1. Make a list of classified ad sites you intend to post your ad.

2. Number list of ad sites.

3. You can key your ad using subject of your email. Many times, if you ask for a certain "subject" description, it may not be provided. To avoid this problem you can add a simple code to your email tag.

This code should contain your autoresponder address and will automatically fill in subject with your ad key when clicked on. The "cl1" stands for classified ad site number one. The second ad site you have listed should be coded as cl2 or classified ad site number two and so on. By coding your ads you will know exactly where your leads are coming from.
