In the world of online websites one of the most useful is the Craigslist.

Founded originally as a community information site for gigs and events around the San Francisco Bay area Craigslist has developed and maintains its place as one of the most useful sites for all sorts of activities on addition to just community information. It is one of the most famous directories and currently receives over 30 billion page views a month across all their sites.

Essentially listing items on Craigslist is free of charge with certain exceptions such as Jobs and real estate rentals by brokers in New York plus any post for therapeutic services in the US. In addition it is designed as a local site so the listing is only for a city or restricted area. All cities in the US have their own Craigslist site as do most cities in Europe. There are more than 700 Craigslist sites in more than 70 countries.

Because the entire operation is mostly free there are huge numbers of items listed every day and these listings are not indexed beyond the category listed in and the date listed one has to do something to get one's ad noticed.

Craigslist Ad Design is available to fill this requirement. A normal Craigslist listing is done in plain writing without HTML. It is possible to add pictures but if one really wants to make an impression then one needs to do something special.

And here we come to the employment of experts and professionals. There are many disciplines where training and experience is necessary to deliver a competent job. One wouldn't dream of building a bridge without using engineers or a conducting an operation unless one is medically trained but many people think they are advertisement or marketing experts and try to write their own advertising copy.

But professional advertisements seldom come about by happenstance. There is no luck involved. The top advertising agencies are successful because they have lots of experience and a bunch of professional people working for them who know what sells and how to advertise it.

Craigslist ad design are professionals at this stuff. If you write your own copy both for the heading and for the data itself you have the danger of being swamped in amongst the other advertisements that are posted that day, let alone the day before or last week. The fact that the ad will stay live for 45 days means very little as page views of your ad will dwindle to nothing within a few days.

But if you hire professionals to compose your ad for you, doing a job that will make it stand out from the others in the listed category and are prepared to re-list it every couple of days then the money spent will pay for itself in improved hits and sales.
