your own site and converting it into sales is challenging. While there are techniques to help, they often don't improve sales outcomes. This article examines the dynamics at play on bulletin boards daily.
Understanding Craig's List
Craig's List is a well-known bulletin board with a wide variety of options, each drawing different audiences with unique motivations.
When aiming to sell a product, attracting untargeted traffic isn't effective. Targeted visitors are more likely to convert, making it essential to focus on attracting highly targeted traffic. For instance, 100 targeted visitors can generate as many sales as 1,000 untargeted ones.
High-Traffic Categories
While exact statistics are unavailable, categories like "Women Looking for Men" and "Employment and Gigs" likely generate the most traffic. However, posting here for traffic's sake can lead to misrepresentation.
In an experiment detailed on my website, I posted ads in the Gigs section suggesting I needed a Joomla facelift and a professional copywriter?"neither were true, but they generated traffic without any real benefit.
Finding the Right Audience
Posting in the Services section offers a more relevant opportunity but comes with its own challenges. With thousands of similar posts, your ad can quickly be buried. Only a small portion of the traffic actively seeks the services offered, while the rest likely consists of other service providers.
Strategic Posting in High-Traffic Areas
Is there a way to post in high-traffic areas while attracting genuinely interested visitors? It's possible, but it requires changing the visitor's mindset. People in these sections are often looking to earn, not spend. If your business helps others succeed, like Tactical Execution, there are opportunities to explore.
For example, your post in the Gigs section could highlight how Tactical Execution's marketing strategies can quickly build credibility and exposure. This approach caters to job seekers while aligning them with your product or service.
Ongoing Testing and Strategy
While I haven't tested this approach yet, I'm considering it for the weekend. It's a matter of testing and finding strategies that deliver the best results. Tactical Execution is dedicated to exploring these tactics, with commentary on the website about various tested strategies.
By understanding and leveraging the dynamics of bulletin boards, businesses can potentially reach the right audience and achieve better outcomes.
