Free classified ad sites are a great way to market your business, products, services, charity events, affiliate programs, and home businesses. What makes a good or even a great free classified ad site? There are a number of important things that contribute to this and just a few items that can make the difference between a poor free classified site and a great one. Below is a list of requirements that make things easy to browse of post a classified.

• The pages load quickly and easily. As with any website loading time is important. If it tales a long time for a site to completely load a visitor may switch gears and head to an alternate website. Speed is king.

• Easy navigation. Can you quickly find how to view or post free classified ads? Or is everything kind of muddled in an endless web of advertisements? It’s great to have ads on the page, that’s how free classified sites support themselves, but if the ads interfere with navigation around the site it will definitely frustrate a shopper or someone wanting to place a classified.

• Is your email address public? Shame on you if you publish your email address in a free classified ad. Spammers love that. A good classified ad site will require that you give them your email address but will not publish it or require that you make it public. Generally it is masked in a contact form that gives the email of the free classified site. Customers that have questions about your ad will not see it until you are ready to reveal it.

• Is there a clickable link for your website and is the link free? For affiliate advertisers and advertisers that have an online business a clickable link to their website is important. Free classified ads should be like bird dogs. They should point to your website. Your website is where the meat and potatoes are, not the classified ad. A clickable link is a definite must for a free classified ad site to be good.

• Is the clickable link a good link that the search engines will count as a backlink to your website? There are two basic types of links. A “nofollow” link is an active link. When you click on it your website will appear. However the “nofollow” designation tells search engines not to pay any attention to the link. Links are the lifeblood of any website. They are one of the best ways to increase the ranking of your website or pages. A high quality free classified ad site gives the “dofollow” clickable links.

Images are what helps a classified ad get views. Without an image in an ad the odds of getting a click go down considerably. Any free classified ad site worth its salt included free images.

• Does the free classified ad form give a reasonable amount of room for the ad description? It’s true that a classified ad should not be a book. The pertinent information should be included. However if a classified ad site limits you to 50 or even a hundred words you may not have enough space to write an effective classified ad. The space allowed should be enough for at least 200 words.

• Can the ads be edited or deleted at any time. The person who places a free classified ad should have the flexibility to change the ad or delete it whenever they want.

• Is the ad site family friendly? If anyone can view an ad rated above PG13 the site there should be a disclaimer saying so on the front page of the site.

Preschool, Snack Day and Peanut Allergies

My daughter’s preschool teacher sent home a memo the first week of school to let all of the parents know that one of the children in the class has a severe allergy to peanuts. We were supposed to keep this in mind for when it was our turn to provide the class treats each week. I had never had to deal with a food allergy in my family, so this was completely new to me.

When it was my snack week, I went crazy trying to find something that would cause this child to have an allergic reaction. I am shocked at how many products without peanuts have warnings that they may have come into contact with peanuts at some point. However, I ended up picking out some treats that didn’t adversely affect the child and everything was fine.

We have a few allergies in my family that I am always keeping in the back of my mind. I am allergic to penicillin, which has become much milder as I’ve gotten older. Of course, that doesn’t affect me on a daily basis. My husband is allergic to cats. I had two cats when I first met him and he neglected to tell me this. Once we were married, he couldn’t hide his allergic reaction anymore. I found him sneezing hysterically one day when I returned home from work.

Oddly enough, he loves cats; he just gets a stuffy allergic reaction to them. We’ve kept the cats as family members; I simply spend more time ensuring that there isn’t as much cat hair around to irritate his allergies. My daughter is allergic to bees. It didn’t take long, after one stung her as a baby, to determine that she was having an allergic reaction to the sting. She developed a rash within minutes and started to swell. As scary as it was, we have been dealing with it for 4 years now and know how to properly handle the situation if and when it arises.

There are so many things in the world that cause an allergic reaction in so many different people and countries; it makes it difficult to narrow down the causes. Whether it is an allergy to an animal or to a food, everyone experiences their allergic reaction in different ways. You can’t always cater to every type of allergic reaction or allergy that may cross your path, but sometimes, you need to be aware of them. If you do have school age children, you should know if there are some kids that may have an allergic reaction to certain foods. If you’re having overnight guests, you may want to find out if they are allergic to your pets. If you are aware of allergies ahead of time, you may be able to avoid quite a bit of inconvenience for yourself and others. Plus, it may be appreciated much more than you could ever realize.
